I'm thinking a flowmaster 50 series for my truck. I don't a loud sound, but a nice low grunt would be nice... any suggestions??

I just had a Dynomax Super Turbo installed on
my 3.9 Dak. In-cab noise is not objectionable -
once I have the rattling cat replaced, I'll be able
to hear the exhaust music better. It's not loud,
just present. I like it - and my loud cars days
are waaay behind me.

I installed a Flowmaster Deltaflow 50 series. I love the sound at idle. At constant highway speed I don't even notice it. Just loud enough on regular acceleration. I do get slight "drummimg" noise in the cab at about 1500 rpm, but not bad.
I installed it using the standard exhaust tubing and I'm happy with the results. It REALLY works well with the K&N cold air intake I installed.
Flowmaster number was 942552 (I think).

So is it just the muffler, or do I need to replace the piping at the cat.

I'll agree with that 1500rpm statement. I love the way the thing sounds at that speed once the engine is hot.

Fits in place of the stock muffler. The Flowmaster is shorter, but because you will be welding it in, rather than clamping like stock, you don't need the overlap. I love the sound.

Yep....just got mine put on today. I quite like it myself. If you punch it during 'takeoff' it gets loud, but not annoyingly so, although eventually, if I find something else that I like the sound of better, I will install it. Nice low rumble at idle, and nice low rumble at cruising speed (any cruising speed). But to be honest, I bought mine more to begin helping with increasing MPG and HP/torque, not just for sound.

for sale... Dynomax #17733, fits exactly in place of stock muffler, "just need two clamps".
Was on my Dakota for about 2 months, before I sold the truck.

Ok I thought about going with a 40 series, but a friend said a 50 was the loudest. And would a single to dual outlets kill some of the loudness??

Installed a 30" Cherry bomb Glasspack on my 3.9l 1994 Ram Van... sounds great with very little back pressure.

It has a new cat on it.. I'm guessing it's higher flow than stock.

It raps a little bit around 60 mph on the freeway.. but not too bad.. just seems to hit a certain frequency at certain speeds/loads.

I'm keeping it :)

A str8 pipe would probably work good too.

I've read a lot of stuff about how glass packs just make noise and cause a lot of back pressure, but it's not true.

The OLD style glass packs (some) had louvers in the inside that DID cause a lot of turbulance in them. The new Cherry Bombs don't have louvers.. just tiny dimples.

Go with a Cherry Bomb glass pack :)

Go with either the delta flow 40 series, or the regular 40 series. the regular sounds a little bit more agressive and is the loudest muffler they make.

Igot the 40 series flowmaster and followed the pipe in front of my back passenger side tire. It sounds kick ass. 40 series is way to go. Loud enough for me.
