RE: Cat Back Exhaust - 12/3/2007 12:24:54 PM    casper3380 Posts: 366 Joined: 7/6/2007 Status: offline I myself am in the market for an aftermarket exhaust. I have a question for all flowmaster owners. I have read in other places and forums that some people have complained about loss of power after installing flowmasters, especially the 50 series. Is there any truth to this problem? I had planned on a flowmaster 50 single outlet this spring. If that is the case then maybe i should consider magnaflow or another. Please help answer this delema. _____________________________ 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 QC Hemi 5.7 4wd Mineral Gray Metallic (in reply to truckin151) Post #: 17

RE: Cat Back Exhaust - 12/3/2007 2:31:31 PM    Kooda   Posts: 96 Joined: 7/23/2007 Status: offline Casper...there are plenty of better flowing mufflers out there.  The Flowmater is NOT one of the best flowing mufflers, it is usually installed because people like the sound.  I got tired of the metalic sound the dern things make, but some people like it.

I dont want it too loud.  What would be some to consider then instead of the flowmaster? _____________________________ 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 QC Hemi 5.7 4wd Mineral Gray Metallic (in reply to Kooda) Post #: 19

There definately was no performance enhancement, so I'll go with the ever popular magnaflow. _____________________________ My truck is paid for!

RE: Cat Back Exhaust - 1/25/2008 8:38:52 AM    Sobomaster   Posts: 262 Joined: 2/23/2007 Status: offline I would just like to state that a single in, dual out magnaflow with echo tips sounds amazing. It's perfect. Even with MDS on. When it's in the V4 mode, it has a nice deep burbble, all the way through about 2,500 rpm and then after 4,000 rpm it just starts to wail real nice. The magnaflow basically amplifys what your truck sounds like stock, so it doesn't sound too altered or silly. The Flowmasters are most definitely louder than the Magnaflows though. _____________________________ '07 1500 Hemi QC Laramie (remote start, bluetooth, heated leather seats, 3.92 & LSD) K&N Intake Kit, Magnaflow SI/DO, Edge Prog., Backup Camera w/ 7" LCD in Sun Visor, Chrome Handles, Tint Other Vehicle: '08 Hummer H3 (in reply to Brother Rob) Post #: 25

RE: Cat Back Exhaust - 1/30/2008 1:10:46 PM    Sobomaster   Posts: 262 Joined: 2/23/2007 Status: offline The Flowmasters do not sound good with the MDS in 4 cylinder mode. The Magnaflow does, but it's quieter. If you're looking for any sort of performance gain, then don't get a Flowmaster. _____________________________ '07 1500 Hemi QC Laramie (remote start, bluetooth, heated leather seats, 3.92 & LSD) K&N Intake Kit, Magnaflow SI/DO, Edge Prog., Backup Camera w/ 7" LCD in Sun Visor, Chrome Handles, Tint Other Vehicle: '08 Hummer H3 (in reply to mfs212) Post #: 28
