ok...lets get a few things straight.case length does not determine the series.the 30 series measures 5"x10"x17" with an overall length of 23".its quieter than a 50 series.the 40 series is the original flowmaster and the loudest.its case measures 4"x10"x13" with an overall length of 19".the 50 series comes in suv,performance,and big block/truck and is quieter than the 40 series.the performance and the suv version measure 5"x10"x17" with a 23" overall length.the big block/truck version measures 5"x12"x22" with an overall of 28".the 70 series is also a big block/truck/rv muffler and is the quietest.it measures 5"x10"x22" with an overall of 28".the 80 series is not for camaros its a dual in dual out crossflow....camaros are single in dual outlet.the deltas are quieter than the regular flowmasters and make slightly better power and fuel economy.now.....there is no way a flow master will get louder until it has rotted to death.cut one open.theres nothing inside except some metal partitions the sound bounces off of....no baffling or packing at all.

it was an idea?
well generally i was going by case size since most people usually do 40 or 50 series on thier jeep. As far as Im concerned All exhaust systems will sound different as they age and continually heat cycle. Ive had flowmasters on 3 vehicles now, that either I or my family have owned, and they have gotten noticeably louder with age..same deal with my friends installs, not as much as a differnce when compared to a fiberglass muffler, etc. that can blow out with age, but there is a difference to my ears!

MAN! how many pages can you guys talk about flowmasters? does it really matter?
And yes flowmaster mufflers are not supposed to be able to get louder with age due to their construction. and yes the inside of a flowmaster has baffles that can't "blow" out. but in my experience it seems as though they do get louder with age. does this mean i am right? no. but it does seem that way?
maybe the increase in sound has something to do with you getting used to it and every once in a while you notice it it just seems louder? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah, well I had Flowmaster 40s on one of my previous cars. It was a bit louder the day I traded it in than the day I had the damn things installed. Like chrometj & JeepDOG, I can't explain it but the mufflers were louder after a couple years. |
