i am really close to putting on an exhaust. i'm really leaning towards flowmaster but advanced auto parts has dynamax and auto-zone has edelbrock but their about all the same in price. anyone use these? jc whitney carries the flowmaster but is all the way in lasalle county which is a haul and the other are in the neiborhood.

 

Hey have you considered going with MAGNAFLOW that is what i chose to put on my 04 edge and i am very pleased with the result

 

i have and thanks. i'd really like to know what guys that have gone with the alternative to flowmasters think of their choice. do you like the sound?

 

The sound is very smooth and deep... at around 110 km it is a very nice sound, and at idle a nice sound as well

 

I also have a Magnaflow. I like the sound. But, I have heard any other 4banger ranger in town with exaust, so I wouldn't know what to compare it against.

 

i haven't got a 4banger its the 3.slow. it has a nice rumble to it now with stockers on it but need want to upgrade.

 

Well then I will tell you, the 3.0 sounds great with a flowmaster on it. I've heard one and was impressed by the rumble it had. Now it had more bark than bite, but it made you think,

 

thanks for that. i wonder if it would sound as good with dynamax, edelbrock,magnaflow, etc. i know it ain't gonna make it a rocket but at least it may sound cool, right? and maybe breathe a little better.

 

Something people don't think about, is when you throw on a straight through design muffler you are loosing torque. So I would stay away from them. Has anybody noticed more power with a magnaflow?. I used to have a 2.5L and I noticed the flowmaster 40 gave it more ***** when under load, Can't decide what to do with my new 4.0L.

 

it looks like flowmaster will be the way to go for me. everyone seems to like them and i haven't heard anything bad about them and the price is about the same for all the brands.

 

OK i have an 04 edge with a 3.0 under the hood when i originally installed the magnaflow i actually did notice an increase!!!!!! i couldnt spin the tires but then i could. (wasnt because the pavement was wet either) lol anyways magnaflow does give a nice sound to the 3.0 and with a cold air intake upgrade the sound gets even better.....

 

My cousin had magnaflow i think it was and it wasnt loud enough so he went with the flowmasters on his f-250 with the 5.4L i think it was.

I went with the Flowmasters because i liked the sound of a truck i seen. It had the same engine as mine so i figured it would get the same thing. I'm not sure what kind i have. here's a couple videos if yall care to see how it sounds when reving up.

a little drive by from the side <--1.4MB
from inside the bed of the truck <-- 2.6MB

I really regret not making notes of if there was a performance increase or not before and after i got the muffler work done. I was too excited about the sound and the fact i finaly got it done after over a year of waiting. And marcusg is right, cold air intake makes a nice difference!

 

Rajun Cajun your truck sounds mean dude, I'm now thinking of putting a new Flowmaster on my 4.0 1990 model..

 

Flowmaster on 91 3.0. Have been accused of having a V-8 several times.

 

Thanx Rageris4me, but the 3.0's dont sound like that with just the flowmasters on them. I think the sound i have has a lot to do with the fact that i hallowed out the rear cat. I also think the new intake made a difference but i dont know. I just remember my exaust not sounding as loud or throaty when i got it done. But with all things like that, it's all opinion. I'm very glad to see guys here who use other brands.

Is there a way to check which series of flowmasters i have w/o asking the person who done it? I dont think it's written on the muffler itself but i could be wrong. Sorry if it's a dumb questoin, but im just curious.
