At one time someone put a message about one type of Flow was a good sound, bot others were very bad. I like the Bassani sound but that is a little high. Also another reason is I need to spend my Summit gift card of $300 they dont have bassani. Most people say the Borla is just to soft, is it?

 

YES!

Flowmasters sound good, but it's just a matter of what you like.

I have heard others. . .but none sound as good to me as a dual-in, dual-out 40 series deltaflow Flowmaster.

Especially at part-throttle, low-boost levels.

Hope this helps you.


Later,

 

NO!!!! I've heard that you loose power by using there muffler go to a Bassani or to 2 single mufflers!!
Just my .02 cents worth!

 

No. . .I GAINED a DYNO-PROVEN 12 (max 15) hp and about 18 lb/ft of torque across the board.

Use the dual-in dual-out just like the factory muffler, and you will see GAINS.

People saw power losses when they ran two single mufflers with no crossover. But they would have seen losses with ANY muffler. . .not just flowmaster.


Later,

 

no don't get them. flowmasters don't flow well at all. people have had problems with them were they had so much back pressure the mufflers blew of while driving!!! go with a muffler that has a straight threw design not chambered

 

I agree with the NO
If you don't want to loose power go Magnaflow or Bassaini. I say this even though Bassani has treated me like crap, there system does sounds sweet.

 

That's Funny.

All I've ever heard about Flowmasters is that they don't flow well.

But I have YET to put them on a vehicle and not pick up more HP and Torque than I could with ANY of these other 'high-flowing' mufflers. Bassani and Borla have alot of people snowed.

A 'small' amount of back pressure helps equalize the cylinder bank pressures, right?


Hmmm.

 

I've got a Borla and like the sound. If I had it to do over though, I think I would try dual magnapacks w/ an x-pipe. Wake up the neighbors!

 

I just found the muffler set up for cat back for my L.

Great sound, improve low end torque, used by track racers over any other brand. Just My $.02

 

So what is the bottom line with flow master.. (that is what i am going to get) dual in dual out..... or 2 singles??? and what about the X pipe....is that not under the truck already.. i havent looked...and what is the advantage of the x pipe??

 

i have x pipe and 2 2chamber flowmaster and i am very pleased with the sound and power so i say go with flows.

 

what does the x pipe do?

 

2002blue,

because of the limited space, I would do the two-in and two-out. If you do singles, room becomes a problem. There is no x-pipe on our stockers. If you run two single pipes, through indivdual mufflers, at times it will sound like two four bangers with fart pipes fighting for a place in your ear. the x-pipe balances the exhaust pulse at low end keeping some back pressure (necessary for low end torque) and as the rpms go up, it will help the exhaust pulses scavenge each other thus decreasing the amount of back pressure. A little confusing, but it works real well or JDM and the others would not offer them for our vehicles.
Whew Long sorry

 

Since the Flowmasters ARE more restrictive, I wonder if stepping the pipes up, say 1/4 inch or so, would help off-set any losses? For those that really prefer the sound of the big "F", this could be an option.

 

so if i have a single flowmaster muffler.. 40 series.. do i need an x pipe?
