nice test, but really comparing apples to oranges..not many muffler buyers have a 406 motor with brodix heads that runs like a nascar engine---they need a test on near stock or mild built street motors, cuz thats where most of their mufflers end up behind...:)
Question to anyone that can help.. I got a 350 and im putting 2 1/2 Original 40's.. What would be better H , X , or STRAIGHT pipes like i have it now is there any diff? Thanks..
@ALVIE78744 You should run an H-pipe, it will keep the bass tones in the system to give you a nice muscle car tone. X-pipes tend to delete bass notes and have a high pitched European sports car tone to them. Running only 1 pipe per muffler is just not advised otherwise your only bangin each muffler with 4 cylinders instead of 8.
Love Flowmaster, but I have to Dislike this. On this type of engine and pipe setup, they pretty much all sound the same to me. I'd love to see/hear a comparison on something closer to what we actually drive 95% of the time. Just do it on a modern chevy silverado with out headers and catless exhaust pipes for crying out loud.
@HOWARDSRACING If you think the super 10's sound good, you need to check out the 40 series Delta Force. Its a more aggressive version of the original 40 series. Type "true duals dumped" into the search, and you'll see a '95 Z28 thats teal. Its the epitome of Flowmaster badass. Type in delta force flowmaster, and you should find a '64 Chevy C/10 with the same mufflers.
@Ironheade21 YES! one thing to be aware of though; the second generation trans ams have limited ground clearance for a true dual exhaust. While it is feasible to run a traditional 4 inch thick muffler under the car. I would use the 50 delta flow LOW PROFILE mufflers. the mufflers are only 3 inches thick and they sound really good. they will be mild on the interior but still have a traditional 'flowmaster tone' on the outside. They only come in 2.5 inch and the part number is 932556
@zuneboy100 I've got 3.5" super 10's on my 428 powered 75 Trans AM. Dumps right at the rear axle. Just IMO, but way too loud for street driving, too raspy, and drones like a swarm of pissed off bee's while cruising. They're coming off as soon as I can get replacements.
@75Bird455 The Super 10's only go up to 3 inch, you must have the Delta Force Race muffler on there. Anytime you dump ANY exhaust, it's going to drone...it has no choice when it's trapped between the car and the ground, it's not the mufflers fault. Add tailpipes and an H-pipe(if you don't have one yet) to balance out the exhaust pulses and run the exhaust out from under the car. You'll get way better street manners.
@meowmix90039 The Delta Flow 40 series would basically sound the same on the outside, the Delta Flow technology helps keep them calmer in the interior, that is why they did not get tested.
@R69X3 Ahhh I see, they look good quality though because you hear all the hype about every header dealer but to me their all the same unless their tubes are technically made
@papabugs71 Sorry for using a Chev but it's the only motor I had. It is my personal motor for my Camaro. If I had a Ford or Mopar engine available to me I would do another video.
@R69X3 Man that would be great. Flowmasters sound so different on a 302 Ford compaired to a 350 GM. & the chrysler motors sound different from all others.
The Hushpower pro series have caught my eye. Im considering swapping out my 70 series for one.
@onedrydog There usually is no problem with running these mufflers on the street unless they are REALLY obnoxious, so it depends on the motor and on the driver. If you have a aggressive car but you drive nice, you'll be okay. If you have the same car but drive like a jack ass, the cops are gonna getcha for everything!
One of the better muffler "sound" videos on YouTube. What kind of sound recording equipment did you use? I only ask because when I try to record loud sounds with my DVD camera it automaticlly cuts the audio levels down. So you never get the true sound. I have a V-10 Ford with a 40 series and will be changing it out with the Hushpower. Check my channel to hear how it sounds!
just curious if you would know what kind of muffler for my 94 ford explorer would make it sound as close to the deep bass sound of a v-8 and LOOOOOUD without crossing the illegal line??? in massachusetts the cops are hard ass when it comes to noise! i dont have cats . i dont want to spend over $50 for the muffler. the current thrush turbo muffler isnt what i want. please help with any advice.
