HedSwim Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 (edited) Alright. I guess I'll prepare for the inevitable flames which will head my way... I like the sound of Flowmaster 40's. I currently have dual 40's on my truck, side exit before the rear wheel. Loud. VERY loud. Doesn't mean I don't love it. Problem is of course, it is resonant. My wife can't stand the level of sound coming from the truck or the in cab resonance. Question I've got here: Is there anything I can do to lower the noise level and resonance a little? Would an X-Pipe help? Some other kind of resonators? Should I just look at Super 40's? Or am I really stuck with loud if I want duals and the flow 40 sound? I do plan to add pacesetters and highflow cats sometime in the next year... is there some other dual setup which will give me a sick grumbly sportscar like sound? I want to hear the engine audibly at all times, not just WOT. I just don't want it screaming at all times...

WI_Dave Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I think Holty did his and said he didn't have much in cab noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006_superado Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 well i just got itand inside it sounds noticeable from idle to muscular and throthy at wot as far as outside goe's.... saying it's louder then the single deltaflow 40 i had on my last truck would be a huge understatement (tee hee) it now sounds like a nascar, to me anyway.. MuHuHahaha and i have not noticed any drone, buzz, or ressonance of any kind yet! i have'nt took it on a freeway yet but when i do i'll let everyone know... also how do i post an audio clip? or video with sound?... someone tell me how and i'll do it... good luck with yours i think you will love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holty Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 i have long tubes, high flow cats, and dual flomaster 40 series mufflers exiting in front of rear tire passenger side. my truck is LOUD. but i get no drone or resonance. the trick is to have the mufflers "offset" from each other. let me find a pic of what i mean and i'll post it. this is how the flowmaster rep i spoke to up at summit racing said to do it. it really works too.

sswolfpac Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 i run 40's flowmasters, its not that bad in the cab, for all you header guys, is it louder with headers than without, and by the way while we are on the topic, is it better to run the exhaust out the side or straight out the back i run straight out the back?
