I bolded the most important part of it right there. When you can hear the power of the motor, it's almost addicting to be flooring it all the time. But seriously, I got about .5mpg out of it at least. Power wise, not much, a little more responsive at the high end mabey, nothing that noticeable.

My video tonight that i'm gonna go out and make on my drive to cairo is going to include a tach/speedo/windshield view, startup, 40mph run, grade acceleration and 60mph cruise, then a speed run, gunning as hard as it can from 0 to about 85mph. I'll get it online as soon as possible and post here.

Well i did have a video uploaded, but it turns out that youtube does not like my camera's format. So I'll have to convert it first. I'll get it up tomorrow guys. Sorry about that.

I really like the sound at 2000 RPMs. Mine is much more quiet inside but it could be because the new Expy's made them more sound proof. I will do my videos tomorrow, maybe one today but the drive by videos tomorrow. I need to find out which one they put on, how can I tell?

Only a receipt or the shop could tell you that. Most of the companies put nothing unique on a muffle to identify it (no one sees it anyways), so you can't just look at it to tell.

Hmmm Maybe I will have my husband call the guy. All I know is I paid $100 installed, but we get stuff done for super cheap. Connections are good to have.

Thanks alot. I really wish I had the camera this afternoon. I was passing a slow car and it was almost like staging. I reved her to about 2200RPM as i caught up, then right when I pulled out hit 4,300RPM, sounded absolutely awsome.

We're getting ready to put a single in/dual out Flowmaster 50 SUV Delta Flow on the 1995 Bronco Eddie Baur my dad has. He's always wanted it.

I finally had a chance to video my Expedition on startup and idle. Its not the greatest video (hubby thought he was a dork videoing) Anyway, you can get an idea of how nice it does sound. One day I will take it out on an open road and video while driving.

Dang girl that's louder than mine, that's got some meat on it. If i had one that was that loud (which I wanted at first, the Super 40), mom wouldn't be able to sit in the truck. She thinks the Delta Flow 50 is too loud inside :P.

Man that sounds good. I bet openning the quarter windows make it impossible to stay of the gas.

Hell, I only get 10 mpg around town...I guess I tend to get on a bit. I think exhaust might make it worse. BUT is that a bad thing?