a solid roller cam?....not exactly typical....how many rodders out there know how to adjust solids......not many thats for sure...you should have used a hydraulic cammed motor....but hell, the video was great.
TO ALL LISTENERS, IF YOU REALLY NEED HELP PICKING SOMETHING OUT FOR YOUR CAR OR NEED TO CURE A CURRENT PROBLEM, CALL FLOWMASTER'S TECH LINE. THEY DO THIS STUFF ALL DAY LONG AND A HUGE MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE OR ARE INTO MUSCLE CARS NEW AND OLD!
Super 10s are where its at. I think they sound better with less tailpipe then their using here. You get a much deeper tone and they actually sound somewhat unique.
i was really dissapointed to see that you didnt test the best flowmaster out of them all :( the super 44's are hands down the best sounding flowmaster out there!!!!!
@wobigpat000 The Super44s were not tested because on video you would not be able to tell the difference btween them and the Super40s. The 44s are simply a THINNER version of the Super40s. The Super40's are 5 inches thick and the 44s are 4 inches thick, the 44s are modeled after the Super40s.
thank you flowmaster for the presentation and such i was set on buying a series 40 then when i heard the 50 series i knew that was the one for my 08 vortec max its gonna sound good thankyou very much.
@benii02 i think you should call the people at Flowmaster, they can help you with your V6 Mustang, here's the phone number for them 1-800-544-4761. Hope this helps you out.
@benii02 Flowmaster has a dual exhaust kit for your car that bolts up to your midpipe and then splits to 2 mufflers and 2 tailpipes. The part number I found using their website is 17276. They say when the car is idling it has a sound similar to a V8.
quiero intalarle flowmaster a mi mustang v6 3.8 quiero que se escuche como un 8 cilindros que clase de flowmaster le tengo que intalar y cuantos 1 o 2 ...
Great presentation. Best one I have heard yet !!! I have had several different exhaust setups on my various toys. My 57 Belair with a small block has stock "Ram Horn" manifolds with 2 1\2 inch aluminized pipe and 50 Series Flows with a Bassani X-Pipe and tail pipes out the back. AWESOME sound. One-of-a-kind.
as i stated before my comment got deleted by flowmaster, listening to this video made me not like any of their mufflers. all these mufflers sound like ass, tinny as shit. why would someone buy these when they dont flow worth a damn and sound so horrible. thrush magnum glasspacks for me baby :)
@michaelmyers1993 So if Thrush is so great, why do they now have a chambered muffler like the Flowmaster instead of sticking with their cheap glass pack design? How do you know |Flowmaster doesnt flow? are you looking at flow bench numbers? A flow bench is not a motor! A motor does not blow cool air at a continuous rate, it's hot exhaust gases in pulses with soundwaves. If You prefer the glasspack sound that's fine but Flowmaster has been run on pretty much every form of race car with success.
yes i prefer the glasspack sound over the sea of delta flows in the world. but yea i was looking at flow bench testing, hooker max flows were the best flowing, same as 2 1/2 inch straight pipe
@michaelmyers1993 I'm simply stating that using a flowbench is not the way to test exhaust, that's what chassis dynos are for. An airflow bench is great for the top end of the motor (carb, intake,heads) but once the 'big bang' happens the exhaust is hot and has soundwaves in the mix NOT cool air. And as I stated last time, if the Flowmaster is sooo horrible why is Thrush making a knock off 40 series muffler??
yea i see where you're coming from on that. and thrush is making that knockoff probably to just make money off of all the tools that go to flowmaster. if we're talking about the same muffler, its the one thats like $30 right? and i honestly think that about 80% of people who buy flowmasters are tools that only listen to what others say. the other 20% have researched how they can benefit from it.
for example i showed someone a video of glasspacks and they were like "eww that sounds like shit". showed them a flowmaster video "they sound amazing!". showed them a video of a glasspack and told them it was a flowmaster and they were like "they sound really amazing!". told them they were glasspacks and to my face he said "oh, they sound like ass"...just a bunch of tools man
