Flow Master Drone Sound Deaf
I have a 2006 XLT 4.6 F150 Patriots addition which came with a cat back Borla dual exhaust.
The muffler inlet and outlets were shot so I just had them throw on a Flowmaster the 40 series.
I had those on my 5.0. WOW!!! My ears are already shot.
I liked the Borla that was on there before. It sounded good under excelleration but then was quiet at no load.
Looking for a muffler that is similiar or which borla one to buy
Thanks

…. But first clamp about 10-12 pounds of steel to the pipe about halfway between the new muffler and the OEM Y-pipe. To just try it, use a couple hose clamps with weight of scrap. If it works for you, you can then make a "better" setup. The weight will not change sound or tone or restriction, but will dampen drone vibrations.
My weights are salvaged from a Crown Vic system, couple tubes filled with concrete or sand & sealed. Sure cured my drone issue but good, kills the vibrations with out changing sound at all.

Mine too, I just used the straight out back tip option. After adding a 28" long 3" core SS glasspack that mellowed the tone, I still had bad droning. I tried angle tips out the rear corners, tried baffles, etc, but when I added the weight, that was the huge drone killer with no other changes, it purrs. The system I used to replace what was rusting was a Legato all SS 3" SI/2.5" DO with a 14" long chambered muffler, it's like the FM American Thunder, but cheaper.
