has anyone installed a 40 series flowmaster on their v6??? was it easy and how did it sound (even in higher rpm's)??

thanx

 

I'm not 100% sure on this (pretty sure though) that the 40 series is more for 5.0 Mustangs. Most of the guys here that install Flowmaster exhausts go with either the 80 series or the American Thunder. IMO, with a bigger I-pipe both will sound very good. I heard a Camaro yesterday with a 3" pipe and a 80 series...sounded MEAN!


Good luck deciding!

 

in that case...does anyone know which sys of american thunder or flowmaster would sound the best with not too much low end torque loss

 

Flowmaster makes a new system for the 3.8s with a resonator on the I pipe. I think the part number is 17358.

 

wuts the resonator do for it...how will it sound?

 

if anyone knows or has done this on their 3.8, can i have ur IM sn cuz i need to talk to someone 1 on 1

thanx

 

I heard it takes away alot of the rattle you hear at high rpms, but it also takes away some of that deep idle and rumble we all like. I personally have 3" catco highflow cat, 3" S pipe with a 3" flowmaster catback WITHOUT the resonator and I still think it sounds damn good for a V6. However, mine does rattle a bit up high, but it's not a hondaish type rattle.

 

my brother has a 40 delta flow on his 2.8 s-10, and it sounds sooooo much better than the 80 on my car

 

how was the power gain after he installed it??? and how hard was it for him to install?

 

You'll maybe see 10 hp from a catback for a V6.

 

wut 40 delta series system do u recomend for the 3.8? and is the assembly and installation easy (can i do it in my backyard)??

 

I don't recommend the 40 series. Get the 80 series american thunder catback. It sounds alot better.

 

i heard something like you have to drop part of the rear axle though for the flowmasters is that true? and hows the power gain on the flow master 80 series?? if i get the 3'' pipes on the 80 series am i gonna lose alot of low end torque?

 

That's the one I had on my car. Today, I put on the B&B catback and to be honest they sound close. B&B sounds better, but both are quiet, just a tad louder than stock.

Only problem with the delta was at around 2k rpm the gurgle smoothed out and it sounded too high pitched, where as the B&B the gurgle stays and it is a little deeper. I've heard people put down the NOn delta, but the Delta sounds pretty good.

I can't comment on the AT or 80 series, having not heard them in real life.

 

ok... which sounds better and gives the best power gain: edlebrock, dynomax, B&B, or Borla???
