If you want it deeper and louder dump it out the the back of the muffler. I have a 30 series dumped and it sounds great. Dumping it makes it about a quarter to a third louder.
Flowmaster would not have the same reputation as they have always had if there products were junk.

Yeah, sound doesn't make power, but it makes it cool. The truck has to sound right first, make power second.

I can say I love the sound of my true dual 40 series set up I have. I could not say if I lost power or gained power but I ran a 13.87 with my mods through the flowmasters.

I baselined my truck last week with no mods, ran it 3 times. The only change I have made so far is the muff, and I am going to take it to the track this week and see what happens. I figure no gain, but if I do great. But now that the muff is on, I am glad I went with the Flow, as to me it is the best sounding muff out there. My truck is VERY consistent at the track, so I will be able to tell if I pick up the slighest bit. Temp will be alot hotter this week as opposed to when I went to the track last week, so i will have to account for that, but i will post my results as soon as I have them.


Plus, I need to get 50 posts so I can get on the Classified section

Why make the noise if you can't back it up? I personally got tired of the loud ( obnoxious) flowmaster sound, but to each his own.

Back what up? I am trying to make this truck fun for me, not to compete in. I have raced and competed in Fun Ford Weekend since '92 ( I held the Street Stock ET and MPH record in '92 and '93) and stepped up to Outlaw in 96. I have my race car for the "backing it up" and my street car as well. This is my daily driver that just needs a little more personality, a little personal touch, and the Flowmaster adds to it.

Man, getting closer to 50 posts!!!!!!

Well first of all, congrats on the flowmaster. I do love the way they sound, although I would have gone 40 series. Anyways, the flowmaster will be better than stock as far as performance. I was just disappointed with it going from magnaflow to flowmaster.

Sorry I didn't get up there at BW3's Friday night, had something come up.

No prob. Maybe next time. I am looking at put the '02 Z06 cam in next. I know that the custom cams will eeek out that extra power, but I am not looking for that. I amjust looking to have some fun with this truck, and for the money, it seems the Z06 is the way to go. There is also a member on here that wants $100 for it, so I sent him an email and we will see if it goes through.
