    The best flowmaster is the one you don't get. Flowmaster sucks

    haha it sounded good. But i wouldnt dump it. It sounded good, but abnoxious on the freeway.
    I decided that i didnt want a growl to the truck, so i went to a stock replacement. (walker quiet flow 28")

    Yea if i had found it before i had purchased my full exhaust, i would got a 3''-3.5'' one for my supra and kept the stock exhaust and just welded this in place of my cat. There would be like NO back pressure which is good for trubo spool. I can't imagine how loud one of these things is in person lol Seen some vids but there just vids..

    ...too much shit to list.
    Chokemaster's in general suck. The 40 and 44 are ear bleeding in terms of cab resonation. The 50 (3 chamber) is liveable from a sound perspective, but you'll still lose 2-3 hp like all flowmasters. Upgrades are supposed to be...well...upgrades, not downgrades.

    My vote is also for Magnaflow.

    i got the 44 series on mine and i think it sounds pretty tough. i had the 40 series on my other truck and it was much louder in the cab. The 44 is a little deeper tone and a little quieter so i like it better
