so your saying take out my flow master muffler 40 series and put or straight pipe in its place? or a cherry bomb? WIll it pass emissions like that? thanks
 






Muffler's have nothing to do with emissions all they do is quiet down the exhaust. Now whether or not you'll get a noise ordinance ticket or not, depends on the city you live in.
 






My pipes rotted off after the cats so I just put an 18 inch pipe and a muffler tip angle down. A link to the sound clip is below. Its a little loud around town and not to bad on the highway. I think it sounds best when passing on the freeway. This is only temporary though got to make it legal before inspection in Oct. ;)

I know this is the oppsite of what the main poster was looking for but... I got an 03 4.0 Explorer. I put in a flowmaster 40 series and I hate it! Sounds stock after 2500 rpms. I then put in a K&N cold air intake, thinking it would help. Which it helped performance wise, but you can now hear the intake over the muffler. Does any one know, staying on a budget, what Muffler or what I can use to make my truck sound beastly? I want it to be a head turner. I want people that hear me pass to say what the hell is under that hood! Any one have a nice set up that makes there 4.0 sound like a beast? If so please email asap at smdunit@tmail.com thanks!!!! :D :exp: :thumbsup:


IMCO extreme series muffler. The sound awesome and since its a single chamber they have some good volume to them. I was inthe same position as you with the flowmaster 40 being to quiet. I got mine at http://hileri.com/?pageid=50844
They have really good service and prices and I have ordered from them twice. Good luck.

So its basicaly an expansion chamber add on since it has no internals. That might sound good but if your truck is the family truckster, then I might think twice.
 






I love it, but if I had a family then there is no way I would have it. Not a good choice for a family vehicle. Single man, now thats another story :burnout:
 






Did it sound anything like my clip or better?
 






It sounded a lot better. Nice and deep. But lets not hijack this thread anymore.

So what your saying is rip out my quiet stock sounding 40 series flowmaster and in its place put a Imco Exreme series muffler in its place? Which is going to be much louder and a head turner? Even though its a 4.0? Is it ricy sound or is it beastly sounding? I got a 2003 eddie bauer 4 door what size muffler am I supposed to order? The 2 1/2 or the 2 3/4? Which one will fit the stock pipes? Thanks snowcross and the others that helped! Write back asap so I can order! If you wouldn't mind can you also email me at smdunit@tmail.com that goes directly to my mobile device. Ill see it faster. THanks!! :exp: :thumbsup: :D
 












Any one of those can be made to fit your application. It all depends on if you want single out or dual out. I wanted single out 2.5" so I am using the 7426.

I am not gonna make any garantees on sound levels. Listen to Afboys clips here http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162358&highlight=imco

Decide for yourself. Any more discussion about this, please move it to pm's I will not post here anymore and hijack the guys thread anymore than we already have.

I ordered it.. thanks for the help... I will let you guys know how it sounds when i put it on. As long as its louder than the flowmater 40series ill be happy! :D
if not ill be pissed becuase that flowmaster is a joke.. Thanks again!
 






Is the stock pipe size out of the cats 2 1/4? I need a new flange so I can make a new system.
 






from the cat to the muffler is 2" on my 94
 






What do you guys think about this one. Granted its on a Cavilier with a V6 but that is one mean sound. :D The first one is with a resonator and the 2nd with out. I like it! They are spendy though. Around 200 for the resonator and muffler. :( Muffler is worth more than the car.

your exhaust is run just like mine, but I got mine out the back, not sides...

Do you have any way of recording sound? (camcorder?) you can bring the audio in that way....

I'd like to hear what it sounds like!
