FloMaster muffler installed

[Edward]

I just had a 40 series Flomaster put on at the muffler shop...
Woh it's much louder inside!! The outside sounds nice it's a deep rumble but it's rumbles too much inside... should I have put a 50 series on like I wanted (the manger said the 40 would be fine he didn't have a 50) or can I put some sort of reflector shield above my muffler to quiet down the interior noice...? any suggestions..?

You could Dynamat the interior.

You could install a heat sheild, and it "might" reduce the noise slightly, but chances are youd still have to remove the muffler again to get it in, and find/pay for one..not really worth the effort or expence IMHO.... Id take it back and see if you cant get them to change it out because your not satisfied..

Okay, now i know theres at least THREE OTHER VX's between West Palm And Jupiter.. I have yet to see any of you guys...

they do not list a same side in and out in a 50 series.that is why i had a 40 series installed too. i was told that if i changed the exaust tip to the same size as the pipe it would quiet it done.the 3 inch tip works like a megaphone making it louder.i have not had the chance to try changing the tip.that would be the first thing i would try. shawn

What kind of performance gains did you all notice with the Flowmaster?

[Edward]

I just contacted the shop I had it done(NPB Muffler) The manger is being a jerk he says there would be no difference in interrior noise with the delta flo 50 series. He doesn't believe what flomaster says... and he wouldn't install a 50series for the difference in price! Flowmaster suggested I try exhuast wrap on some of the piping and top of the muffler..?

Thanks guys for your reply... this is a cool site.
PS I haven't had a chance to noticed the performance increase because stepping on the gas is sooo loud I am amazed by the noise alone.

[Edward]

Thanks John!
I am going to look into Dynashild Spray... to spray the under carrage or maybe right on the muffler if it can take the heat..It say's it's non flamable.

I know you don't get the salt we do up here in Michigan but undercoat shops will inject sound deadeners inside panels and spraycoat your undercarriage .Makes A HELLUVA DIFFERENCE .Or you can strip your car apart and dynamat .Injected sound deadening is less costly and more effective .My .02

More flow doesn't always mean more hp.

Um, didn't he want LESS rumble?

[Chopper]

Good advice on the duals; There is a company(Aero Tech?) that makes a" turbo" (think Thrush Hush) style muffler. Quiet at idle, reasonable at cruise, an' Roar at acceleration. The old school way is sometimes the best. You even pick up a few equines in the process. Check it out.

Thanks for the replies.. I have a single flomaster 40series.. and It's rumble (humming noise) inside at certain rpm's will hurt your ears... anyway so far I think I am going try to take off the large tip to help the inside vibration humming.. sounds like an easy sensible solution..
But tonight other problems... the AC fan stopped!!!!! (fuse is fine) Darn.... not good especially when the windows don't work good anyway!!!!!
