Flowmaster 40 on 2.5L
 
Anyone know how a Flowmaster 40 would sound on a 2.5L Ranger? When I first got the truck it had no muffler and sounded like crap. I have a stock one on it now but it is just a little to quiet for me. Anyone have an idea if it would still sound crappy or ok? I can get one for free from a buddy.

i have one on my 2.3l would you like a vid?

robert99ranger 03-08-2009 03:47 PM

Ya, if ya got one.

04BlackFX4 03-08-2009 05:05 PM

I dont think any exhaust on a 4 cylinder will sound good.... I say leave it stock imo.

robert99ranger 03-08-2009 05:08 PM

Ya I know. I just want something different. I will probably try it, its free.

Magnaflow would probably sound a little better on a 4 banger imo, wouldnt be as loud.

I have a super 40 on my 2.3 and everyone tells me its loud. I dont think it is. Youtube has quite alot videos of different mufflers on rangers.

07rangersport 03-08-2009 07:59 PM

I think it would sound pretty good for a 4 cylinder. I would go with an original 40.

robert99ranger 03-08-2009 08:01 PM

I did not find many good vids of flowmaster 40's on a ranger with 2.5 but i guess a few that you could kinda hear was good sounding. Would you just put a turn down on or what?

07rangersport 03-08-2009 08:03 PM

Just go to a shop and get them to put the muffler in place of the stock one.

robert99ranger 03-08-2009 08:05 PM

I can put it on, no problem. The stock one is already cut anyways.

timpat92855 03-08-2009 08:06 PM

I got turn downs and its a pain inside the cab. Im getting tips 45ed out the rear to get the sound away from the truck. From 1800-2300rpm my change in my cup holders jumps around.

I have the 40 series on my 2.3L. I think it sounds pretty good

i got a 40 on my 94 2.3 and it sounds way better than i would have thought it would of. i have no regrets in getting it however i'm a person that likes a loud truck and i wish it was a little louder

robert99ranger 03-11-2009 10:23 PM

rangercrazy07 03-11-2009 10:29 PM

DO IT!!! YOU WILL NOT NE DISAPPOINTED!

robert99ranger 03-12-2009 09:45 AM

Ok, thanks. Will do.

crazymikey 03-12-2009 09:47 AM

I just had one put on my 4.0 and I can't tell the difference between it and the stock one. I'm rather disappointed.

04blackedge 03-12-2009 04:42 PM

TheStig88 03-12-2009 04:50 PM

svsilver1000 03-12-2009 07:39 PM

Totally serious. Sounds deeper at start up and idle, and if you rev it, but on the road, it sounds totally stock,even if you're mashing the pedal to the metal. :irked:
