flowmaster?????

what is the loudest series that flowmaster makes. 80, 40, 50. iv been searching around but they dont specify loudness. they say the 40 series is "The Most Aggressive, Deepest Toned Street And Strip Muffler By Flowmaster, It Offers Maximum Performance, An Improved Flow Path Radius, And Generates More Torque And Power Than Any Other 40 Series Muffler" that quote was off a web site i was at earlyer.

all i need to know is what is the loudest model that is a direct fit.

Re: flowmaster?????

Loudest Flowmaster would be the Outlaw series..Single Chamber. But I doubt there is a single in/dual out, direct fit one.

44 Series would be the 2-chamber Flowmaster & there is a direct fit one of those.

Search Summit or Jegs.

Re: flowmaster?????

ok i just removed my flowmaster in favor of duals.. but if you want noise then this is what you want.. 80 series 2 chamber flowmaster, then gut the cat... and put 3 inch tips on the end.. there is in 80 series that flowmaster makes that like the delta flow which is much much quieter... or just do this to your car... http://s76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...t=100_0040.flv

Re: flowmaster?????

Just put in the Flowmaster 3" system with 80 series and stainless tips and it does have a little rumble but really not anything loud but then again I've got a stock manifold and y-pipe for now, well whatever system you go with what about doing a cutout also, that would wake up the neighbors, lol. Later.

you are looking at it incorrectly, on the side with the two the top one is the inlet, the bottom the outlet, the other side is another outlet.

Re: flowmaster?????

Nope, he's right. That is not a crossflow muffler, but a dual outlet on the same side muffler.

Re: flowmaster?????

Maybe u can just hook up a resonator or bullet muffler instead of a crossflow and just exit to a single tip. Later.

Re: flowmaster?????

If you just want it really loud, then don't run a muffler at all. That would be loud, or better yet, open headers. Probably still wouldn't be as loud as most of the v-twin bikes around my area, but I'm sure it would still get you a ticket. That's another thing, are the police picky about noise in your area? Where I live it seems that if they can hear your exhaust they bug you all the time.

Have you heard a built small block with open long tube headers? I had a cammed 350 with 1 3/8 primary 3 inch outlet hookers that was easily louder than any bike I've ever heard.. anything above idle was unbearably loud.. you could litterly hear it over half a mile away.. I don't understand why anybody would actually want that though..

Re: flowmaster?????

Yeah, I wasn't actually being serious. I had built a 350 and started it up with only my shorty headers because I didn't have exhaust for it, but I never actually drove it that way. It was a couple years ago so I'm sure it was louder than I remember. The point I was getting to was that some people like insanely loud engines.

Re: flowmaster?????

When I orginally bought my camaro it dumped out at the cat and the cat was gutted. It was loud and I loved it but I never drove it that way because I cannot afford the ticket. I bought the American Thunder System and it sounds really good.
