you can only hear the 50 when you get on it.

you can hear the 40 sometimes even when you don't smash the throttle.

i thought the 50 was too quiet

Well he requested not ear piercing loud which the 40 series line can be, so thats why I suggested 50. I would actually rather suggest the 14" body Magnaflow.

If you want a good loud deep muffler, the Super 44 is the only Flowmaster worth buying. The rest will just restrict your flow too much, Super 44 is their best flowing muffler.

Well I can almost guarantee you, due to the pressure and scavenging of an exhaust system, with the two mufflers, if not atleast both equal, the Super 44 could flow better than the 10 series.

10 Series Delta


Super 44 Series

depends on what you prefer. they'd sound pretty much the same. i like dual more because then you can have one pipe on each side of the truck and you can enjoy the exhaust while annoying the hell out of the people you pass.

Your best bet is to stay with a single exhaust, no not get a true dual system unless you want to lose performance.

If you want the look of dual outlets then get a si/do ( single in, dual out ) muffler.

All Flowmaster 10 series are Deltas. There is no non Delta 10 series by Flowmaster. Your muffler isn't a real Flowmaster I thought, I thought it was a replicated & refined 10 series.
