Question Flowmaster Delta Flow Question

I've found a good deal on a Flowmaster 40 Delta Flow in stainless steel. It would replace the "RedHot" glasspack on my Cherokee I-6. The question is, what about the sound level of the Delta Flow compared to the regular FM 40? Is the Delta Flow very much quieter? I've heard a lot about the drone at highway speeds with the Flowmasters, and don't want to spend the money on something I can't live with.

Thanks for any info.

I have a 40 series delta flow. It is pretty loud outside, but almost nothing inside unless you stand on it.


I love mine.

OK hsfbFan, thanks. I don't care how loud it is outside, as long as it's quiet in the cab. The glasspack I have on it now is too loud inside for my taste, although it does sound good at idle and upon accelleration.

I have two Delta Flow 40s that dump before the rear end. Loud outside, quiet inside, no droning. Running headers as well.

Well, I didn't get the SS Flowmaster, and instead went with a MAC Flowpath for the Jeep. I highly recommend the MACs. They are supposed to flow better than the FMs, and have a very unique tone to them. I've had several different mufflers on this Jeep, and am going to stick with the MAC. It sounds the best, and it seems to give the best throttle response.
