Hey guys, I did a search, and most of the flowmaster talk on here is 40's and 44s. I'm looking to just replace my muffler to give the truck a little more.... balls. and I don't mean seat of the pants hp balls, I mean to make it not sound like a mini van under acceleration ;-) Does anyone have flowmaster 50, 60, or 70s on their truck? I'm looking for a slight rumble at idle, a little more sound on acceleration, with as little drone as possible. I don't want loud. just would like to change the tone a bit. Sound clips would be great, but just looking at general advice, too. TIA

I had a 70 series on my old black truck and loved it. Not loud at all but a good rumble.

But, for your listening pleasure, check out this link: http://www.355nation.net/forum/engi...ooking-exhaust-your-i4-i5-v8-listen-here.html

wow, thanks! i guess that's what i get for being too specific in my searches.

I am really liking the way the 70 sounds. did it drone much inside the cab?

nope... had a hell of a bass note at low RPMs(not in a bad way), but other than that it was pretty quiet. Honestly, I felt that it sounded like what a truck should. My tires sang louder than the exhaust.

That's exactly what I want. a little grumble, and enough of a difference to just make the truck sound a little more truck-ish

i believe in my research I did find that our stock exhaust is 2.5" center in, 2.5" offset out.... is that right?

pretty sure it is offset though not positive off the top of my head. The pipes are 2.5 though.

Both inlet and outlet are offset from factory I'm pretty sure

I know this thread is a few months old so please forgive me for digging up a dinosaur.

Would swapping stock out for a Flowmaster 70 be something the average joe with average tools could do or does it require cutting, welding, etc?

a shop shouldn't charge more than $100 if you provide the muffler...
welding is recomended, clamps don't handle the vibration and temp changes well...
I wouldn't cheap out on exhaust.

and yeah cut old one back and front put new one, weld and done

^^^Yes^^^

Find a local exhaust shop and have them fab-up your exhaust. I bought a Gibson dual kit and HATE the clamps. They (1) suck @$$, (2) rust, (3) come loose and (4) SUCK! I'm getting mine welded this next weekend and can let you know how much is costs....
