Re: flowmasters
I currently have long tube headers , 2/12 pipes and thrush chambered mufflers. They have to much pop like a glass pack when you get above 2500 rpm . Thats why I want to change mufflers.

Re: flowmasters
Another thing to consider along with all the info provided by the other members is:
1. How the exhaust system is attached (hung under the frame) on your ride. There are many different brackets designed to hang an exhaust system, many shops will use the common metal L shaped bracket and a high temp rubber grommet/bushing between it and the frame, these type of brackets are not very good at insulating sound and vibration inside the cab, they are very rigid....some may like this others may not. 2. If you want less interior vibration and noise regardless of which muffler you decide to go with, use an exhaust/muffler bracket system that will help insulate noise and vibration for the inside of your ride, you will enjoy your new exhaust system that much more. You do not have to spend big money here (though you can) but something like the J-hooks with a rubber block work well or the standard multi-position rubber brackets (picture of one style below) are fairly in-expensive.
