Red face Interesting....

As many of you know, I installed the Flowmaster 50 on the V10. Usually on winter blend gas here, I get 10.5-11.5 mpg in city driving. Just filled it up since the Flowmaster install and got 13 mpg city. The BEST City mpg before the FM50 was 11.9 mpg.
Is this just a fluke

I don't think so.

But time will tell.

Outpost22,

How do you like the sound? I was looking at the FM40, but I've heard that the FM50 gives better performance while towing. Is this correct?

Thanks.

The 50 should be a little better for torque than the 40. It is also quieter than the 40, which equates to a quieter cab noise level as well. That was more important than the exterior noise level for me. Overall sound is up about 20% on the exterior. It's not a V8 sound, but I like it.
