    would anybody say its a bad idea to add a 2nd flow master muffler to there exhaust. i know its not a V8 but i had to get ride of the shit exhaust that was on it b4 so i bought a flow master cat back system and it sounds better but I'm still a little irritated with the raspy sound that comes out of it and want to quiet it down a bit more.

    maybe i should have tried the Magna flow out haha not sure if that would make it any different tho....:rolleyes:

    I think it would sound better if you just changed it out all together...IDK about adding ANOTHER muffler...

    Two Flowmasters basically welded end to end might get some strange results.

    If you keep the Flowmaster, it would probably do better to run the Flowmaster and then install a glasspack or Magnaflow after it to tone down the rasp.

    I think PMK's got you covered. Running two delta flow mufflers (Flowmasters) in-line would produce even more of a flow decrease then one. Adding a resonator or a straight through muffler (magnaflow, Dynomax Super Turbo, Borla, etc.) would be a better alternative.

    Have you considered selling the entire catback, go back to stock, then cut in one of the straight-throughs from above? Cheaper and same effect....

    the issue of mine is i never had stock when i bought the truck. it was some shit stripped out muffler system in it. and the flowmaster system i bought i didnt like the design of it when i got it so i cut into the set up for it to run different.

    I am thinking about running a JBA exhaust
