flowmaster for the V10
Hi, ive been reading all the exhaust threads about mufflers lately and was wondering if anybody has any sound clips of a fm 40 or a fm 50 with everything else stock. If not can anybody describe what it sounds like?? I want a loud low sound but really wanna avoid anything ricer like.
Thanks
Thanks

it's loud. plus to get a good sound out of a v10 is near impossible due to the 72 degs of the fireing order.it's not a nice even tone like a v8's 90 degs, it's more ricer like then any thing else. so it's realy more the plusescauseing the tone problem then any thing else .those make it hard to find a good sounding muffler. for a flow master i would use a big block series like a 50 or 70. not a 2 baffle race muffler like the 40 and small 50, i have a 70 on mine and it's still loud under full throttle

Well im lost, i honestly dont know what to do. I want something louder but you guys tell me that loud is bad. And now im scared that if i get a new muffler it will sound like crap and ill have to switch to the stock one again and be out of 100 bucks. I really really dont wanna waste any money and this whole muffler deal is just kinda a big gamble whether or not you like the sound and from what people say it doesnt look good. So im not sure if i wanna risk 100 bucks or more when im not guaranteed something ill like. Any advice would help, thanks!

Well. mine sounds pretty good with a cat and nothing more than pipe and a tip. My Aero-turbine was louder on my 99 Sub. I did not do this mod, the previous owner did. It stays pretty quiet under 2000 rpm, but when you gun it, WOW!

I have a FM40 in place of the stock muffler. I left the factory up and over the rear axle in place and put on a nice 4" Magnaflow SS tip. I love the sound of my truck. It doesnt sound like my old 460s sounded but its nice. The guy at the muffler shop tried to talk me outta this set up, he said V10s dont sound good with Flow masters. When he was done he said it was the first one that sounded good.

You should be able to pick a nice sounding muffler this way while not paying for something you will hate later. I ordered mine from a catalog, when it got here I could look right through it. The V10 needs a chambered muffler to kill some of the drone, and knock down most the '4 cyl Honda' sounds while preserving the deeper rumble of a big-inch american engine. Ken

At cruising (65-70) its barely noticable. Actualy i only notice it just slightly when i let off the gas, and it rumbles. Half the time i forget it an scratch my head wondering what it is....lol. Now if im pulling a load and im out of overdrive it has a nice tone, but nothing i would call loud. I still remember my '65 stang with dual 12 inch glasspacks...that was a sound to hear. Oh and my baby boy (4mo) ZANE loves the sound, puts em to sleep every time.
P.S. it was revved to 3500 rpm's top.
