what is the loudest muffler for a 1997 4.6l v8...i currently have a flowmaster muffler that exits infront of the passenger rear tire and its really not even that noticeable...im not sure what series it is but im thinking that may be the problem...help me out!!

 

what size exits do you have? i think if you went to 4 or 5 inch tips you would get more volume - unless you did that allready

 

I ran straight pipes on mine and kept the cats on sounds good.

 

might be a delta 40, or 50 or something like that. Super 40, & original 40 are the louder Flowmasters. Running a glasspack it doesn't get any louder than that.

 

i dont know much about them, but ive heard cherry bomb mufflers are pretty loud

 

I have a IMCO (now called Cherry Bomb) Pro series under my 04. I have been told that it is just as loud as a Flowmaster orginal 40, one of my buddies told me this after his cousin had a 40 installed on his truck. He said that the sound out of mine was alittle meaner sounding than the 40, but as far as loudness, about the same.

If you want loud, get a IMCO Extreme or a Flowmaster 10 series.

 

I have a Cherry Bomb Extreme. It sounds great. I love it. I had a flowmaster 50 series and the Cherry Bomb sounds way louder and deeper and I swear there is far less drone with the new muffler. I thought i would be getting a louder tone with alot more drone but the new Cherry Bomb is awsome all around. Blowmasters suck.

I also have mine dumped after the rear axle.

Flowmaster Original 40

 

You could probably try the new Flowmasters Super 44 muffler, there louder than the flowmasters 40's

 

If you want to keep your torque - your low end power , get the magnaflow 14's or 16's . There loud and you don't loose your low end like you would with Flowmasters or CherryBombs..

CherryBombs and Thrush are the loudest I've heard.
