flowmaster exhaust

I've been thinking of putting either a Flowmaster 40, super 40, delta 40, super 44, 50, 50 big block, or 70 big block. I have a 2006 5.4 v8. Out of all of these, which one has the best sound, but isn't really really loud?

Try magniflow first. Then try the flowmaster 50.

When I was looking at V8 exhausts, I wanted a deep rumble with no raspyness and no popping crap. I liked the magniflow the best. I think the larger flowmaster mufflers will give u a quiet and deep rumble as well.

I got a flowmaster 40 series with an additional turbo muffler before the flowmaster to quiet things down. I'm pretty happy with it. Sounds awesome and I can drive late at night and not wake the neighbors.

As far as flowmaster goes... I had a super 44, now I got the 10 series. They sound about the same, the 10 is louder and I like the exhaust note while she's idling better than the 44. Drone in the cab isn't too bad. Around 1300-1400 rpm is the drone zone... anywhere above or below that, its quiet.

Go to the flowmaster website, they have sound clips of the different mufflers.

Try the larger length magniflow. Maybe 18 inch? I really dont know. Try looking on YouTube.

I picked up a 10 ft piece cheap at a Mills Fleet Farm; kind of a farm/everything store. Shorter pieces might even be available at auto parts stores for not much; it's not going to be that much shorter, so you won't need a lot.
