looking for a better tone (40 series)

RE: looking for a better tone (40 series)
as our fearless mod says, that the muffler is too far back in the exhaust system to increase flow, hence, no change in your mpg, alls youll get is sound.

I dont like flowcrappers, had em on high hp cars and glasspacks have performeed better, with the delta flow you will get a whistle for a while till you "break" it in. the 40 series id only use on a muscle car or at the track, they are loud.
The best ive heard for full systems are dynomax and magnaflows, but if you dont want a muffler put a turn down on the intermediate pipe instead, it actually is the best sound you will get out of the 4.3 and its quieter then those junk flowmasters.

my opinions since ive owned that parts before, was never directed at you at all. I did use them on a muscle car for track purposes, got rid of em after the first weekend is all. They actually do have to do with flow, talk to f body guys that are serious about the performance and dynotune.
Its all first hand experience with the stuff, I wouldnt comment otherwise.
I wish I could give good reviews on all the parts ive used over the years, it just isnt going to happen with em all. Everyone has their own opinions on things both good and bad.

In the end, it's up to you and what you like. If you like the sound of a Flowmaster 40, then get it.
Honestly, I have Dynomax mufflers (not glasspacks) on my Chevelle and I LOVE the tone! I had glasspacks before the regular mufflers and I don't feel that the mufflers hurt performance one bit. One thing is for sure, the exhaust sounds MUCH better with the mufflers than with the glasspacks.
But then again, I don't like to be obnoxious. The Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers are the right kind of tone for me and not the least bit raspy like glasspacks (to me). When it comes time to do the exhaust on my Bravada (sometime soon), I will most likely go with a Dynomax muffler, just cutting out the stock muffler and splicing in the replacement.
I have also heard a 4.3L (in a fullsize truck) with a 40 series and I do think it sounded nice, but a bit too loud for me.
So to reiterate, it's your choice man. No one can tell you how you'll like it... They can only speak for themselves.

HERE YA GO!!!! I did a little bit of poking around and found a sound clip of an s-10 pickup 4.3L with the dynomax super turbo cat-back system on it.....
