flowmaster 40 really really loud flowmaster 50 not as loud the cherry bomb about the same as the 50 series

One_96TR4 · 12-04-2007, 10:02 PM

Can't be of much help with the flowmasters but I have a 24" Magnaflow and it sounds great. Not too loud cruisin' along the freeway.

Sloan · 12-04-2007, 11:02 PM

go with the 40..its still not that loud

Nate08 · 12-05-2007, 04:21 AM

I've had the 40 and currently have the VORTEX. The VORTEX is deeper and drones less than the 40. The 40 is louder but annoying as balls on the interstate. Here are some VORTEX clips.

And a review I did. Feel free to ask questions.

Don't get me wrong, the 40 sounds nice, but the Vortex sounds better IMO. If you are gtoing with flowmaster, I'd look into the 50. It's deeper than the 40.

Are Mags free-flow, chambered, or what?

i have the 40-series and i'm pleased with it...not ricey sounding, yet deeper than stock. and i think the cherry bomb doesn't drone as much b/c it's a muffler with packing in it, versus chambers like the flowmasters have. and i also think the magnaflows are mufflers with some type of packing in them...

It is very possible. Besides the packing, it is also free-flow.

where can you buy the cherry bomb vortex?

Nate08 · 12-05-2007, 06:03 AM

Jason Burtman at www.burtmanindustries.com.
Or Google it the part number I THINK is 88103. It should have a 14" chamber.

Mr.Dabadina · 12-05-2007, 12:49 PM

I love my vortex. Its pretty quiet on the hwy

wjwerdna · 12-05-2007, 01:02 PM

i recently installed the Flowmaster 50 series, with the rest of the exhaust system stock, it sounds real good... not too loud, but a good low rpm sound. Also sounds very good under acceleration, and from the outside as well

jagger_snitt · 12-05-2007, 01:15 PM

Well the 89' runner I own has a custom 2" exhaust and a flowmaster on it.
Man that thing sounds like a beast. I freakin love it! No telling what it would be like on a V6!

4rnr4nick · 12-05-2007, 05:02 PM

are you sure thats the brake light and not the Overdrive OFF light? cuz I turn mine off when I wanna pass...and I'm thinking about getting this muffler on my 3.4

frodin1 · 12-05-2007, 05:15 PM

I have the Magnaflow 14225 Stainless ,it was about $60 off Ebay and installation was $40 from a local shop.

GOH10 Runner · 12-05-2007, 05:24 PM

I'm looking at getting the cherry bomb exhaust, how much does it typ cost to get welded on?
