 Subject: Got me a Flowmaster
IP: Logged
Message:
Just wanted to say I finally got me a Flowmaster muffler put on... still got the stock cat though. Even though Greg and I think someone else mentioned on one of the boards not to have a turndown put on, I went ahead and had one cuz I wanted it to be loud. The guy at the local muffler shop said the best combo for loudness using the original Flowmaster 40 series was to have a 3 1/2" turndown put on right after the muffler (The muffler is 2.5" single in though...so he said I wouldn't lose any backpressure). Man, ya'll weren't kidding when you said it'd be loud. I like loud and I'm hoping I can get used to the buzzing in my ears when I take off slowly...lol. The upper RPM's aren't too bad, but DAMN the lower ones are DEEEEEEP! Total cost including labor was $107. The shop is a family-owned/run business and they are all straight from the most redneck parts of Kentucky... missing half their teeth and all, but they do a damn good & speedy job and their prices are the lowest around as well. Tomorrow is my 18th birthday...hopefully I can hold off getting any tickets for noise violations til then. I'm gonna write Street legal on my receipt so if I get pulled over, I can show the cop and hope he lets me fly...haha. Overall, I really like the sound...but I'm sure my neighbors are gonna love hating it.

Cool!!
i knew it would be loud, but i only recommend that you dont do a turndown if you dont want the loud buzzing in the cab. I kinda like it so that's why i always have turndowns. Flowmasters actually flow better with about 6" of pipe after the muffler. It helps the chamber effect and pulls air out of the engine better.

I have a Flowmaster with a turndown too on my 2000 V6 cc. I love the loudness and the buzzing. I haven't had any problems with cops or anything either.

Josh, I have the same setup. I love it! I don't notice much inside the cab because I also upgraded the sound system.

What do you guys think about putting the flowmaster on an 89 3.9 dak?
Would there be any disadvantages?
