I'm not quite sure... however, I asked them, and they doubt there will be any difference because the muffler is only 3/4 the size of the stock golf bag muffler. We are thinking no, because the Flowmaster 50 Series SUV/Truck is considered a direct replacement for the stock from what I've read around.

The regular 50 series (non-suv/truck) is much smaller, but only slightly larger than the 40 series. The 50 series SUV is about 2x the size of the regular Flowmaster 50 series. If you put them side to side, you will see how big it is.

Why did I choose a big muffler? I didn't want too much noise. I wanted the grunt, but I didn't want to be overwhelming. I mean you can hear it, but it sounds 50x louder than stock. Comparing it to a 40 series, you can compare my 50 series SUV of that 40 series being 50x louder than the 50 series SUV and 100x louder than stock. The Super 44 for example would be 100x louder than the 50 series SUV, 150x louder than the 40 series, and 200x louder than stock. If you get my point.

he probably will say he didnt notice any, which is just because its his project that he wants to defend.

But like i said earlier he will have NO scavanging affect. What he calls the sound ECHOING in the exhaust is gonna hurt his performance. And with two 3" stacks he's gonna end up with a burnt cylinder or two.

It doesnt look bad, i perfer the stack to be straight not curved back.

I perfer a stack to be on 2500 F250, A one ton or bigger.

If the truck has a deisel it would look great with black smoke pouring out of it

At the end I'm gonna post some funnies while playing around poking fun at my truck at the shop while playing with the stacks...

Just when you think my truck is looking bad... well, you ain't seen nothin' yet...

It is probably the best theft deterrent available on the market. No one will go near it, park near it, or even to pretend to even want to look at it. So hopefully, when I'm talking to someone out in the parking lot, I will say, "Do you like my truck?" They will respond, "Wait, I gotta run to the bathroom to puke!!!!"

So just by looking at my truck will get your dizzy enough to heave a good one... be sure NOT to eat before looking at or going near my truck or people will think you are bulimic.

But on a lighter note... it does look good...
