which flow?

i just want to replace my muffler and leave all the stock pipes, but which flowmaster should i get. Will a 40 delta flow be too loud i was leaning towards the 50 delta i want it to have a nice deep rumble and when i step on it i want it to scream but not so loud that i wake up the neighborhood when i am just accelerating away.

IMHO, the 40 is not too loud, i do have it hooked with 3".. and i have the 4.9, it does sound very good idiling.. but about first through second picking up speed sounds v6 ey.. but it would sound really good on yours

Go with the 40 series. They aren't too loud if you have catalatic converters on your truck.

Well, i lost a little bottom end, and i don't mean a tiny little, just, a little.. As for top, i can drop the hammer in fourth and catch up to some descent 2 door 4 and 6 cylinder half-*** sports cars...for some reason, at around 70 MPH, i put my foot on my clutch and there's a vibration? Is it because of my kinda rough tread?

hmm..so you lost some low end...probly from the 3in pipe..2 1/2 would probly be safer. After I get some new tires and my stereo hooked up(next paycheck) a flow master will be my next mod. Probly the 40 with a 2 1/2 pipe.

As far as your clutch prob...How many miles on the truck and when was the clutch last replaced..how many miles ago?

Well at 143,000 miles it would have had to been replaced atleast once...might be time for a new one. Mine went at about 90,000.

i put my foot on my clutch and there's a vibration?

Are you actualy pushing in the clutch or just putting your foot on it? If so it's probly just the tires if they are beefy. If I remember I'll do it later when I'm driving..my tires are prety beefy.

Like, barly put ur foot on it, with the absolute smallest of looseness, you'll see, just sit ur foot on it, going 60MPH or higher might i remind u, DON'T PUSH! just like a LITTLE slack in it, not pushing it in
