between the 5.0 v8 and the 4.9 i6 what is the difference in sound with an after market system like flowmaster or gibson? i have a 96 150 w/ the i6 and i'm debating on if i want to go full blown for sound or if its going to sound like crap just keep it stock

thanks for the help

 

i have a straight pipe after my cat and resonator. not too loud but has a distinst sound. not really raspy but kinda deep, oh, and stupid people think its a v8 still. im looking to upgrade to a high flow cat and a flowmaster.

 

i have flowmaster on my I6 it sounds great, easily fools people into thinking its a v8

 

Thats what i want to do... fool the stupid people

Which flowmaster?





also is it worth it to get the whole system or just a muffler, could i just get a high flow cat with a flowmaster and just clamp it strait on to the existing piping? i could care less about the look of it coming out (ill just get a big *** chrome tip )

 

I had a Flowmaster cat back kit on my '92 I6(designed to fit all engines for that truck, 3 inch pipe) and it made a decent differance in performance(along with an aftermarket coil and wires, and K&N Filtercharger kit for the same engine) and it did fool a few people with the sound. I never got around to replacing the cat though. Didnt matter, it sounded good.

 

I need a new muffler on my 92 I6 so i was thinking of going with dual exhaust too it has a decent sound with the holes in the muffler lol but it probably hurting performace with the bad muffler.

 

On mine there is no cats and i have a flow master 40 series with duals. It sounds like a v8 idling but while driving it has a nice deep tone to it.

Why are you resurrecting it?
