flowmaster or anything else??????

I'd have to say the flowmasters. I've been running them for years and they've given me the best sound.

The 40s aren't the loudest but they'll sound great!
If you want any louder you'll have to go with straights, Imco Extreme mufflers or Flowmaster single chambers.

I just put 2.5" Series 40 Flows on my truck about 3 weeks ago and I'm glad I got them. There are imitations out there but I say there is nothing better than a Flowmaster. They are loud but not so loud that it's obvious your truck has no mufflers.

hey 78 ranger,not to hijack your thread,but since you won't answer your pm's I guess I have no choice what headers did you get to fit with the 351w in your truck,and how much tricky pipe bending had to be done to get them to work? thanks,Ben
