I recently bought a 94 F-250 Reg Cab 4X4 460-Auto. After 1000 miles my only complaint is the noisy power steering pump and sometime soon I will try the Valvoline Syn-Power cure I read about on this forum. I stumbled across this web site a few days ago and have really enjoyed reading the archives. I have two questions and hopefully someone can help me out (please forgive me I know it's been discussed before).
First I have decided to get the Flowmaster muffler system, but I am not sure about which series (70?) or I/O diameter (2.5 or 3 in). Would it make much difference concerning power, torque, concerning the diameter? As far as the sound I would like something with a little woof, but at the same time want to be able to hear myself think in the cab while cruising down the road. Have any of you used flowmasters (without headers) on a 460?
Second I am considering the K/N filter charger, but after reading some of the posts wonder about it's screening ability. I would like to squeeze another mpg if I could. Has anyone had any problems with this filter system?
Montie, I'm just curious...what did you go with, and what do you think? I have a 1992 F250 4x2 460, standard cab, and I'm doing research on my options. At this point my head is spinning just a little. Flowmaster...Gibson...Banks Powerpack...cat-back only or headers. I want my truck to breathe better, sound healthy, but remain somewhat quiet about it. Suggestions appreciated!
I've got a 1990 F-250 460 with Doug Thorley headers, and a 3" flowmaster with a 3" mandrel bent pipe. It works REALLY well. I use the truck for towing in Idaho, where we have steep hills. It helped substantially. The headers are very thick, which keeps them from having the normal rattly sound headers seem to have. The system is not loud, but sounds good. It's been on there since June of 99, and is holding up just fine.
