Got a Flowmaster 40 series with a tundra exhaust tip today. Took a cell phone vid of the noise and came out like crap so all I have is one picture right now. I'll see if I can't borrow a digital camera.

Nice!

I am going to be getting a new exahust soon as well. I just can't decide between the 40 and 50 floemaster.

What does the 40 sound like inside?

MillerPKA

nice hum at low rpms but gets quieter as they rise. on highway its barely noticable. i just took some pics and a video from a 7.2 mp camera i'll get em on here in a second

MillerPKA

video should be up in a minute

MillerPKA

see if this works

Nice looking truck!

The vid does work. It sounds a little "Civc" like. Is that just the vid? I am looking for something that has a nice DEEP sound. I will also be going dual on mine so that might make it a little lower.

I do like the volume that you get out of it, just can't tell tone very well on a vid.

sounds nice! did you go with the Delta flow or the Super 40? What size piping?

YM13

i'm sure if you add a resonator (don't know what size) it would surely make it a ton deeper but it would also take out some of the gurgle which could quite possibly make it sound like a ricer... I personally didn't really think it sounded much like a civic... Do you think you can get a drive-by at a pretty low speed and then another one accelerating? That will give us a clear picture of what it really sounds like (because the microphone is picking up the sound straight out of the muffler tip). Sounds good though

Congrats, I have the 40 series on mine also if I'm not mistaken. I love the sound.

CLEANSR5

I really like that tip. Looks good!

Texas_Ace

I agree a drive by would be a lot better. Now it didn't sound real civc but it did kinda have that sound to it but that could very easily be the vid since most digital cams don't have great sound. And you are right a resonater could always fix that.

And yeah what size piping and delta or super?

MillerPKA

it's a super and its fitted onto stock piping. the video picks up more rice than their actually is. actually i think its the fact that it can't pick up the low frequency it produces, which leaves it with that sound.

here's the good thing though:

first engine mods were the deckplate/isr mods which were done simultaneously. obvious hp gains but the auditory gains were best heard at wot or higher rpms. since then i've been prone to stepping on the gas to hear that awesome growl it lets out after about 3500 rpms. with the flow (which drowns out the mods now) it sounds best at a low rpm which prompts me to keep a light foot. all in all its balanced out my driving habits and ultimately saving me my engine and some gas money along the way woohoo!!

the next couple weeks are going to be heaven for me:

next thursday i'm having the ome 3" suspension installed. the last week of may i'm getting a set of 285/75s for m'baby! so excited i could be my pants. oh, and on a seperate note, halo 3 beta comes out may 16th so that will make the time go by faster. (you know what i'm talking about all you closet dorks! hahaha)

oh, and i'm getting a trd windshield decal in the mail in a day or so, that's at least another 50+ horsepower

Texas_Ace

Why would you get the basic model?? For just an extra $9.95 you could have upgraded to the pro model and got 100+ HP (although it is really about 90 but they have to hype it...)

Cheap skate...

MillerPKA

its cool sometime down the road i'll be getting the badge for the rear which i hear is the equivalent of dropping an sc inside......and then some. after this sticker goes on i may have to switch from my original idea of bfg ats and go with some slick pirellis

Texas_Ace

For sure, those ATS's will not even be close to enough traction for you to even stay on the road! LOL

MillerPKA

can anybody say fast and the furious 4: 4runna stunna?

.....

i'm sorry this has to end, back on track. BFGs and peaceful sleep. BYAH!

Texas_Ace

LOL, you know had we kept it going i could just see the noob that comes on here and thinks we were serius...

But yes back on topic.....

MillerPKA

serious question though? with the 3" ome coils on my runner and probably not too serious of flexing going on in the next few months should i go with 285/75s or 305/70s?

Texas_Ace

Well the 305/70's will not get as good MPG but for looks i like the 305's hands down (as do 90% of plp on here).

Really it comes down to what you will be doing with her. If you will just be runnin around town then go with the 285/75 as they will get better MPG and with the high $$$ of gas that could be a house payment.

If you have $$$ to spend then go with the 305's they look BAD!

Jdizzydub

That exhaust sounds pretty nice, a drive by would be sweet.

MY YT sticker gives me like 50hp!!

I run 285 MT's on stockies, and at only 2.5 in the front..minors triming and shaving but thats cus of the wheel backspacing
