    My friend has a magnaflow on his 2.7. Doesn't sound that bad really, but a little more on the ricey side.

    I would say flowmaster over magnaflow, but thats just me. But I haven't heard any of the other exhaust systems out there.

    i have a flowmaster standard 40 on my 4 banger and it really sounds nice, not ricey at all and is surprisingly deep. It is a little on the loud side tho and does resonate within the truck between 2-3k rpm but i like it. I would not go with a magnaflow b/c they do sound rather ricey on the 4 cyl but if your not looking for a very loud one then i'd go with the flowmaster 50 delta flow, good sound but not too loud

    So what is the difference between the Flowmaster 40 standard (original) and the flowmaster super 40, as fair as performance and sound go.

    well to be honest with you, flowmasters dont yield hardly any performance gain. in fact they can cause you to lose some power.

    the standard 40 doesn't have the "delta flow" technology which means it resonates in the interior more and really doesn't provide much of a performance gain. I maybe got a horsepower of 2 from it but i doubt it. it did help my mpg go up a little bit (.5 mpg) just cuz it's less retricted air flow but i just like the sound more than anything. The super 40 does have the delta flow and probably would give you a more noticeable gain in performance but i'm just speculating...

    Get a K&N air intake or just an air intake in general, worth the money. Mine gave me 2 extra mpg and a def increase in throttle response in performance can't go wrong

    well a less expensive mod for the 2.7 concerning the air intake is to get a high flow air filter. AFE pro dry S is a good one. and just drop that n and remove the secondary charcoal air filter. its cheaper and it provides a more usefull appllication to save gas as well as provide bettter throttle response. im not saying that a CAI doesnt give you gains. it does but not at the speeds typical to regualar highway usage.

    According to chris4x4 and a couple of other guys on here the 2.7 intake is just like an aftermarket CAI. I removed my secondary and put in the AFE Pro dry and had the same numbers as a CAI without the expense. I have also heard that by putting the Flowmaster Super 40 and a Doug Thorley header on it is about the best thing that you can do. For what its worth.
