What muffler offset are you running? I plan on Spintechs. True duels with side exit.

well performance for one thing they are know as chokemasters by most. there loud and rattle. that delta flow stuff rust out and start to blow out the back and the case cracks. it was on the truck when it was bought.

78 has a walker true dual kit,now with tails removed,after the cherry bombs.
79 has custom bent duals,with and H pipe to flowmasters.
both cleaned out manifolds to pipes @ 2.25, out before the rear tires....
lol I'm sure the neighbours know when I leave.

Im running headers, true duals, flowmaster delta 50's and come out behind the tire.

2 1/4" at the moment, but I have a full set of the same in 2 1/2" sitting in my garage waiting to go under it.

I don't experience any real issues with my flows, other then the delta ones are a little rattly. The 50's are to quiet for me, so the new setup has 40's again.

I am also running center in, center out. Those mufflers are little, so shouldn't really matter much for your application. Mine are hung from the factory spots on the crossmember right at the back of the cab, and again back by the springs.

They're called chokemasters by idiots that don't understand you can't take an air hose and blow air through them to measure the flow rate.

Never had any rust, cracks, or rattles on mine. Guess maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

When my truck ran...it had the Summit turbo mufflers with Dynomax headers. Sounded great...and cheap.

agreed, people who usually slag them have never used them. been running FM's on 5 diff trucks since early '90's. show me a spintech or whatever that will last 14 yrs under a 1 ton.
guess i better buy a lotto ticket too, for some reason my delta flow 50's dont rattle or rust either....bummer

That’s what I was thinking, too. I imagine most of those folks don’t have a flow bench in their back yard.

As a result of their sponsorship of the NMCA/NSCA “Fastest Street Car” series I’ve had 4” Flowmasters on my Chevelle for about 20 years. No issues and they have that distinctive Flowmaster sound.

A lot of guys around here run them on their 6 and 7 second street cars. I imagine they would be too loud for daily use (for me, anyway).

I'm running these Super40s they sound great.

I ran my first set for 13 years through all the PA salt plowing every winter and never had any issues. I actually would have still ran them, but just went new and gave the old ones to my uncle for his square.

I have no issues with the 50's I have now, other then they are a hair quieter then I would prefer. otherwise I would buy another set again and again and again.


Good luck with your purchase though.
