I have a 70 series. It has a really nice tone and its deep. It would be a good muffler for someone who wants a deep tone and not really loud. But thats what i don't like about this muffler is that it isnt loud enough.

A little louder than stock would be okay, but not much. I take a lot of long drives for dirt bike trips. The V10 has a hypnotic "hum" with the stock muffler already.
Sounds like the 50 series might be right. Is there a 60?
Also, did any of you guys have the annoying buzz from what sounds like a heatshield? I would be curious to hear how you solved the problem.

J--Rod,
I had the 70 series on my last V10. It sounded just a little deeper/louder than stock. I too would have preferred a little louder exhaust.
Fellow FTE member "TeamMudd" has a website with some great Flowmaster soundclips of the V10:

If you want the same sounding truck as everyone else, then install a toadmaster. If you are looking for great sound, and better performance Ulra-flo round, or the Ultr-flo bullet should not be overlooked. The straight through design out flows any chambered muffler, and the sound is second to none, especially on the already funny sounding
V-10.

No ricers. I hate the rice sound, and would not run them on any of my rigs. I run the Ultr-flo round on two of my V-10's, and the bullet on the Excursion. I like the deeper tone of the round muffler, but the bullet has a tone all of it's own. I believe there are some sound clips that can be found on this site under the exhaust section. We had a discussion on this same thing a month or so ago. I did have a flowmaster once upon a time. I was not displeased with the sound, just that everyone has them, and I like having my own. Eventually more people will have the ultr-flo, for now I have my own sound in my area. I was also impressed with the extra flow numbeers of the Ultra-flow mufflers. I did put all of them on a flow bench, and was not too impressed with the Flowmaster. Funny how they can call it a flowmaster, when it really is not.
Oh well, guess that is the way it goes.

Want a DEEP sound...enlarge the pipe after the muffler to at least 3.5".

That is the one.
That one is not as loud as the bullet, and has a slightly deeper tone. Been on the trucks for a few years now with zero problems.
By the way, I also run a full tailpipe. Dont like the reverbs inside of the cab without it. Think it sounds better too.
