Hey whats up....For your info: "40 series" are louder that the "30 series"..The interior noise will be louder with the "40 series"....The "30 series" will be better for performance..

I think you should go with what you think sounds better!!!! [Big Grin] The horse power difference will be very slight on a car such as yours.. [patriot]

i have 40 series flows and a BBK off road H. When I had the 3.27's in the rear it sounded great cause i'd cruise at about 2000 RPM's now that I have the 4.10's in the rear and I cruise at about 2600 RPM's it kind of gets annoying and makes me think I'm going deaf. Two scenario's for you from the same car. I think it all dpends on what else you have on it and how hard you drive it. I like the sey up though but I'll probably end up switching back to a catted pipe someday but today just ain't the day [worship] [burnout] [dance]

I agree, you say you want loud Lauren, then definalty go with 1 chambered flows! Although you will love the sound with your 40 series along with offroad H, you will want louder some time. Ill let you hear my setup at the meet Lauren! [Wink] [Big Grin]

If you want to hear what 40 series 2 chamber flows sound like, check this out,

http://www.cafords.com/mpg/08_03_02/Yellow94GT_vs_Threesixes.mpg

People will preech and preech about mufflers all day long. The horse power gains and loses between the different brands aren't even worth the argument. [patriot]

I have spent a large majority of my life around mustangs, a mustang with flows, is just how a mustang is supposed to sound IMO. But it is all personal preference. <---Jim is a bitch
