What is a good bolt on cat-back for the 3.0??? Also, is dual exhaust worth it? Does it hurt performance in anyway? Affect gas mileage? I'm just looking for a little bit deeper sound maybe.

 

you can get a flowmaster muffler online for less than $50 bucks and go to a shop and have it installed with custom pipes... not very expensive....

best ebay seller of flowmasters... http://stores.ebay.com/Performance-Peddler

after shipping it would be about 60 bucks... just depends on if you want single in, dual out or single-single

 

ive got the flowmaster 40 series sinigle in dual out and i got it installed with tips for under $200... it has a very deep sound but is not too loud

 

flowmaster 40 series si/si dumped....good enuf...but upgradeing to single in/dual out dumped

 

is there any difference between teh 40s.. i've seen super 40 series, delta flow, and original.. whats the difference between them???

i know that alot of people like the flowmaster 40 series but i thinking of get a flowmaster hushpower II for my truck and i was wondering if any heard them yet on a ranger and what size is the factory pipe on a 04 3.0 edge

 

I have and prefer the jba headers and exhuast over the flowmasters. It's a single exhuast and looks great yet still has the stock bend. They dont sound ricy, sounds like a V8 mustang. I bought them online at jbaheaders.com

 

I went with the Dynomax Cat back.. costs like 280. It's not loud by any means. But You feel a Noticable Difference. I believe you can get it through Jegs and Summit

 

I poop on Flowmasters. All about sound. Go Magnaflow!

 

flowmaster all the way...man i need a clip of my truck. but yea, got custom mandrel bent piping and a flowmaster 40. it rumbles and wasnt loud till i did that one thing, but i like my truck loud. find a local place and get to know the owner guy and he may cut you a deal. id make sure the pipes are mandrel bent.

 

I'm not a big fan of Flowmaster. When I had my 98 Mustang Gt, I had Magnaflow Magnapack and I thought they sounded so much better. Plus, everyone in the world has Flowmaster, and they all have that same drone! lol

Anyway, I'm looking for like a bolt on or I may just get a muffler welded in. I just want Something basic really that sounds better and will maybe help performance?

 

from pasa-get-down-dena i see. i can see if i can get a phone number of a descent place to go. ive got a couple friends in pasadena. but everyone has their own opinion about exhaust. you could do gibson, jba, get a muffler with custom pipes. all in all it would all end up costing about the same. IMO id rather have something custom mandrel bent with either a magnaflow or a flowmaster

 

That would be cool if you could recommend a shop! I wanna get a rough estimate if possible. I'm still undecided and don't have the money yet, so all suggestions are welcome!
Thanks again.
