If you want good sound with a low price just get a drill and put a hole or two in your muffler right where the muffler and exaust pipes meet. Should you hate the sound you can just replace the muffler which you said you might do anyhow so no loss. If you like the sound then problem solved. I have never done it for sound purposes but I have had to put holes in my exaust before because of low flow and it made the car sound a bit louder without having cops knocking on my window with a ticket for disturbing the peace.

Just an idea you might want to try.

Wow, Are you 16?? This is an old high school trick to get a rumble.

haha too funny! So does anyone have any sound clips of there blazer with the exhaust done, or the just the muffler done? I know BlazerLT does and it sounds great! He just needs to rename the audio files cause they are backwards! I am sure he knew that though!

They have a lot of internal deflectors that hinder exhaust flow.

Anything Flowmaster has to flow better than a stock muffler. Is the 50 quieter than the 40?

Re: Best Muffler

I don't know... I went to the performance exhaust shop near my house, and they offer Flowmaster (I agree with BlazerLT, I don't want a bunch of deflectors slowing down the exhaust flow), IMCO, and v-force (from Flo-Pro) Anybody heard anything good or bad about these?

Don't assume that.

Flowmasters really hinder exhaust flow for sound.

The 50's are not as loud as the 40's. I have the 40 on my blazer and there are alot of people who think it has a v8. It isn't loud enough to get any tickets, but when you step on it you can tell. It also upped my gas mileage by 2 miles to the gallon and that was before the CIA, which didn't help gas mileage any. I have always swore on Flow Master though, it is the same exhaust I has put on my mustang. Sounds great, they last long, and in my opinion don't hog power. Just me though, it was better then the Flo-Pro I had on my mustang before, both sound and flo.

Re: Best Muffler

You can claim that it improved sound, but you have no proof that the flow 40 improved flow.
