Flowmaster stamps thier part number on the back of the muffler. You can kinda see it in the first pic. That will tell you exactly what muffler you have.
It says "INLET" on the front side of the muffler, and I can't see anything on the rear side. Is that "INLET" what you were talking about? Or is there something else that I'm not seeing?

Why would it cause you to lose low-end?

I talked to Flowmaster and they do stamp them on the "outlet" side, but I have looked and can't find anything. My FM looks wider than the one in the picture.

Thanks Batman. You can clearly see the 3 or 4 triangular baffles inside. Based on that picture, mine is clearly the original 40 series.

In theory, bolt-ons that would raise horsepower necessarily do it at a higher RPM, and sometimes low-end torque is lost in favor of high-end power. I've noticed this with air filters. Perhaps the exhaust has had this effect also. If so, the 5.2L is REALLY grunty, because it gets out of Dodge, so to speak, pretty dadgum quick...and that's with 50-lb 32" tires.
