I currently have a flowmaster 40 series on my truck and have had it for about 5 years. I loved it, it had a nice deep sound. But over time all the welds rusted and its starting to crack...which doesn't make a nice sound.
So I want to replace it with a stainless muffler so it wont rust again. Any of you guys have one that gives a really deep sound that you would recommend? Right now I'm thinking about getting a Magnaflow.
Thanks alot
Nick

Its not stainless but my cherry bomb turbo muffler was very cheap and it sounds great. I have had it on for almost two years and no sign of rust. Even if i had to replace it every couple of years i won't care i think it was only like $35.

If you like the Flowmaster 40 get the stainless steel one.I paid $130 for mine many years ago and there is still no rust on it.I've had the cheaper version($80) as well and it rusted out in a couple of years.Also when/if you get a new drill a small hole at the bottom of one end this will help prevent it from rusting out as fast.

I have a Flowmaster 60 on both of mine. Which were originally designed for Toy 4x4 trucks, but now are designed for most 4 and 6 cylinder engines. It's got a good deep sound, but is has three chambers instead of two so it's not quite as deep as the 40.

I didn't know they made stainless Flowmasters. I Think I might try the Super 44 out. See how it sounds. As for the drill hole, I might just try that. Though, my muffler is completely black from running rich, it might clog up the hole!

Though, my muffler is completely black from running rich, it might clog up the hole! I had the same thought and even after 5 years the condensation still drips through the hole.I found out about the difference with the Flowmasters by accident.My old one ripped apart and I was on my way to make a trail ride and only one part store in my area had one and it was definitely different than what I had(heavier/thicker material) and cost me about $60 more than the first one I bought.I just recently took it off to put a stock set-up back on and my boss cleaned it up and looks pretty damn good for being 5 years old and he has it on his truck now. |

Thrush makes a good stainless muffler, fully welded, and cheap!

So I ended up getting the Super 44 from Flow Master. Welded it and put in up this weekend. The sound is nice. Really deep...really deep. I liked the flow master 40 series a lot, but at high rpm's it had that rice sound... The super 44 doesn't have it at all. I have a down pipe at the end too so it echo's off the ground. Gives it a lot of bass. Deep and loud. And it sound good at idle too. Nice put to it. Definitely recommend it.
