Flowmaster''s soft - 6/20/2008 2:35:34 PM    gstrat323   Posts: 24 Joined: 4/11/2008 Status: offline Well I''ve been waiting to put this Flowmaster Super 44 on my 2001 chevy blazer v6 and today i had it finnally installed. However it''s not nearly as loud as i expected. I was short on money so i had the technician keep my stock piping and tailpiping thats only 2.25 and i think that might be part of the reason it doesn''t rumble really well? I mean its louder but not much louder now. Any advice? Post #: 1

Some people think Flowmasters are loud, some think they are not. Either way, you''re not going to make a 4.3L V6 sound like a big V8. _____________________________ 2002 Blazer LS 4dr 2WD Auto Trans Hypertech PP III Programmed Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow Muffler, C6 Corvette Exhaust Tip TYC Elegante carbon fiber tail lights (in reply to gstrat323) Post #: 2

I think its the best Flowmaster muffler. You''re probably not going to find anything much better for under $100. And I didn''t change the muffler pipe sizing. There''s really no point unless you''re going to put headers on your truck. (in reply to gstrat323) Post #: 4

The next thing I''ll look into doin is maybe like a hi flow cat or something. And actually i think its alittle bit louder now than it was when i first put it on. Do flowmasters usually break in?

Where did you get you 44 Series??? How much was the entire installation??? I want a guide point on what i should spend on this. (in reply to gstrat323) Post #: 6

Yes, in my experience and that of my exhaust man, Flowmasters do get slightly louder over time. _____________________________ 2002 Blazer LS 4dr 2WD Auto Trans Hypertech PP III Programmed Flowmaster 50 Series Delta Flow Muffler, C6 Corvette Exhaust Tip TYC Elegante carbon fiber tail lights (in reply to gstrat323) Post #: 8
