I have been trying to research exhaust systems for the past 3 weeks. I have it narrowed down to the flowmaster force 2 with 3" tips and a 50 series muffler. My question is this, if i wanted a 40 series muffler with this, how do i get it with the system? Also, what is the difference between the 40 and the 50? And if i put a Volant cold air intake on my truck, will that help? Please help!

 

Alright, here is what i have found. Flowmaster force 2 with 50 series muffler, 3" tips with dual side exhausts. Is there any performance difference between side exhaust compared to rear exit? Found a website that has free shipping for the exhaust and the cold air intake that i am going to order. The exhaust is $349.12, and the K & N air intake is $230.95. Is this good pricing on these? I was just looking for help from some of you guys that are experienced with this truck stuff, i am new to this so i definitely would love some help, thanks!

 

I have been researching exhaust as well. From what i have found, Magnaflow makes about the best power overall. From what i have read, most other systems lose some low-end torque, and with a heavy vehicle, i really don't want to lose any low-end grunt. Also, the Magnaflow has a real nice mellow tone when cruising. I had a Borla exhaust on my 2000 T/A, and it was real loud after awhile. Also, an intake is a good idea, i have an Air Raid on mine, it did wake it up on the low end a little and pretty good on the top end as well. Gotta get more air in and out to make a bigger difference. I am just waiting to see what Santa brings me (probably nothing)..

It will be Magnaflow for me, si/do with 3" tips..

 

If you do a search here you'll find that most like the Magnaflow that Mike sells. It's on his website for around $495. All the treads I've read from those who have it love the sound and the power. This is a SI/SO which Mike says makes more over all power on the low end and high end than the SI/DO.

I have the K&N cool kit on my truck. I got it at Advance Auto Parts for $125. I'm happy with it.

Happy Trucking and Merry Xmas

 

I found another website that has the Flowmaster force 2 dual rear exit, with 50 series muffler for $391.01. That includes shipping, its on justflowmaster.com

 

I am going with the Flowmaster due to cost right now.

 

I just ordered the magnaflow 15821 for $350 with free shipping from performance peddler.

 

Does anyone know the size of the 15821 muffler or product number?

 

Basically, i wanted to have dual exhaust on my truck. Thats the reason i am going with the exhaust system and not just the muffler.

 

I imagine that it is 3" in and out on the muffler. The whole system is 3".

 

take it to a muffler shop get them to run the pipe and use a flowmaster super 40 sounds awesome

 

I just ordered a Flowmaster Force 2 exhaust system with a 50 series performance muffler, with dual rear exit. Also i am in the process of ordering an Airraid cold air intake, for about $233.00

 

i heard its better to have 3inch ran from just before cat back rather then the stock 2 1/4? or 2.5 not sure is this tru

 

Just received my Flowmaster exhaust, having it installed later! Thank God!!!

 

The pipes coming from each cat are 2.5inch. That's why I installed a flowmaster y-pipe which is dual 2.5 in and single 3inch out. That's probably the best combination. SI/SO will flow better than SI/DO because most SI/SO mufflers are a straight through design. That being said, a lot of the otherwise obnoxiously loud flowmaster mufflers won't be that loud on these trucks because the 4 cats absorb a lot of noise.
