Just curious, what sounds best on a 3L V-6 ? The Borla exhaust system or Flowmaster.. If anyone has either one what are the advantages and disadvantages?? Any kind of information would be awesome. Thanks.

 

hey sry for not getting back to you on aim, i left my interent on while i was out.. here are a couple sound clips i took of my truck-

getting on it from 2nd gear through 3rd.. http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ent=ranger.flv

Those dont do any justice, it sounds way better in person.. i heard borla and flowmaster sound pretty similar on the 3.0L btw

 

hey its cool, maybe we can try talking on aim again some time and yeah basically if they sound the same im going with the cheaper one. ( flowmaster ) Some one said to me that if i used 2.25'' piping it wouldnt be loud at all.. so im thinking 2.5'' piping.. what would you or anyone else reccomend?

 

FLOW 40 man go hear mine at bottom of sig. mine sounds about like that 3.0 too :-D

 

Which Flow 40 do you have? I've DKMs truck and man that ***** is LOUD lol.

I'm defintely doing a dual exhuast setup though.

Dont ask but sounded almost like a Honda accelarating lol I was waiting for teh vtec to kick in at one point lol.

 

i have the flowmaster 40 series and it sounds awesome... very loud and deep the borla however is more of a deeper quiet rumble... both are very good but next time i may go with the borla just because i dont want to make as much noise anymore

 

Yeah i had my laptop in the passenger seat, so it caught A LOT of intake noise.

 

i would go with the 40 series or if you have money the borla

 

Heres a short vid of my exhaust. My camera sucks but you get the idea. Its a borla xs dumped off before the axle.

i definitely dont think the borla and the flowmaster sound the same at all. the flowmaster is deeper and a bit more "droney", and louder at idle than the borla, which has a more refined sound to it.

 

heres my dads flowmaster super 70 di/do on his 3.0

wow that super 70 dont sound bad

 

What about this set up.... Flowmaster 40 series Si/Do but the pipes come out the sides? you know how a regular stock pipe is, it comes out like an L but on both sides does it sound better ? Louder ?

 

no it doesnt ive heard it in person and it sounds almost as good as my flowmaster. almost. lol.

 

I have the flowmaster.. but if i had the money, i'd get the borla. Better performance, etc.

However, this depends on how you're gonna route your pipes. I dumped my exhuast.. so flos are good enough for me.

 

What online stores would you guys reccomend for me to buy and exhaust off of? Ive been looking around but havent found any name brand kits that would fit my Edge stepside truck. Any help would be sweet.

 

um.. what? brand of exhaust?

 

Well I hear Borla and Flowmaster are good brands for a 3.0 but I haven't found any sites that sell a complete kit.

 

Summit has them

 

summit!!! its the bomb

 

haha i have the si/do lightning style. i'll see if i can get my girlfriend to help me do a vid tomorrow.
