Help on exhaust

Hi, i have a 03 f-250 and i just put a flowmaster super 40 muffler on my truck and it sounds stock. why? I just removed the stock muffler and replaced it with the flowmaster. I thought the super 40 was one of flowmasters louder mufflers? Should i replace it with something else? Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks

Thanks for the reply but doesnt glasspacks have a "crackle" sound? Im not looking for that sound I would like the deep rummble. I was thinking about putting the flowmaster super 10 or magnaflow bullet. Has anyone tryed these? If so let me know what you think.

I find it hard to believe that it is not louder than stock. Maybe it's just not as loud as you expected it to be?

I installed a Magnaflow single in/out in place of the stock muffler and although it's not considerably louder it has a nice tone to it. I had researched the Flowmaster 40 series through several peoples experience and had the impression the Flowmaster was louder than the Magnaflow. Just my .02 cents

If your truck still has the stock cats, they are excellent mufflers.
