Alright I give up on finding a Saleen, so I'm going to end up with a 2002 Mounty 4.6 and luxury package. I already had flowmasters on my 94' so I was planning to get Magnaflows on the mounty because they sound incredible on the 4.6 V8. But I found another company that a lot of people don't know about, CGS Exhaust systems, has anybody heard of them?? I been searching their site and they have some awsome products. Listen to their soundclips, can't remember what truck it is, but damn does it sound mean. I'd love to hear what they would sound like on a 5.0 or 4.6. I was also looking into Edelbrock and they sound pretty nice also. Anybody using these exhaust?

Damn, nobodys heard of CGS? Have any of you heard/have Edelbrocks on V8 Explorers?

1 other thing, on 02's w/ 4.6, do you know if its a dual in for the muffler?
 






I havent heard of CGS but i am going to check them out. I have a 91 explorer and i have the 4.0 L in it. How much do you like the flowmaster exhaust system? Do you get good sound out of it as of now? And what would you suggest for my explorer for a cat back system? What do you prefer?
 






I got my flowmaster exhaust a few days after I got my explorer when I was 16, that was 4 years ago and it still sounds about the same. Unfortunatley I didn't know there were different series of the muffler and sizes of the pipes. I just took mine to meinike and told them to put a flowmaster exhaust on. I only have a single out the side becasue they said my trailer package was in the way of doing duals (BS becasue I've seen plenty of duals on Explorers/Mounty's) So I'm not sure what series they used or the size of the pipe but it always sounded a little ricey to me. It sounds nice at startup and right on takeoff but then it's quiet untill pass 3000 rpm after that it has a growl to it that doesn't really sound like a flowmaster, not sure why but it sounds like a deep F1 car in a weird way if that makes sense. I had my sister floor it down our street and it has a wicked sound towards redline, but not that common flowmaster sound you normally hear which I think is weird, they might have made my pipe a little too big.

For your 91' I would go with either Flowmaster or Magnaflow (incredible sound on v8's but never heard them on a 6) I personnally don't like the sound of borlas (heard on a SOHC) but to each his own. The most popular choices are 40 series and 50 series flowmasters, the 40's being very deep and loud and the 50's being a little more mild. They also make a delta version thats about as loud outside as the regular muffler but with less interior resonance, I can't remember if they still make a delta for the 40's though. I would buy a muffler and have a custom shop make duals for you, just make sure to use the right size pipes to keep backpressure. Duals look a lot better on a truck than a single out personally. Definitley look into CGS, I did some research, and almost all of the showtrucks I found they all used CGS exhaust. It also talks about that on their website, dowload the video of the truck they have, I think it was a Dakota but damn it sounds mean as hell.
 






hey thanks for the advice. I think i am going to go wtih the flowmaster 50 series catback system. I modified my stock exhaust sytem to have a single rear exit just to the right of the spare tire it looks ok. I wish i could to do duals cuz i saw a 92 explorer and it was really good looking. Unfortuantley i am going to purchse a towing hitch for my explorer i had to move a huge rock that was in my way and i kinda bent my bumper up. I did manage to get it back down but i would not want to tow anything of value with it anymore. But thanks for your advice. And by the way the rock i moved stood no chance to 4x4lowrange. whoo hoo
