- 1998 Sport 4wd- V6 Sohc
I recently had a dual in single out 2.5", Flowmaster 50 series intalled on my V6 Sohc. As part of the package the installer offers Chrome exhaust tips. I chose a tip that is about 16 inches long and 3.5" wide with an angle cut . I had it welded high at an angle so only the last 3 inches are visible under the bumper. It looks awesome.
The muffler sounds great at idle and has increased my mpg between 3-5mpg coupled with the intake. The problem is it resonates very loud between 2300-2800 rpms. It is a loud drone that fills the cabin. At 70mph on the highway my sohc sits around 2500rpm and the drone sucks. I have to turn my radio up 1/2 way to cover it.
I love the deep sound the truck has at idle and the chrome tip looks awesome, but could it be megaphoning the muffler drone? The 50 series muffler is supposed to be a bit louder than stock. Most of the time the sound cant be hear with the exception of the above rpm range.
Any ideas on what I can do to quite this thing short of replacing the muffler?
