welcome to the club.
always been a fan of the flowmasters. several different options to go with from mild to loud and obnoxious. i run the 40 series on mine.

Death2man · 09-11-2008, 10:46 AM

do you know if there is a website anywhere that has sounds of the exhaust? or is every truck different ?

with the 40 series did you also notice a difference in power and mpg ?

bradrhale · 09-11-2008, 10:55 AM

you might notice a small differance in power. dont think you will notice much in fuel economy. every truck is going to sound a little different due to engine size and make. might check with the flowmaster site. somewhere on this site, someone posted theirs from a phone or video camera.

Wlecome officially to the site.... I would not have more to offer then brad here in regards to exhaust... but I am anxious to hear what you go with.

I am a fan of flowmasters my self and have had them installed on my last two trucks (both v-8 dodges) and loved them. Great sound as you get up to speed or when you kick her down. But mellow and hardly a sound in the cab at highway cruising speed. I will have dual put on Fred (78' C-10) as soon as I can have it done. But this time I am looking for something with a bit more rumble to it. I want it to rumble when I drive and talk out loud when I stop it or kick him down. I am looking into Hookers as well as Flowmaster this time. Also looking to see what else there is, but I think it will be Flowmaster, Hooker, and a dang ol set of glass packs even.

i really think youd be happy with the flowmasters. i can hear the radio and CB just fine in mine cruisin down the road but when i open her up, its on from there.

Death2man · 09-12-2008, 09:50 AM
