Hey guys, from what I have read, most people like magnaflow better than flowmaster, but I have also heard magnaflow has a hollow tone on a v6. What do you guys with a v6 out there recommend? Magnaflow or Flowmaster?

 

definately search in the v6 section-also visit v6f150.com. the guys on that site use magnaflow or imco extreme mufflers. most people think flowmaster loose low end torque which our v6's dont need any of that

 

what size mufflers are we comparing? is bigger a better power maker? what about inlet/outlet sizes?

 

i will be probably be buying a magnaflow muffler pretty soon
i think im gonna get one of the 5x11, 18 inch long ones
theres a site justmagnaflow.com or sumthin and i can get it for 50 bucks w/ free shippin!

 

anyone here know about the imco on a v6, i have never heard it before

 

go to v6f150.com and search for it..theres a bunch of guys on that site with them

 

I have a si/do cherry bomb extreme (aka imco). I like it and think it sounds good for a v6. My old setup was a si/do 50 series flowmaster. It was ok but pretty quiet. If i was you my choice would either be magnaflow or cherry bomb extreme depending on if you want it quite or louder.

 

nice truck dude..i wish mine was a 4x4

 

I had a flowmaster 40 series on my 97, it sounded great actually, for a six much like an 8, si/do with exit in front of the rear tire.

 

Don't put a 40 on a V6 you will kill the bottom end after 4 exaust systems I seteled for flowmaster 50 delta series ......

 

hey clar what other mufflers did you try??

 

from the seat of the pants method, i didnt notice the loss in low end. thats because the engine had 180k on it anyways, so it wasnt in prime condition. it got BEAT, bad.

 

I am running a fake flowmaster 40 muffler on my v6. I dont notice any lower end loss. Its not that loud but it does sound better than stock. I am going to be putting a marnaflow tip on it next month. I will most likly go w/ the 3in or 3 1/2 in. tip at the stock exit location. I was told it should sound loader that way. Good luck Ben

 

i have a v6 with the rustmaster 40 i don't think ive lost any lowend power but i don't like the sound at all i've heard magnaflow is the way to go

 

I got a siso flowmaster 50. Didn't notice any loss or gain in power, but a little in the mpg's. I just did it for the flowmaster tone. Its quiet at idle, and then you start to really hear it at 2000rpm.

Ive been debating to replace it with a super 44 or a little round 12" long magnaflow muffler. It would still be siso, but I would put the tip in front of the rear tire instead of the stock location.
