personally, i dont like them that much. i do love the spintech mufflers though

crapy67 · 04-14-2009, 05:31 PM

Flowmasters here, I have the 40 series as well and I'm so glad I didn't go another route

texanidiot25 · 04-14-2009, 07:52 PM

Glass packs, every body has flow masters these days, it's just as boring as the "system and rimz" crowd of late model trucks.

vectorit · 04-14-2009, 08:02 PM

Flowmasters here, and I really like them. I have run the Gpacks, and the "turbo" style muffs for years before, and I am really happy with the Flowmasters. To each their own I guess...

nice sound

I have a set of hooker header mufflers on the project I'm building. I think they sound awesome!!! They have a great rumble at idle, and if you snap the throttle they make a really loud cracking sound! I love it!! can't wait to get it finished and go rip up the streets!!:

**70cst** · 04-14-2009, 10:48 PM

I had Flowmaster 40's on my 402 but I had to much inner cab noise for my taste. I'm seriously looking at SPINTECH. Youtube has a lot of clips with thse mufflers.

Yea, close to stock. Kinda the way I wanted it, except for the dual pipe, cross over, and flowmasters. All while runnin the original rams.

Done to many long trips in the burb sounding like a dragster, now I just listen to the motor and the transmission gears.

magsnubby · 04-15-2009, 03:19 AM

I've ran both glass packs and Flowmaster 40's with headers on my '71 Cheyenne and for all around power and sound, i'll stick with the Flowmasters. I run one on my jeep, my '05 GMC Canyon, and as soon as i put a header on it, my '56 Chevy sedan.

mongoose · 04-15-2009, 04:20 AM

sounds is a personal taste.. so it's kinda hard to ask what one is better, IMO both sounds like crap...

i'd vote for spin techs... had 50 series flows on my car.. changed over to the spintechs.. 100% better imo, just a way gnarlier sounding system. NOT MY CAR, but very close to the motor that's going into my truck, and one of the best on youtube.

Well tomorrow I am going to order the SpinTech Sportsman Street muffler. 2.5" version. I like the sound of these plus I wanted to try something other than flowmasters.

LuckyHenriksen · 04-26-2009, 06:56 PM

I had Cherry Bomb Extremes on my old SBC, with Hookers and 2.5 inch X pipe they sounded great.

These will be mated to a 402BB with factory manifold/exhaust set up.

Hoffman65burb · 04-26-2009, 08:29 PM

If your getting flowmaster 40 series. Just buy Thrush Welded, with the flowmaster your just paying for the name. Thrush has made thier muffler EXACTLY like the 40series. With my discount at the local auto store, it comes to about $20(

) a pop

. I prefer the deep tone of the 40 series more than the "BLAT" of cherry bombs. Make sure you do True duel exhaust though

weasel29gm · 04-26-2009, 08:36 PM

After lookin' at some of the kits and checkin' out some shop qoutes I bought a pair of glasspacks at a swap meet, was gave a set of stainless tips, got 45's bent and built my own. Less than $75. No way I'm gonna pay 50 and up for mufflers and 200 up for the rest and labor. Or on the big bucks for a kit. Call me cheap but no exhaust is worth over a couple of hundred.

You make some good points but my C10 will have all new exhausts which is part of the resto it is going through.

chas350 · 04-26-2009, 10:50 PM

my sons truck has the CherryBomb Vortec's. nice sounding, loud!
these are mufflers not glass packs.

**70cst** · 04-26-2009, 10:59 PM

As mentioned...I had 40's and they were to loud as far as cab noise. Maybe of I was about 30 years younger they would be ok but I am past that stage and I desire a little softer sound. Spin Techs seem to have a nice mellow sound w/o causing cab noise issues.

weasel29gm · 04-27-2009, 11:01 PM

Not sayin' don't buy new,but 300 hundred and up is extreme IMHO. I've got stainless on mine just changed mufflers and the tips were take offs. The guy just had the expensive stuff!! His junk is my gold!! LOL!!
