flowmaster 40 or 50 HEEEELLPPP - 1/22/2008 11:34:11 AM    ehhget Posts: 359 Joined: 1/22/2008 Status: offline I have a 01 Silverado 5.3 with a Flowmaster Delta 50 single in dual out on it.  I love it but it is a little to quiet for me.  I am thinking of changing ot a 40 series. Problem is I have a DVD system for my 2 year old daughter that she loves to watch and I dont want it to be to loud on the inside if I change to the 40. If anyone has made a change like this or has driven in two trucks with 40's and 50's that could shed some light on the difference I would appreciate it- thanks guys. Post #: 1

I had a regular 40 on my 5.4 liter ford with duals and the interior noise wasnt bad at all. Now that I have my Chevy, I have the smaller 4.8 liter or something like that, anyway, I have the Super 40 with turn downs and it has quite alot of interior noise, not sure if it would be much less if it had duals out the back or not. I do know according to flowmaster that the Super 40 is louder than the regular 40, so I would say if you got the regular 40 and put duals on it out the back, you shouldnt have a problem. _____________________________ (in reply to 06chevy5.3) Post #: 4

Well anyway let me tell you the sound addictive day i had at the muffler shop.... First i had the super 40 put on.....left the shop and returned within 5 minuites,(was only loud when you tread on it 1500 rpms or more and not a bit when you let of the gas... So had it cut off Second went with the old style 40 series 2 chamber,(equivelent to the now super 44) love it nice sound and a low rumble at low rpm,s and crusing speeds but hit it and wow!!!! So i will keep this ........BUT heard a truck like mine at the shop with a 1 chamber bomb and it rumbled loud at idle and as it left BOOOM BBBOM so i think not. Gotta stop at some point and say enough Me like the 2 chamber So will put the 50 on Dad's truck but if anyone wants a super 40 driven 1 mile and cut off let me know i will make you an excellent offer!!!!!!!!!!!! _____________________________ 2007 Chevrolet Silverado EXT.CAB.

LOL  I know how you feel, I was gonna do the 40 Delta but the guy at the shop told me he does not stock it - to whimpy that is why he only has the original 40 so I said do it and I'm glad I did.  I love driving slow like when you are coming up to your house, it has a nice low rumble that you can really hear but it does not blow your neighbors windows out at 2 in the morning like a 1 chamber.  Too bad you had to buy three mufflers to get it right- ahh put the other one on your wifes car or your lawnmower ha ha. _____________________________ 01 Silverado 5.3L 4X4 01 Camaro SS LS1 SLP 70 Nova SS 350 (in reply to Mcguinness) Post #: 10
