Glass packs are going to sound like ass. 40 Series is really loud. Most OHC owners use the 50 series.
 






I dunno what series of flows I got on my explorer but I love the sound.
 






flowmaster all the way...if you like loud then go for a 40 the 40 delta is the equevelnt of a 50 and the 50 suv is fairly quiet but it still sounds nice and throaty.
 






Not only will glasspacks prolly sound like ass initially, but after a while they get even worse, as in louder and raspier, because the packing discinigrates (sp?). They dont last at all. Dont get them unless your on a serious budget.
 






worked on a sport trac with 4.0 sohc and a glasspack the other day. all i really have to say about it is: don't
 






i manage an exhaust shop & took out the cat. convertor & ran 2.5 inch from the y-pipe all the way out the back with a 2.25 inch walker dynomax super turbo part # 17731 & it sounds wicked. nice & deep & gets loud only when you really get on it

Thanks for destroying the air I breathe. You should be fired.
 






^^^^^hey hey hey...dont flame....i read somthing that this guy hollowed out his cat and it actually did not put out very many hydro carbons more then with one......
 






Not flaming, stating facts.
 






some factory cats do squat some are effective the engine has a little more to do with what comes out of the tail pipe then the cat.
 






yeah i think im just gonna cut out my muffler and weld in a 4o series and put a straight pipe where the resonator is
 






Yup

I would recommend just gettin the 40 and takin out the resonator...its sounds good enough. If you really want it to roar take advantage of both your cats and put on dual 40's. I did that and have them dumpin straight from the muffler and its great...and I can pass emissions :)
