for some pics of ways of ways to rute the exhaust, look at my superford page, this was done by a local exhaust shop for me. i think it sounds nice and mean, i think it is too quiet. it is hard for me to say what kindof performance that i got out of it because at the same time came a new computer, converting to a 351w EFI, hedders, and high flow cats.

I love mine, but i to went with a set of headers and had the exhaust redone to 3" from the cat back. I had the shop put a slight angle on the flowmaster so it wouldnt resonate so much in the bronco. the sound is great , but i would recomend you get the whole exhaust done thats were you will notice the most gain. I would also stay single unless you can find a shop that will do a true dual setup.
good luck

I have a 1984 Bronco with a 460, L&L headers feeding into 2 1/2 " pipes into dual 'football' cats, into a Flowmaster Series 70 Big Block II dual in / dual out single muffler. Then over the rear axle and exiting the rear of the truck at a 45 degree angle.
It sounds VERY NICE!

I have duel delta flow 40 series with 2 1/2" pipes into 3" tips sounds great. with a little notice in performance increase not sure as to how much though. The sound on the inside is a little more than what i was hoping for though. But sometimes you have to sacrifice something. all in all have been pleased though.

Just remember, more air out....more air in. Dont just make a change to your exhaust....do something about your air intake as well. Flowmaster has been in business for many years and they have some good products. But they arent the only ones. Check around, you may find what you need without having to pay top dollar.

i have herd someone say that Raptor turbos sound just as good. its not going to sound the same as flowys. if you are looking at price. i would go with glasspacks. i personally think they sound neat.
for sound comparison, check out this guys rig, he is running dual glasspacks on his blown 351efi. he has a couple videos to listen to- http://www.superford.org/registry/ve...s=4908#content

jojo your right it does sound pretty good and that is one kick *** rig his got as well. so you say the raptor turbos are pretty close to flows, I think they might last a bit longer then glasspacks I had a glasspack on a f150 and it lasted maybe a year, any other ideals would be great guys thanks.

oh im sry thats not what i ment. what i herd about the raptor turbos is that some poeple perfer the tone they give rather than flowmaster. i have not personally herd the raptor turbos yet. just taking someones opinon. I have flowmasters on my truck. but i am starting to wonder if what i really wanted was glasspacks.

I have an 89 and i just had the exhaust redone,
I have headers so what i did was have them run a custom y pipe and then install the 2 1/2 pipe up over the axle with a flowmaster. The muffler cost me 98.00 and souds great when you open it up has a great chug at idle as well. I also run the Flowmaster in my Trans Am couldn't get me to change for anything.

I have a single Flowmaster on my '92 351W. Sounds gnarly, and the throttle response seems a little better.
I went that route 'cuz OEM-type mufflers never seem to last more than a couple of years, and I liked the look of that welded heavy-gauge muffler. Didn't feel like hassling with duals. I was running a Carquest store at the time so it didn't cost me much.

Give a single chamber flowmaster a shot if you like the glasspack pop and flowmaster rumble. I'v got one on the end of a 3" bassani y-pipe fed by a set of hedman shorty headers. Good rumble and growl with a nice popping when you get into it. Good if you like that sort of thing. Be warned though, it is loud.
