Flomaster 50 Delta Flow, or 60?

Flowmaster 50 Delta Flow vs. Flowmaster 60 The 60 is also a delta flow, but is ONLY available as a delta flow, so I didn't make that distinction before.

After listening to a bunch of clips, I'm sure that I want a flow. I've had good luck with them in the past, so I'm gonna stick with it.

So, now the question becomes, which one? From the clips on those page (bother 4 cyls) I think the integra sounds better than the PT cruiser, less rasp and gurlges. But it is not the same engine, so that could be the factor and not the muffler. But neither of them have too much "rice" sound, especially the integra.

Price is only $1 difference from summit, so that isn't an issue.

I would have made this a poll, but apparently that's not an option on this site...

I would go with the Delta. I have one on my Ford truck which has a v8. I had a regular three chamber flowfaster and it was too loud.

So far I have not heard anything bad about Deltas.

Technically, both of these mufflers are Delta flows, I was just saying that I wanted the 50 delta over the regular 50 OR the 60.

The 60 is a delta flow "designed" for 4 and 6 cyls, and is labeled as the "performance import" muffler. The 50 is a more universal muffler, but made for V8s primarily. The 50 is longer, but narrower (in both width and height). But both are available in 2.25" in and out.

I have the 50 and it's not too loud, mostly I installed it to gain ground clearance. It definately sounds nice!

My home boy had the 60 on his rattle can civic, and it sounded horrible. Go with the 50, Im assuming that the 60 wont sound that good on a runner. But if its made for the lower cylinder motors Id say its a tough choice. So Im lost in which I would choose. Like I said, I went away from the Flowmaster to the Borla

One of the things I like better about the 50 is that I can get it with an offset inlet, and offset outlet that matches the factory muffler (opposite sides), which should make it have better clearance, and fit the piping more easily. The 60 is only available with a center inlet and offset outlet. Both are available with 2.25" piping.

Go with the 50...I've heard both and the 60 is alright, but didn't have any mean sound to it if you know what I'm getting at. It just sounded a ton like the original muffler. I've got the 50 delta and high flow cat with a dump pipe. It sounds great to me.

Cool. I'm gonna have them fire it up without the stock tail pipe on first, then slip fit it before they weld it up to be sure. But when I took my ZJ from a tail pipe to a turndown, I sounded WAY better with the tail pipe. Still sounded bad ass (as Dodge engine do) but I sounded better with the 3" tailpipe and 4" tip. The turn down was deeper, but just didn't sound as mean.

I did the offset inlet/outlet as well.
