high flow muffler

If I add a high flow muffler to my 2006 E-450 V10 RV, will it increase my milage and my hp and will it void my warranty?

I hate to say maybe, maybe not but it really will depend on which muffler you use. The big detriment to airflow in the V10 2V has always been the heads. Headers help somewhat but headers can only extract what can flow in. The new 3V flows alot more hence the higher hp/tq numbers. The 2V can actually lose hp/tq with the wrong muffler. A chambered type seems the work the best for power and exhaust note. The FM 50 or even FM 70 seems to be a good choice. The exhaust note on the V10 gets worse as it gets louder unless you do some expensive mods, ie; headers, high flow cat and/or true duals. For a long wheelbase MH I'd like a FM 50. What you DON'T want is an exhaust drone in the cab, it will drive you right out after a few hours and it's most prevalent at 60-70 mph. Right at cruising speed. So choose wisely, or you'll end up buying 2 mufflers. Ken

from what i have seen being posted on the boards, i would get a fm 70 or another brand of chambered muffler. i have a straight thru muffler on my '99 2valver and it sounds great but when you put the same system on a 3 valver, you get horrible droan and its usually to loud. you probably wont notice any power increases or mileage differences (well until you get it out of your system, you probably will have a VERY heavy foot, which will decrease your mpg) changing the exhuast seems to be more for just the sound your looking for your v10 to make.....
