flowmasters don't break in. there is no packing in them so there is nothing really that will ever change. what motor is it?

On my 22re, I initially put a 50 series on and it almost sounded like a diesel tractor because there was no resonator after the muffler. I chopped it off and put the 40 series on and it worked, but I don't like for people to hear me coming. Nice deep low sound, but not obnoxicious.

Try putting a resonator on after the muffler...?

I put dual flowmasters on my chevy and thought the same way as you. Not loud enough...I'm now looking at "Race Mufflers". Dynomax...(I think) makes one called bullets. There mufflers only reduce the sound by 3-4 decibles. Just FYI. Heres the LINK
