Personally I like flowmaster I hate to pay the price so I started making my own. But do your research most muffler brands have sound clips and buy the sound you like not what you were told to buy.

I don't know if I understand what the differences and pro/con of all these mufflers are.....sadly, I've only ever bought mufflers for Air-cooled VW's before, of which there about 2 types.....lol......
Seems I'm looking at the "flowmaster" mufflers based on good commentary I have heard....but I don't get the difference, etc for a 40 series Delta flow vs. Super 40 vs. super 44 vs. 40 series Street and strip. Then there is what is the benefit of a "3 chambered" vs. a "2 chambered" muffler?
Are there certain ones that trucks should use over others....or is all this just purely a matter of essentially equal choices?
For posterity sake....here are some pics of the current "rocket engines" on my truck....(I'm gonna miss 'em)

I got just 24" glass packs on mine, they're pretty loud, and with a finely tuned carb do not pop a lot, just a hair on decel. however, i don't know what kind of performance they added over whatever was on it to begin with, as these were already on here with true duals when i bought it. they are pretty quiet inside the cab down the highway, as i can tune them out with a cd player and the cheap speakers i got.

Here's what I know about the 2 and 3 chambered Flowmasters: If you're running a big block, or in our case an FE, go with 3 chambers. Smaller engines will do fine with the 2 chamber. The biggest difference is the two chambered are just too loud for the bigger engines.

Well, I had to go with the Dynomax 85066 headers...as they seem to be the *ONLY* ones that fit the "High Boy" trucks....same as the leaking/bent ones I already have... I'm looking towards the flowmaster 50's....as it seems I need a 3-chambered muffler for the 390.
