muffler for V10
Ok guys, I've been around a long time and have read plenty of posts on this topic. I had a Borla cat-back on my 99 for over 130,000 miles and had 0 issues with it. It had a mellow "roar" that I liked. Borla isn't making anything yet for the new 3V V10 so I'm getting tired of waiting and frankly don't want to spend the $$. My plan is to just swap the stock muffler for an aftermarket muffler. So how about a quick roll call on V10 mufflers? Brand, type of tailpipe(single or duals) and how do you think it sounds(raspy, roar, rumbly etc) Believe me I know the V10 will never sound like a V8. So what says you all?

I am running the Banks muffler and it is too quiet for my tastes. In fact, to me it sounds barely louder than stock. I'm having a hard time deciding which Flowmaster I want, the 50 or 70 series......

After hearing some of the feedback in this thread, I think I will be going with a FM 50 because I am led to believe the FM 70 won't be much louder than the banks muffler. Anybody have any thoughts on this?
Going with the FM 50...will give you more sound.

I have the FM70 and just driving around there is just a little difference from stock. Where I notice it is at idle, with that deep FM rumble, and when I really open it up. I was going through the tunnel on K St. in DC last week and opened it up, it was louder than I thought out the back. I tow a TT with my family so I don't really want any extra interior noise...The 70 is perfect for me.

I've been trolling the exhaust and muffler threads for quite some time now. I've got an 05' 3 valve harley truck. I'm looking for the right exhaust combination to create some exhaust tone. I don't want the in cab drone or raspyness of a ricer. I've been considering doing a FM muffler swap. I want to keep the large chrome exhaust tip that comes with the Harley and don't see any advantage with a larger cat back single pipe or duals. That's why I'm only going to do the muffler. Also, I did just the muffler on my 01' Screw and it sounded good. I know the V-10 won't sound like the 5.4 did.
Does anyone know if the 99'-04' V-10 exhaust (cat back) is the same diameter as the 05'-06'?
