HELLA HAPPY!!! Just got my dual exhaust installed today! Although it didnt turn out as loud as I want it...as it breaks in within the next two weeks, it will get louder...I will also be installing a new intake so that will give it a little bit more sound as well...anyone do a snorkel on our Rangers yet? :)

Ill post some pics in a day or two..

Flowmaster 40 Series..

 

... awesome choice on the flowmaster though... you will love it

 

Sweet. Lets see some pix.

I have the flowmaster 40's dual and i am happy with the sound of it.
What size pipe did you use?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but flowmasters dont really "break in" since it's more less just baffles instead of packing in the muffler right?

 

nope they do break in the ones i had on my 5.0 broke in and was loud as could be .

 

lol Nor Cal... anyway nice choice on the flow 40!

Pretty Much EVERY muffler has a 2,000-4,000 mile break in period, depending how you drive.

 

Those central valley folks thinking their Nor-Cal need to look at a Map!!! I am in Eureka, now that is Nor-Cal!!!

 

just wait....with in a couple days, she'll lighten up a little bit. well, she'll be LOUDER! I've got a Super 40 and LOVE IT!! Glad you're happy with it. And I love the popping sound when decelerating in gear.

 

Hell yea!! I love it when it does that...I put it in 1st gear round town and neighborhoods so I can let off the gas and hear it do that popping haha Can't wait till it gets louder!

 

very nice choice i also have the 40 and love it!

 

You'll love it. My boss drives a 05 2wd ranger w/ a 3.0....my exhaust drives him NUTS. In the parking lot i purposely throw it in 4L so I'm at 4000rpms at like 12mph..haha, very funny stuff. I've only heard in real life a couple rangers with exhaust, and in my opinion, mines the loudest and meanest sounding. (HarryTasker aka Arnald, your truck sounds good too)

 

Also have super 40 and yea i love it too.

 

hate to break in on your parade but i love my magnaflow....it sounds a lil ricey....and still isnt broken in but ill be darned if it dont sound awsome when its singing

 

Damn Tim, your just a *Flowmaster Party Killer* arent ya? haha thats kool though man, I was real close at going with the Magnaflows but I wanted it to sound as mean as possible, anyways...glad to hear your exhaust turned out well

 

Hey guys, I have a '05 XLT with the 4.0L and reading your posts is driving me nuts. I think its time I got an exhaust on it. I want to do a Flowmaster 40 with dual outlet and duals straight out the back. But here is my question. Ive been looking on a lot of forums and hear a lot of complaints about the Flowmaster and a loss of power. How true is this? Has anyone felt a difference? My truck is stock, and I plan on putting in a K&N and doing the airbox mod, but thats it. Im torn between the magnaflow and the flowmaster. I really want to get the Flow but don't want any power loss. Also do you guys have any sound clips to listen to? Ive been searching and noone really has a good clip of the 4.0 with a Flow. Thanks for your help.

 

Flowmaster is good for sound, i guess it takes away from tourque, which is going to take away from your low-end power. Like i said, a muffler for sound. I have a Borla Pro-Xs center/offset muffler and 22x3.5 tips...It is as loud as the flowmaster, but ALOT deeper. The flowmaster has a destinct sound, more throaty than borla, but i really love how deep my Borla is. It dosent take away from the low-end power like flowmaster either, so you'll gain in the power dept. with borla. I am have no regrets on exhaust with my 4.0.

I have a sound clip link in my signature (right click save as) if you'd like to hear it, but i gotta warn you, the sound clip was taken right when the muffler was new and not broke in, it sounds ALOT better now that i have passed the break in period of the pipes/muffler.

Hope that helps ya
