has anyone tried the flowmaster super 40 series mufflers, how do they compare to the regular 40 series

bringit · 06-08-2005, 07:34 AM

I have never used them but flowmaster sucks IMO, get SpinTech, Magna Flows, or Hooker Aero Chambers (have real mellow sound and no drone).

You will find many flowmaster haters on here it is like that with many popular brands. I for one think the flows sound the best out there but the price is more than I would be willing to pay for sound.

I bought super 40's last spring when they came out..2.5 in /2.5 out..I found them way to quiet..I actually sold them in my local paper a week and a half later and took a big loss...I bought the regular 40's and was much happier..they are alot louder which is what i was looking for ..mind you the guy at the muffler shop thought i was f@#$%$ and figured i had money to burn..he he..if you want a little rumble get the regular 40's..just my 2 cents..hope this helps...

bringit, flows don't suck i love the sound, all those brands you listed, the vehicles i have heard with those brand names sound like $h!+,ocbaud's sounds the best with magnaflows, but the sound of 40 series flows would sound a heck of a lot better than em, i don't care about the loudness, and i ain't takin the crap that the other mufflers flow more

You don't buy flowmasters for a mellow tone, just like you wouldn't buy dynamax super bullets for a quiet sound. I assume you think those suck also?

Sorry but when someone asks for a comparison of a type of product and all anyone can tell them is their choice sucks I have to laugh.

bringit · 06-09-2005, 07:44 AM

IMO flows do suck and are trendy, and they flow like crap but thats just MY OPINION. I think that with the 1,000,000,000 of threads about flowmaster all over the internet people would relize they suck for performance and the only reason some would want it is for sound. And that if you have heard one car or truck with flowmasters youve heard them all.

EDIT The biggest complaint I have heard from flowmaster fans is the drone in the cab of the truck, I was saying that if you want to avoid that and have a great sounding muffler go with the Aero Chambers. And I dont thing Dynomax bullets suck, the only one I think sucks is FLOWMASTER

I've used the Flomaster delta's and liked them. I'm running the Hooker maximum flows and they are kinda loud

I would buy them again because they are very quiet at idle but are nice and throaty when on the throttle.

Jegs has these Pro Flow mufflers on sale for $29. They're an exact copy of a Flowmaster 40, and good quality, but cheaper. I just bought 2 of them for my truck...haven't installed them yet, but the one I put on my Jeep sounds pretty damn good!

82c10 · 06-09-2005, 09:50 PM

Zmoz do you have any sound clips

Overcamber · 06-09-2005, 10:09 PM

try this link..its pretty good... www.exhaustsoundclips.com
they got just about everything there..

84slopwaggin · 06-10-2005, 12:25 AM

I've own both hooker aero chambers and flowmasters and depending on where you exit the exhaust on the vehicle you will get the drone sound out of both of these brands of mufflers. I for one love the drone at stop lights, stop signs etc. Mine where dumped at the axle explaining the interior resonance, but that should hardly be notice if the exhaust exits the rear of the vehicle either behind the rear tires or at the rear bumper. You don't get the tin can effect with hookers that you do with the flows just a throaty exhaust note. JUS MY 2PENNIES.
