Had my Flowmaster 40 Delta muffler put in. Honestly, I can say that I amsomewhat disappointed with it. Very disappointed. :x

It drones like mad at 3000rpm, which is like what I cruise at on thehighway so its gonna be a real *****. And it has a can soundwhen I rev hard in gear.

Here's a 25sec (2MB) vid clip of the exhaust in a drive-by.

I'll prolly live with this sh*tty muffler for a while and get somethingelse next year if it totally annoys the hell outta me. :)

it doesnt sound THAT bad, honestly in the video you can't hear it until you nail it, but yea at high rpms, most of those mufflers do sound somehwta like a can, i guess all you can do is get another one sometime,or try some kind of silencer or something??

I think it sounds good, more like and intake roar to me. My friend put a glasspack in his piping and that quieted it down a little. For the road nois i have heard of putting dynomat or other sound deading stuff on the metal above the muffler

loud huh?It's the same muffler I run on the SS.

I do remember telling someone on here that asked about the 40 series that it would sound like crap at high RPMs...

I guess these mufflers do wonders for the Mustangs and Camarosbut do **** for the 240. I'm regretting this purchase, but I'mgonna live with this mistake for a while. Maybe get somethingbetter sounding next year.
