Has anyone installed one of these on their V10?

Unlike any muffler you have ever seen or heard before

Traditional muffler designs remove sound in two ways: friction and absorption. Friction mufflers (stock type, turbo type, chambered) have high back pressure and can cause extreme high resonance and noise inside the vehicle at certain engine speeds (2000 to 3000) RPM.

Absorption (packed mufflers) have a straight through design, they can have good flow but the packing begins to deteriorate and get louder as they wear out, and with modern engines the heat is very high which destroys the packing even quicker.

Spin Tech's patented design provides maximum performance for today's modern engines. Its all done by means of a Spin sound trap, which captures sound vibration (noise) and turns it into heat within the muffler case. As exhaust gases enter they are routed to the spin traps which create a high velocity vortex trapping the sound waves. The extremely high flow rates are achieved by a unique internal scavenging system that creates a venturi effect.

Developed and fine tuned in the toughest race tracks of America, our product development continues as "Spin Tech Performance" mufflers are gaining more and more followers in the extremely competitive racing areas of Drag Racing, Circle Track Racing and Road Racing! Race officials are frequently requiring mufflers on competition vehicles, more often than not the 95 DB rule is becoming the norm. Spin tech performance mufflers can make the difference between winning and losing!

Seems the mustang boys like them. Try one, if you don't like it replace it. Its only money.

I put one on my 01 Dodge V10 and liked it very much. Had a very decent sound compared to other 10's I've heard with aftermarket mufflers.

Did it have any drone inside the cab?

How loud was it outside? Would it compare most with a Flowmaster 40, 50 or 70 series muffler?

Thanks,
Mark

Not sure which FM it would compare to as I never heard any of them on a 10. Probably the 70 if I had to guess. Zero drone. Nice and throaty outside but quiet inside at cruising speeds. A very good muffler on the Dodge 10 and I'm assuming it would work the same for a Ford...

This spintech muffler actually caught my eye, has some capacity to it. (Capacity is good for the V10) http://www.spintechmufflers.com/spin...ntechindex.asp

I spoke with Spintech. They said they install mostly their Sport Truck SUV (4x8.5x22) muffler on V10's and some Sportman Street XL (4x9.5x16). They said if you tow a lot, you could go with their quietest muffler, Truck RV (4x10.5x20).

I think mine was a sport truck-suv.
