Flowmaster 50 question

Is the magnaflow more restrictive than the stock muffler?

 

Yes that was stated earlier in this thread!

 

It was stated that the Flowmaster was more restrictive than stock. No specific mention of the magnaflow vs. the stock muffler. I had a magnaflow on my '07 V6 w/ auto and the mileage figures improved slightly with that muffler.

 

It would seem that the main reason to swap muffs would be to get a different sound? A huge increase in mileage probably not going to happen.

 

Exactly, I'm not trying to gain any power or mileage, I just want to get a deeper sound from the exhaust.

 

Alright, I got it installed this afternoon for $130 (muffler + labor), and only took about 30 minutes. It sounds excellent when the truck starts up and when it's accelerating in first gear. Unfortunately that's all I heard from the outside, my friend is going to drive it around so I can hear it from the outside.

Inside the truck the muffle does sound a tad ricey at certain RPM's, but hopefully that is just on the inside. I'll post up a video shortly.

 

shoulda went with a magnaflow

 

I heard the Magnaflow was worse.

 

nooope.. flowmaster is known to be ricey in high rpm... i had the 40 series on my truck with a built v6 and headers... hated it... went spintech and love them... however the next ones i do on my next race truck will be magnaflow race series.... motherfuckers are meannnn.

 

I think it sounds great at low RPM's, but yeah, high RPM's aren't exactly what I had in mind. My next exhaust will be a cat back.

 

i've got the 50 series on mine, basically i had drug the factory barrel on the rocks so i figured it was time to get a new "smaller" one. i decided on the 50 series and was a bit worried that it would be either to loud or to ricey... after having it on the truck for awhile now i can say that i am perfectly happy with it, it gives the truck some tone without being to loud... and you wont mistake it for a honda either.

 

spintech... deeppp and throaty
