if im not mistaken i believe the delta flow where specifically designed to be quieter

 

re: bigger pipe after muffler

Whenever you increase the size of pipe, no matter where in the exhaust, you will increase flow. However, there is no point in increasing the size of the pipe after the muffler if you are not going to increase whatever is in FRONT of the pipe. Sounds contradictory, but it makes sense. Increasing the diameter of the tail-pipe will make very little or no difference to the sound of your exhaust. Your best best is to have your muffler shop install a cat back, but since you already have the new muffler, have them increase the size of pipe between your CAT and the muffler. Better yet, if you can, get a high-flow, 50-state legal CAT. If you're REALLY lucky, and live in Alberta Canada, get rid of the CAT altogether.

I think it's pretty rare for a muffler to be deffective.

 

you can get rid of the cat, and fabricate a kind of pipe that would bolt on to the space of where the cat used to be. when it comes time for a smog test, just bolt on your cat again. just a thought.

yea but don't you get malfunction/check engine lights on your dash if you do that?

 

like i said, its just a thought. although wasnt there a way to get around the malfunction lights or something ?

 

If you increase pipe size, you may in reality decrease flow, and decrease low end torque. As you increase pipe size the exhaust gases cool too soon and do not move out of the pipe quickly enough at normal driving RPM's. At high RPM's the gases are able to move freely out of the exhaust, and this is why you feel more pull in the higher rev's with a larger pipe.
So pipe size becomes a trade off, and it depends on what you prefer.

 

i put a small glass pack muffler in line before my 50 flow and cant be happer.

 

What kind of a change did this make? less drone?

YEAH DO U HAVE A SOUND CLIP

 

THANKS FOR THE REPLYS, IM WAITING TO HEAR W THE GLASSPACK. aND ILL PROB GO TO MY MUFFLER SHOP AND GET SOME IDEAS. I BELIEVE FLUX SAID IT GETS LOUDER WITH TIME ABOUT 1000 MILES OR SO, IVE GOT BOUT 600 WITH THE MUFFLER AND NO CHANGE YET.. I GUESS ILL GIVE IT A BIT MORE TIME AND MAYBE DO A CATBACK WITH 2.5 INCH PIPING, IF IT DONT GET LOUDER AND MORE TONE. AS FOR TAKIN OUT THE RESONATERS IT WOULD PROB NOT PASS INSPECTION IN NYS, THEY ARE TOUGH WITH THAT STUFF, AND DONT WANT TO MESS W THE CAT.

 

If you want it louder just cut the pipe off at the muffler, u might lose some torque but gain sound, if thats what you want.

 

ok guys just got a new camera with video will try to take a sound bit

what is the point of this? Like a resonator?

 

here ya go!!! this was taken in my garage so its sound louder than it is.

 

Flowmasters won't get louder over time. They are a all metal baffle system, not a glass packed muffler. If you are wondering why your flowmaster isn't deep sounding, it is because it is missing two cyclinders. Flowmasters IMO only sound good on V8s. You will not find a deep note out of our v6s.

 

I used to have a 94 gmc sonoma with the v6 and I have a dynomax muffler, $50 straight from advance discount auto, and it truely sounded like I had a v8. I even had a few people ask me if it was v8, because of the low tone. I've been thinking here lately about getting one again.

 

Was it a straight thru or was it the turbo series dynomax?

 

how bout just a glass pack and no cats or resonators hehe. jk. i think im gona get a borla or something of that sort

 

I have the Borla system for 1.5 years now and i love it. I just bought another Borla muffler and i decided im going to true dual it out!! Cant wait till its done..:whatwhat:
