I'm ditching my flowmasters this weekend, they sound awesome idling but like crap in the higher rpms but that's my opinion, but if you do go with a flowmasters look into a 40 series id stay away from the 44's.

Why not the 44's? Too loud?

I have the bullet on my 09 XLT 4.6 3V. The only thing I have noticed is the increase in noise and the looks of people faces in convertables as I drive by. lol My links in the sig have the videos.

I greatly value his opinion on this but I would like different thoughts on this.Help me out,please !
Your installer is good to trust, but modulars prefere the free flow. That is why all 09+ models all run a 2.75" exhaust with flow through mufflers.

On the inside, yes, outside, not loud at all.

If I had to suggest a Flowmaster, it would be the Org. 40. The 44 is too raspy.

I would more suggest the new Super 10 series muffler over the Super 44, and any other 2 chamber, and over the crap 10 series itself. Pretty good sounding for a Flowmaster, t-409 stainless is not bad neither. An actual good sounding Flowmaster, 6" case and available in SI/DO.