@michaelmyers1993 We can go round and round about sound all day long, sound is a preference and everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm totally ok with that, My concern was that you think the muffler doesnt perform according to the flowbench and I'm simply telling you that a flowbench is just a gimmick and using a chassis dyno is a proven piece of equipment. I will admit that Ive heard systems with FM that don't sound good but a lot of people also think a 40 series belongs on everything.wrong
exactly. i wouldn't mind them if they had personality. i mean seriously they sound the same on every engine. a 454 sounds like a 318, 302, 265, 350 etc.
@michaelmyers1993 I dont think the comparisons are that close but Flowmasters do have their own tone and there are like 12 options of series to choose from to give you different volumes and tones. I personally think that all glasspacks sound the same and the only thing that seperates them is the outside material (304 stainless or aluminzed steel). Dynomax, Magnaflow, Borla, Corsa, Thrush...all the same
yea flowmasters just have the flowmaster tone to them, lots of people say they sound the same no matter what setup, and that whatever series it is determines the loudness of the flowmaster tone. you can hear what the actual engine sounds like with glasspacks seeing as they are basically a straight pipe
@michaelmyers1993 I'm gonna agree to disagree, have you watched the Dynomax video where they test the mufflers on a 502? The video, while impressive to show goers is completely worthless, there's no H or X pipe and no tailpipes! Either way, this discussion was not about sound in the first place, I was only pointing out that a see through muffler is no better than a Flowmaster in performance just because a flow bench says so. Just out of curiosity, what do you drive?
@michaelmyers1993 Well, good luck with the Chevelle, I had one myself and loved the car. Make sure to post a video of it when you have it in running order and give a brakedown of the exhaust you choose to run. Maybe by the time you post a video I might have my 67 done (454 with 3 inch exhaust and Shorty Hushpower Pro-Series).
unfortunatley, these arent what i was looking for. anyone know any exhaust systems that minimizes the popping sound? and produces a very DEEP rumble sound?
@stockedmuscle the heads which you can see at :11 are the silver colored items on the top of the motor. they contain: the rocker arms, which pushes all of the valves open via the camshaft; the intake valves, which lets in the fuel/air mixture from the intake on top of the motor; and the exhaust valves, which let the gases from the burnt fuel out of the motor. i hope i explained it for you good enough. if not comment back and i will message you in greater detail about heads.
you guys should use a smaller engine like a 350 and not have it so beefed up it sounds amazing but i want to hear what these mufflers would sound like on my truck! thanks alot and great video!
I think you should make another video with a smaller motor closer to the average everyday motor you see running around. Like a 350/355 with a baby cam or something. I'm sure it would only be a change in overall volume but it would be cool, maybe even a mild big block maybe? I love flowmasters I put them on everything and maybe sometime soon I'm thinking a super 40 on my pocketbike. LOL!!!
This is the best flowmaster video ever! The audio quality was clean and clear the video was smooth. It's nice to see someone do a video thats NOT in a dyno room, it eliminates echo and gives the best comparison for real raw sound. And it was a great idea to set up a full exhaust system, creating the closest comparison of sound to what will be on the car. LONG LIVE FLOWMASTER!!!
@dejuan71 defintly, i won a set of flowmaster mufflers, picked the hushpower mufflers 1 pro series for my IROC and 1 hp2 for my durango, cant wait to here what they sound like lol.
Like the Super 10 Series! I have Super 40's on my 1970 GTO and a Super 44 on my 2004 Jeep GC 4.7 V8. I love the sound every Flowmaster gives. The perfect tone with the right amount of volume. I will always buy Flowmasters for any car I want to change the exhaust on.
Awesome vid!! Should do one with the 60 series for 4 bangers maybe a turbo ecotec one lol I could listen to flowmaster all day. Had a super 40 on my truck sounded amazing!!.
the original 40 series sounds sick

