Thanx you guys. :bwgy:
ooh ooh, Pismo sounds fun
when is the trip, I wouldnt mind jumping up to join if I am free and have sum extra cash laying around.
And I think some body has flowmasters on here 40 series if I'm not mistaken. Maybe they (and others) will chime in.
I think that's what I have on my Ram too but its been awhile...
One note on the Flowmaster Super40...
I just bought an '01 with stock muffler. While driving back to Vegas from San Jose, I got 360 miles of range. When I got home, I put the Flowmaster from my '99 onto the '01... It KILLED the milage! It went down to 280 miles... so, I switched it back to stock.
Pros: GREAT sound... but not so loud that it attracts the Po-Po. Also light weight...
Cons: Very low back pressure... VX needs at least SOME! Killed the MPG and power. Power band had a flat spot during spirited acceleration. Switched to Stock muffler... power and mpg came back.
Question... is there an insert that can be installed that will increase backpressure, and not quiet it down too much?
I've seen the thread about the insert for quieting a low backpressure muffler, but not the other way around.
