Flowmaster 40 install

So right now i have my 99 tacoma prerunner v6 ex. ca with only a magnaflow catalytic con. and it sounds better has a nice tone, but i want to get an flowmaster 40 or 50 series muffler, now i know that its 2.25 tubing stock , i see mufflers cheap under $50 but with 2.5 tubing and with center/offset since center/center is supposed to fit real easily, . , how did you guys install your aftermarket mufflers ? Pictures? ive seen some mufflers install with center/offset somehow ,

Thanks

How much louder is the 40 over the 50 series?

 

I would think it would be a bit louder. I had a super40 last year, it was okay... I like the sound of FM, but FM mufflers have back pressure unlike the magnaflows.

 

weld it on

 

Here's my Dynomax ST. Used a center/offset and it worked out fine. Chopped off the stock exhaust pipe after the rear axle and had the old hangers welded on.

 

Nice, that is what mine looks like as well.

 

do you notice any difference with the pipe chopped?

 

Thank you i wanted to see if C/O works , i see it does, but im gonna run the stock pipe all the way , no dump

 

Nope. It makes the exhaust sound a bit louder than a side exit just because it's bouncing off the road, but that's it.

 

i was gonna get the 40 but i saw there is a Flowsound 40 series , i heard thier exactly the same , cuase flowmaster lost thier patent , for half the price i can get a flowsound , should I ?
