what flowmasters do I want? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-08-2008, 01:27 PM

I have a set of flows on my blazer and I have the same flows on my 454.... But I want them louder I have 2 1/2 intlet and outlet and am running headers. I really like the flows with the choppy idle can anyone post some vids with there exhaust...

70rs/ss · 08-08-2008, 05:05 PM

what series are your's now?? $0's are the loudest, unless you want a single chamber (probably not!). I ran the 40's with a 3" and it was really agressive. It will depend on the cam as well, but for sure the 40/44 are the most agressive of the "street" mufflers. The table shows the series according to sound and goes from loud to mellow. I beleive there are sound clips on the flowmaster site as well?

Im not sure which ones I have now as they were not in boxes when I recieved them. They are silver,seems like the black ones maysound a little better.. If I had to guess id say I had the deltas..

70rs/ss · 08-08-2008, 07:00 PM

If they are newer (within 10 years old or so) they may have the part # stamped in them, or look at the case, from the welds on the case you'll be able to see the shape of the baffles. I love the 40 series, they give you the rappity rap, rappidy rap idle and folks will know you are coming and going!! The deltas are cool as well.

corn · 08-08-2008, 09:33 PM

I have clone 40's. Love the sound of them...

**70cst** · 08-08-2008, 10:23 PM

I asked this from a Flowmaster Rep at the Street Rod Show in Louisville last week and he said the general rule is: 40 and younger the Series 40 and 50 and over the Series 50. He may not be to far off.

corn · 08-08-2008, 11:20 PM

Im over 40 but I still like mine loud...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-08-2008, 11:45 PM

What is the difference between the super 40 and 44? They both sound very similar?

Hey Corn...If you are between age 40 & 50 you fall into no man land. Me....I'm an old geezer. I have 40's on my BB CST but I am going to be changing them out cause I want a lower resonance in the cab. All in all it really comes down to taste verses age...I think?

eseaton · 08-09-2008, 01:49 AM

gotta go with the 40s, putting a pair on my 67, but have a single in dual out on the wifes 95 burb and i love the sound

original_balzer · 08-09-2008, 02:32 AM

I would sugest you look into other brands lol. I havent herd a flowmaster I really liked the sound of. Its all personal taste of course but I think they sound like a beer can. I LOVE magnaflows. I have dual 3" on the 77 you literally feel the sound in your chest when your outside of it, but its mellow in the cab. But I prefer a DEEP rumble over a crackle pop.

mine sounds like the elcamino on this page
http://www.magnaflow.com/04sound/04american.asp

I also had a single dynomax race bullet on a truck it sounded good too.
turn your volume down on this one click race bullet

I don't know what series mine are, I got em used!

You can buy knockoffs on ebay now for about half the price that sound very good.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-09-2008, 09:29 AM

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-09-2008, 09:31 AM

asa I love that green truck of yours and it sounds just like my blazer just wish my blazer was as nice. Jim I listened to the video and the truck sounds good is the motor a stiock crate motor with the exception of exterior bolt on goodies?

original_balzer · 08-09-2008, 03:23 PM

Yes it is all a matter of personal taste. I will say if anyone wants LOUD those dynomax race bullets are as loud as they come.

I was prooven wrong this morning though a friend stopped
and his truck sounded NICE asked him what he was running and he said flowmaster delta flows.

pissonNOS · 08-09-2008, 05:58 PM

i have flowmaster 50s and i love em and im only 23?

race-n-jason · 08-10-2008, 07:06 PM

Here is a VIDEO CLIP of some original 40 series Flows, 2-1/2" pipe dumped prior to the rear axle. 454 w/ mild cam. This shot is from inside garage, which propably wasn't the best place to put the camera, but you'll get the idea.

Jcentsr6 · 08-10-2008, 09:32 PM

I have Super 44's on my 402bb with Hooker super comp headers.....I always get people saying they like the sound. I love it. Mine comes out right before the rear wheels.

QKENUF4U · 08-10-2008, 10:58 PM

RACE-N-JASON - that sounds sweet and exactly why i LOVE FLOWS !!!! very quick reving BB ya got too !!!!

It's a 350 H.O. 330 H.P. crate motor. Just like it came out of the box with the exception of the Demon Carb. It also has a 3" x 11" air cleaner on it now.

race-n-jason · 08-12-2008, 11:49 PM

thanks for the compliments...

The exhaust was "echoing" in the garage. It does have a nice throaty tone, but isn't quite as loud at idle as it might have sounded.

Hope this didn't mislead you.
