Flowmaster Super 40 "Drone"
Not dumb, my setup will be stainless x, and stainless mufflers, with stainless tips, and crush bent aluminized tubing. No one in my area does stainless or mandrel bends so I'm S.O.L. But no hard feelings, I was just kidding. The bullet is a small resonator type muffler. Summit sells them for like $41, but a complete swap would prob. be the best thing for ya. It is an expensive fix, but well worth it, performancepeddler.com has the best deal on mufflers, and they offer a discount for members I believe.

I have one on my '01 with side exits and it's great, i'd swap for a 50 series if I was BIGSUR

It depends, if the dealer can do an even swap for a Super 50, I may do that for now. Pocket is starting to get dry. Just spent $500+ on an aftermarket sound system as well. I've only had the truck for 2 weeks.

That will definitely be my first choice, if possible. With the Super 50, as far as you know, is the drone eliminated or just not as noticeable?

We have a classifieds. But i'm suprised once again that no one has offered to buy your flow, but good luck, youtube the flow 50 series and see what comes up.
If I decide to go Magnaflow, I will look into the classifieds.
Thanks to everyone for their input. Very much appreciated. I love these darn forums.

Hey guys. I'm noticing something crazy since my FM Super40 Install. Before the install, my computer-estimated mpg was very stable with minimal changes, unless going b/w highway and city.
Now, if I'm sitting at a stop seeing 14.5 mpg, get on it until at about 50 mph, my economy will drop to about 13.9. Once I let off the accelerator, it starts slowly creeping back up.
Anybody out there know if this is typical???
