Stock muffler to Flowmaster muffler questions
#11
I can't vouch for a difference from stock, as I bought my truck with straight pipes. I will say though that with the Magnaflow it is much softer at idle, but still makes a bit of noise when I stand on it. I have a big body one though, so it will be much softer than a smaller bodied version. Looking forward to seeing how your setup turns out! Should look and sound good.

My muffler did not gain any power on the dyno but sounds great. I used the stock 2.75 exhaust tail pipe and just filled the gap w the welder. I like the stock tail pipe ( no awful chrome tip ) look. If u find a three inch stock looking exhaust tail pipe. Please pm me where u found it.
Remeher u will need a straight section of 3 inch to make up for the length difference between a short aftermarket muffler and the long stock one

Thanks for the 3 in straight section pointer.

I will have pics up when I decide what to go with.

Placed an online order yesterday for:
- Super 40 series flowmaster that is 19" inches in length, and 3" inch inlet/outlet.
- 3A Racing/Universal wire hanger
- 3A Racing/2 1/2 in. i.d. x 12 in. length turndown pipe
- 3A Racing/Stainless steel exhaust clamp
Does that sound like all the parts needed for a stock to performance upgrade switch?

If your dead set on running flowcrapper most muffler shops will carry this. Don't know if your trying to put it on yourself but I would just go to a shop cut out factory muff and have them weld in new one and they can make a turn down pipe. It's just a piece of pipe with an angle cut unless you going out the back they could do that to. The catback systems are a rip off all you need is a muffler and they will do the rest. HTH

I plan on taking it to a shop for them to put it in.
Any idea roughly, how much for a shop to install?

Just an update -
I had my 40 series flowmaster installed at a muffler man. It cost me $50 for labor, and an additional $25 for a stainless steel turn down pipe that they welded on.
I am satisfied with the increased sound. It sounds mean!!
Thank you everyone who had replied to my original post! (:
