Flowmaster 10 series question

Right now I have 40 series SIDO, but I have a 10 series muffler sitting in my room and I'm afraid of the low end loss it might cause. Will I lose any more power on the low end than I did with the 40's? I still have my two cats on also. Thanks for the help guys.

you might gain some switching from a single in dual out to a single in single out

Other than a noticeable difference in sound output, you won't notice any kind of performance difference.

There will be a very very moderate loss due to tail pipes mounted to a Y pipe, but nothing noticeable unless you towing 5,000lbs+.

Dumb question here. Which is louder? the 40 or 10? or if not louder what's the sound difference?

10 series is louder due to its single chamber design in a 6.75" case. 40 has a 5x8x13 case in a 2 chamber format, original 40s are 4x9.75x13.

Not a dumb question. 10 series is 1 chamber instead of 2 or 3. It's virtually the same sound but a tad quieter than no muffler.

Ah that's interesting, guess it's the way it's designed and echoes off and what not

Yeah single chamber mufflers are louder than most straights. Straights rasp much more though, but the idle of a single chamber is much better than a straight systems is.