An airflow bench is great for the top end of the motor (carb, intake,heads) but once the 'big bang' happens the exhaust is hot and has soundwaves in the mix NOT cool air. And as I stated last time, if the Flowmaster is sooo horrible why is Thrush making a knock off 40 series muffler??

@69camarodrvr
yea i see where you're coming from on that. and thrush is making that knockoff probably to just make money off of all the tools that go to flowmaster. if we're talking about the same muffler, its the one thats like $30 right? and i honestly think that about 80% of people who buy flowmasters are tools that only listen to what others say. the other 20% have researched how they can benefit from it.

Respond to this video...
for example i showed someone a video of glasspacks and they were like "eww that sounds like shit". showed them a flowmaster video "they sound amazing!". showed them a video of a glasspack and told them it was a flowmaster and they were like "they sound really amazing!". told them they were glasspacks and to my face he said "oh, they sound like ass"...just a bunch of tools man

@michaelmyers1993 We can go round and round about sound all day long, sound is a preference and everyone is entitled to their opinion, I'm totally ok with that, My concern was that you think the muffler doesnt perform according to the flowbench and I'm simply telling you that a flowbench is just a gimmick and using a chassis dyno is a proven piece of equipment. I will admit that Ive heard systems with FM that don't sound good but a lot of people also think a 40 series belongs on everything.wrong

@69camarodrvr
exactly. i wouldn't mind them if they had personality. i mean seriously they sound the same on every engine. a 454 sounds like a 318, 302, 265, 350 etc.
michaelmyers1993 1 year ago
@michaelmyers1993 I dont think the comparisons are that close but Flowmasters do have their own tone and there are like 12 options of series to choose from to give you different volumes and tones. I personally think that all glasspacks sound the same and the only thing that seperates them is the outside material (304 stainless or aluminzed steel). Dynomax, Magnaflow, Borla, Corsa, Thrush...all the same

@69camarodrvr
yea flowmasters just have the flowmaster tone to them, lots of people say they sound the same no matter what setup, and that whatever series it is determines the loudness of the flowmaster tone. you can hear what the actual engine sounds like with glasspacks seeing as they are basically a straight pipe
michaelmyers1993 1 year ago
@michaelmyers1993 I'm gonna agree to disagree, have you watched the Dynomax video where they test the mufflers on a 502? The video, while impressive to show goers is completely worthless, there's no H or X pipe and no tailpipes! Either way, this discussion was not about sound in the first place, I was only pointing out that a see through muffler is no better than a Flowmaster in performance just because a flow bench says so. Just out of curiosity, what do you drive?

in the works a 1971 chevelle ss454. currently a gmc sierra 1500
michaelmyers1993 1 year ago
@michaelmyers1993 Well, good luck with the Chevelle, I had one myself and loved the car. Make sure to post a video of it when you have it in running order and give a brakedown of the exhaust you choose to run. Maybe by the time you post a video I might have my 67 done (454 with 3 inch exhaust and Shorty Hushpower Pro-Series).

unfortunatley, these arent what i was looking for. anyone know any exhaust systems that minimizes the popping sound? and produces a very DEEP rumble sound?

0:17 what do heads mean?
stockedmuscle 1 year ago
@stockedmuscle its what the intake and exhaust valves set in and they are what the headers bolt up to for the start of your exhaust set up
97chevyZ71350 1 year ago
@97chevyZ71350 i dont know what that means exactly. can you explain it more. i know the headers and exhaust setup
stockedmuscle 1 year ago
@stockedmuscle the heads which you can see at :11 are the silver colored items on the top of the motor. they contain: the rocker arms, which pushes all of the valves open via the camshaft; the intake valves, which lets in the fuel/air mixture from the intake on top of the motor; and the exhaust valves, which let the gases from the burnt fuel out of the motor. i hope i explained it for you good enough. if not comment back and i will message you in greater detail about heads.

you guys should use a smaller engine like a 350 and not have it so beefed up it sounds amazing but i want to hear what these mufflers would sound like on my truck! thanks alot and great video!

I think you should make another video with a smaller motor closer to the average everyday motor you see running around. Like a 350/355 with a baby cam or something. I'm sure it would only be a change in overall volume but it would be cool, maybe even a mild big block maybe? I love flowmasters I put them on everything and maybe sometime soon I'm thinking a super 40 on my pocketbike. LOL!!!

This is the best flowmaster video ever! The audio quality was clean and clear the video was smooth. It's nice to see someone do a video thats NOT in a dyno room, it eliminates echo and gives the best comparison for real raw sound. And it was a great idea to set up a full exhaust system, creating the closest comparison of sound to what will be on the car. LONG LIVE FLOWMASTER!!!

Like the Super 10 Series! I have Super 40's on my 1970 GTO and a Super 44 on my 2004 Jeep GC 4.7 V8. I love the sound every Flowmaster gives. The perfect tone with the right amount of volume. I will always buy Flowmasters for any car I want to change the exhaust on.

Awesome vid!! Should do one with the 60 series for 4 bangers maybe a turbo ecotec one lol I could listen to flowmaster all day. Had a super 40 on my truck sounded amazing!!.
