I have a flowmaster 40 on my truck, with no cat, and full tailpipe (2.25"). Windows up, can't hear it. Windows down, it has a nice tone, without being overly loud. I only put the flowmaster on because it was given to me, barely used, and my old exhaust was 10 years old, and falling apart.

Too loud is getting tickets and irritating neighbors. I can hear it over the radio, but when I want to get on it and listen, I ususally turn the radio off to get the full effect. Probably not as loud as you would like.

I would not say it is a guarenteed head turner, though might turn a few now and then. Maybe the Flowtech Terminator muffler would be. You might want to try a straight pipe instead of a muffler.

It's really difficult to find a muffler that will give you the loud, head turning sound you want, without being overly obnoxious the rest of the time.
I like the way mine sounds with the FM 40. It really surprised me that it wasn't overly loud inside the truck. I have no idea what it sounds like under hard acceleration, as I rarely exceed 1/2 throttle in this old truck.
I can say this much about the way it sounds. My 16 year old son likes it.
