    As the title says, I just got my first job out of college and want to treat myself to a new muffler. I am trying to decide between either the Flowmaster 40 series or the Wicked Flow exhaust.

    I want something that will give the V6 the best growl I can get out of it.

    I want to hear y'all's 2 cents...

    Edit: Sorry to be that guy, but I am torn and new to the whole mod thing...

    I have a Wicked flow in with TRD piping and it sounds great. A nice subtle rumble at idle and a pretty growl when you give it some gas. It doesn't sound ricey at all. I was in your situation a few months ago, and decided on the WF over flowmaster, as after some research the WF seems to be of better build quality product. I couldn't be happier with it.

    Thanks for all the help guys. Never really looked at Dynomax. Any suggestions on which one would work well?

    It sounds SOOO good. Who knew a V6 would pop. It very deep and then has a throaty idle.
