I would say a 40 series flowmaster sounds good for the v-6's. I have a 50 series, and I like it but the 40 is a little deeper and less ricer.
Wouldn't want any other!

with flowmaster, the lower in the series you go the louder it is, I'd go with a 40 series.

I would go with 2" outs. You will need the back pressure.

in my opinion, the 50-series delta flows is your best bet. not too loud in the cabin but gives a pretty deep rumble outside (still sounds like a v6). it doesn't sound "ricey" like what these fools say. it sounds "whitey" or even "crackery."

It depends on what you want. All Flowmasters give improved performance over OEM. The 50 Series delta flow is loud, and resonates in the cab. I found it really annoying, but I'm an old guy. The 70 Series that I replaced it with is almost as quiet as OEM, but rumbles pretty well outside. I like it.

whitey? Whatever that means. Hey, we all have our own likes and sounds.

I want a sound that is nice and deep without the honda/import sounds...i hate that. Especially when i am crusing, around 55-70 mph's, i dont want it to be whining. Just nice and low at idle, when i gas it, and when im drivin i want it to be a good sound. thanks all.

I put a 70 series II big block on mine 2 1/2 in 2 1/2 out. It's basically the 50 series 3 chamber but longer to be an almost perfect fit to replace stock muffler. It's rather quit, but sounds good to me.

Why yes I do. flo-52572. I got it from Summit Racing. $98.00 or so to my door. Go to manufacturer search, drop down menu to flowmaster and put part # 52572 and it will tell you all about it.

Thanks Dirkota
OK now what would your interruption of "rather quite" be compared to stock ?
also do you have a RC,CC or QC truck ?

I have a RC. It has double the note that the stock one did at idle, and in the cab it is a mild rumble. When I get into the throttle it has 2 1/2 times the tone but it's not open header loud or anything. I use my vehicle for couriering from a small airport (noise restrictions at night) to a federal building (guards with shotguns) so I needed it to be kinda mellow. I like the muffler. As I said it is basically the 50 series just longer in my opinion. If you compare the two you may come to the same conclusion.

Hmmm, still sounds like the Flowmaster 70 might be a little loud for me. My Dynomax Super Turbo is much too loud on my V6, and I just plain, flat don't like the V6 sound. I've decided that if I'm going to hear my exhaust, it's gonna have to be coming from a V8. On my V6, I want the stock sound level, or just barely above it. Any mufflers that can do that, without putting an OEM unit back on? Anyone tried running 2 mufflers in series? Anyone tried a Walker Quiet Flow?

I would also recommend the 70 series Flowmaster. It sounds louder than OEM, but not much louder in the cab. It gave me a noticable power increase and I am very satisfied with it. However, I don't think you can go wrong with Flowmaster in general.

The worst thing with the Auto tranny is the droning you get inside when it lugs down, usually just before it down shifts.

I have an automatic, but I haven't heard any of that droning. Could it have something to do with the TPS mod I did to improve throttle response? There is almost no lag when my truck kicks down a gear.

I always had v8's so I am used to the exhaust sounding deep but I am afraid to make it sound ricey, after reading this i feel like my best bet is to wait till hear one i like then ask the driver what he has.
