Where can I find a 40 Series Flowmaster for a 99 Sport SOHC (dual cats)? Thanks!

helllooooooo???
 






What do you want, just the muffler or the system? I would just call around to your local muffler shops and find one that has Flowmaster mufflers it'll prob be cheaper and a heck of a lot easier - or check www.summitracing.com
Good luck
 






Thanks BP, I found a 50 Series (muffler) locally. but I wanted a 40. Can't find a 40 w/dual intakes.
 












Thanks for the Jeg's link jim, but there doesn't seem to be a 40 for my truck, alas. The dual inlets seem to be nonexistant in that series. I've ordered a 50 from my local Meineke dude. Thanks anyway!!
 






beachbuggy, heres what you need to do. you wont find the muffler youre looking for. you need to just buy a single in, single out flowmaster 40 series (if thats what you want) and take it to your local exhaust shop and get some custom pipes run. they can make it work for you - they did it for me and a lot of people on this site, but i dont have a flowmaster. my custom pipes only cost about $110-$120. you might wanna check out some exhaust shops first and see what advice they have for you. i went to meineke. and make sure the muffler you get fits! a muffler for a 4 door wont fit your sport. hope this helps.
 






I went to a local Meineke today to check prices and they want $300-350 just to put a flowmaster and 3" pipe in the stock location! That seems really high considering I had a no name muffler and custom pipe put on my 92 for $130 total. I'd like to put duals out the back but with a 16" spare, tow hitch, and huge air shocks I don't think its possible, even if I found a shop willing to do it. And I'd hate to see the price on that! I'll probably just go with dual in single out 50 series with 3" pipe in the stock location.
 






cougarx, wow, thats ridiculously high. if i were you, id go back to the no name place. as long as they do a good job, i wouldnt worry about the name of the exhaust shop. i mean, my friend goes to a place called "low cost exhaust" for his mustang stuff - sounds kinda shady right, but they do decent work :)
 






oh, my bad, it was a no name muffler, not a no name shop :) get your muffler from somewhere else, like summit and just have them do the work.
 






Thanks Tbomb - I went with the 50 series from my Meineke guy. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but combining the two cat outs into a single in seems to me like it would "choke" the system. No, I don't have any tech papers to back me up, but there it is..

So he ordered me the 50 for $127.00 (probably a few more bucks than I could have found it for online, but if there's a problem with the muffler he has to deal with it), and he's gonna run 2 1/2" pipe out the back for another $70 bucks or so. Sound about right to you? Thanks again!
 






I got a Summit Racing catalog and they have Flowmaster. The catalog even described the performance of each series. It also described how load, quality of the sound, in each series.
