Exhaust Question

[zack_01]

I have a 2001 4 cylinder s-10 and i was thinking about getting a series 40 flowmasters on it dual exhaust...do you think it will be worth the money and will it end up sounding like a pissed off weedeater cuz thats not what im looking for at all.

First of all, you can't have dual exhaust on a 4cylinder.

Just installa flow40 in the place of the stock muffler and you will be fine.

you can put the money that you save by only buying 1 muffler towards a header, and gain a little power if you want.

I've seen dual exhuast on an inline 6, with a stock manifold, so you could always do it, but might even rob some power, and would probably make a sewing machine sound like a muscle car in comparison

na you can put dual exaust on a 4 cylinder but it wont be a true dual and youl have to get a flowmaster 1 into 2 exaust and my friend has it on his s10 and in my opinoin it sounds like shit. i have a glass pack on my 6 and it sound realy good considering i didnt pay nuthin for it but you can get a glass pack for less than $20 at autozone

theres a good reason you can get glass packs so cheap, but thats just my opinion

[hotwheelsgt]

lol whats the reason? i bet you think they suck. lol well then why would they suck?

[OverBoardProject]

Well Glaspacks are an aquired taste, and I like them. They don't rust out like normal mufflers, and lighter, and make most cars sound more powerful than they really are.

[hotwheelsgt]

i like them cuz there cheap and ya they dont realy rust and they have a good sound and i kno some people that said they dont give enuf back pressuse lo but thats why they come in diffrent sizes

[BlazerLT]

Actauly, glasspacks will rot out faster than any standard perfomance muffler.

The fiberglass hold a lot of moisture and doesn't allow it to evaporate off.

[hotwheelsgt]

hum i havent seen one thats messed up yet

[dmbrisket 51]

yeah, sorry it took me a day to reply, but blazerlt feilded just nicely for me, thank you. The glass packs break apart and sound like shit after 4 or 5 months, and especally here in michigan, when you start your vehical in the winter time they are done for, they crack right away and are useless

[hotwheelsgt]

huh??? wut do you mean by crack? and i kno there good for a hole lot longer than 4-5 months

[OverBoardProject]

Sorry BlazerLt, but the newer, more pricy glasspacks are packed with stainless steel wool, and stone wool. Plus even the cheap ones sure seem to last a long while.

[dmbrisket 51]

the just detereorate and sound rhaspy, over board may be right on the how newer ones are mad, just from what ive seen out of them in years past they arent a good product overall
