Flowmaster original 40 Series....

Hey all,

Want to put a 40 series on my truck, and have a few questions:

Is it annoyingly loud? I've got everything except the roof of my cab sound deadened, but can still hear quite a bit of road noise. I also have my windows down almost ALL the time. I only plan on chopping my stocker and welding in a SI/SO turned down before the rear axle. My coworker says I shouldn't worry too much about cab noise, but he's got a 93 5.0 pushing 480hp at the crank and 420ft-lbs rwhp running duals with test pipes....My main concern is if I am going to take an 8 hr drive, will I get sick of it real quick?

What diameter do i get? Yes, I AM too lazy to go out and measure it.

Thanks in advance,
rman

Diameter will be 2.5" in and out if you are dumping it...

I have that EXACT exhaust on my truck. I love the sound of it! It's not at all annoyingly loud to me. I wish it were a bit louder to tell you the truth, but I'm kinda hardcore about that stuff. I think you'll be pleasantly satisfied with that setup.

True4.2, do you know if the Origional 40 Series has the single "V" in the muffler or if it has 2 "V"'s? Whats the difference in it and the Delta 40? Thanks

the flowmaster will be loud. if you are a noise freak you will not like it. the magnaflow will give you equal performance with less noise.
