Hey guys my stock muffler is about to fall off and I was gonna put on stock type muffler but what the heck i want to live a little lol. Gonna get a flowmaster 40 series muffler, need to know what the part number is for the muffler for a stock style setup. Just want to weld it in and go. thanks

 

just go look for one with the same diameter inlet and outlet as your stock exhaust tube. it would be wise to upgrade your catback system..

 

anyone know an exact part number?

 

save up ur money and go with a 2.25'' cat back if you like it Loud go with a 14'' magnaflow if thats to much go with a 18'' ... i put a 14'' glass pack on my 22re with stock pipes and it didint do nothing just made a little louder

 

can't afford a catback just a muffler. Anyone know what a 22re is gonna sound like on a standard cab 2wd truck? Is it gonna sound like a buzzing hideous honda civic? I know it's not gonna sound like mustang obviously but id like it to be somewhat deep and mellow.

 

a 22re with a flowmaster 40 series two chamber that is....

 

Flowmaster 40's are going for about a hundred bucks these days...

I got an entire custom exhaust bent, cut and welded on with a 14" Magnaflow muffler and a chrome tip at a local exhaust shop here for $130. That's for killing the cat, 2.25" to the magnaflow and 2.5 out the back.


He was in a good mood that day though and gave me a good deal, but you can probably expect to get similar for $150-175.

Trust me, get an entire exhaust done. It makes a big difference. It not only sounds better but it made a big difference in power too.

Don't even bother with a high dollar cat back prebent system. They are priced way too high for what you get.

 

i had a delta 40 with a 2.25'' pipe it sounded good a little ricey after all its a 4bannger but when i got my header it sounded better i liked it

 

Instead of a flowmaster, buy a cheap turbo muffler and the rest of the exhaust system... Eventually get around to replacing the cat and adding a header.

Adding a "flowmaster" on a 4cyl is buying for a brand name... It doesn't begin to sound like a v8, won't give you any more power, and is a waste of money over something more generic.

 

Was this on a 22RE motor?

 

I really don't want to spend $100 for a flowmaster if it's gonna sound like a ricey honda. For some reason I thought since it was a "big" 2.4 liter four cylinder and it being a truck, it would sound much better and deeper than a ricer.

 

Flowmasters don't sound ricy, I perfer the sounf of a Flowmaster over just about anything on the markek, deep and throaty for a 4 banger. I have a Borla that is hollow, a 4 into 1 header and no calalletic converter, and 2.25 tubing from the header back. It is just about the loudest thing I have ever heard. If I had to do it again I would go Flowmaster.

 

It won't sound ricey, but it wont sound like a v8 either.
compare to a $20 turbo muffler...

 

that settles it flowmaster it is, thanks guys..

 

your pipe diameter out of the muffler is the big factor in how it will sound. it will sound rice on a stock pipe. if you gonna get a flowmaster call your local shos and see what they charge to bend a couple pipes and weld it on for ya. otherwise if money is the issue id go get a factory replacenent and be done with it. turbo II's are ricey but with bigger pipe the larger 18 inch turbo II is essentially the same as a magnaflow. i had a 14 inch turbo II on my truck before and it sounded halfway decent with stock pipes, but i later upgraded to a flow 40 series and 2 1/2 inch pipe to a biiiiig 3 inch pipe out of the muffler. it sounds pretty good. ive heard the magnaflows and i think they sound very similar to the turbo II's

 

so its gonna sound like crap with the stock tailpipe?? why?

 

heres what my 22re sounded like with the stuff ive posted http://s63.photobucket.com/albums/h1...t=MVI_1209.flv
sorry the quality aint the best but u get what it would sound like..... also forgot to say i had a custom intake and a Lce header and a hiflow cat

 

Here's a vid I made of my Magnaflow right after I put it on.

It's 2.25 from just ahead of where the cat was into a 14" Magnaflow, then 2.5 out the back. Since then the muffler has broken in though and is a lot louder. You get the idea though.

both vids with the magnaflow and flowmaster sound good, definetly better than I expected. Doesn't sound like a 4 cylinder at all, wow. The magnaflow setup sounds much better than expected, i had a setup on my mustang and it sounded horrible, there is nothing that sounds better on a mustang than a set of flows. thanks guys.

 

hey guys should i go 2.25 or 2.5 tailpipe, the guy at the muffler shop says hes got only 2.5 flows. will this be ok? i want that deep sound.
