IF you want MPG's flowmaster is not the choice for you. You need a straight through muffler like a Magnaflow or Gibson. Flowmasters use internal baffels totune the muffler for sound. Baffels = restriction = less performance and less MPG's
While true for the most part, the difference in gas mileage/power between FM/Magnaflow/Gibson will be minimal in my opinion on a near stock 4.0. If we are talking about a 540 BBF with 13.5 compression built to rev to 7 grand, then we might see a difference.
The same goes for which series FM to get. Either series will be very close in gas mileage, the sound is what will change. I'd go with the 50 because the 44 will be hella loud and will get old/annoying over time. But if you like loud, then get the 44
Also, I doubt you'll see more than 1-2 mpg with an exhaust change. There will be a small gain and small power increase, but the butt-dyno will barely notice it. The biggest change for me was mid-high RPM pull was a little stronger(according to the butt-dyno). Now do the exhaust, CAI, efan and tune, you'll feel a difference there.
