My exhuast isn't finished but I've got flowtech headers into dual Super 44's. Super 44's aren't as raspy sounding as 40's and I have ZERO drone, trick to escaping drone is getting your mufflers as far from your cab as possible. I had Cherrybomb turbos directly underneath my cab before this setup and not only did they sound like **** but they droned under load from idle all the way up to 1500 rpm.

I wonder if they make one for a crew cab long box

My alarm clock is a rumbling v-8 just not a real one haha :sad:

It's a universal kit, you cut it down to fit the shorter trucks. Even if it's not long enough, you would just need a couple extension pipes from the local parts store.

Yeah, isn't that nice! My closest neighbor is my dad and he doesn't care how much noise I make.

I just put 2 1/2" tube from manifold back to two 40 series Flowmasters. Then 2 1/2" out of the mufflers with the tail pipes coming out at the rear corners of the bed.

Sounds good to Me!!!!!

A couple of 11366's should fit the bill then. I think the Flowmaster Big block series are nice, compaired to the louder ones that have that "pipey" noise.
Personally, the only flowmaster I would use is the 70 series, because it is quiet, and has better flow than a Factory muffler. But for performance, you cant beat a straight through muffler.

Could you give me a few examples of straight through mufflers? Do they reduce less decibels in sound, than normal mufflers?

On my truck I have long tube headers, and dual flowmaster super 10's, pipes turned down under the back of the cab area. Sounds good, and its loud.

EDIT: I think i figured it out, straight through mufflers are things like glasspacks and cherry bombs.

Glass packs, Borla, Magnaflow, Dyno Max ultra flo, Pypes, Smithys...I may be missing something, but thats the idea.
Staright through mufflers are of the sound absorbtion family, where Flowmaster uses reflective noise cancelling, and in their larger quiet mufflers, they have tuned Hemholz style resonator chambers.
I think the flowmaster 10s are just the splitter plate, no resonators.

Yeah, flowmaster 10's are suppose to be flowmasters least noise restrictive/loudest muffler.

All flowmasters flow about the same if they are center in/out. The offset inlets/outlets are a little worse. The wingplate creating a vacuum is just a gimmik though. The size and number of chambers is just for a broader choice of noise attenuation, while still giving that gurgly pipey noise. They would be better gutted out, and used as pulse wave termination chambers.
Spintechs are BS as well.
I consider both designs a step above OEM, because they do flow a little better, which of course translates to a difference on the dyno.

But glasspacks or cherry bombs would flow better? I wonder if they would be louder or quieter than the super 10's?

Depends on length. Race bullets are pretty loud. Either flow better, as long as its the original cherry bomb, and not their wingplate flowmaster knockoff.

thrush welded are nice - just go easy on pipe size - dual 2 inch is more than enough up to 350hp
