Exhaust

What would be a good setup to go with, I was thinking of dual 2.5" behind the rear wheels with some 40 series or maybe flo pro mufflers(thats what trhe place here carries). would this sound fairly good with these mufflers. I want a nice low rumble but kinda loud too, and was wonderring if this would be it. Right now I have long headers, with dual 2.25 and some kinda quiet bottles, I want it louder and rumblier so people know that I can

sounds good, i have the same setup except stock manifolds and glasspacks. glass would be cheaper but if you can afford it go with the flows. ive never heard of those other mufflers before

I would go with Aerochambers instead. I've got 40 series dual chamber on my truck right now (you can hear it on my site in sig.) and will eventually go with Aerochambers. They flow better and are cheaper. If you are set on Flowmasters then for the right price I might part with these

If you want the best legeall sound, flows all the way. If you want the best flow, no mufflers at all!

Yes AeroChambers are made by Hooker.

Tom- I gotta disagree with you. I've got Flowmasters and I've heard Aeros first hand. Hands down Aeros sound much better IMO.

Are AeroChamber REALLY loud? I'm thinking about buying one, but I don't want it very loud.

I think LOHRTBT has a sound byte on his website. Might look there.
