Author Topic: Flowmaster S40 Still Available???? (Read 1889 times)

Fowlhunter · « **on:** July 24, 2008, 07:45:45 AM »

Hello all!!!!
I've been getting a few quotes to have catback exhaust put on the Ole girl, I want to go with the Flowmaster S40 muffler but one of the shops said the S40 was no longer available. The best of the 3 or 4 quotes I received was $406. These are aluminized custom (crush) bent pipes with stainless tips. I checked the Flowmaster site and they still show the S40 so I assume it is still available? I want a nice rumble and everything I've read people say go with the S40!

Suggestions??
Thanks, FH

I bought my Gibson Dual Extreme aluminized system for $345 back in 2003. I installed it in the garage; I've been pretty happy with it other than the soft stainless tips that rock chip too easily.

I don't know how they are any more, but I had Compare Muffler put a system on my 94 Sonoma and they did good work. They are off the Cave Springs exit in a strip mall back behind Harbour Freight.

Hey Joe,
I forget the name of the exhaust shop but it's in the same strip close to the window tinting place (close to Target). The exhaust shop is on the end (left) when your looking at the strip. I've had 3 or 4 quotes and they were all pretty close in price but this shop was the cheapest. I couldn't find a shop that did mandrel bending only crush but I guess the price would have been a bunch more. I was going to do the Summit Flowmaster kit but it was $530.?? and I would still have to put it on.

You won't be disappointed. The AV I just bought had a 50 series on it and waaayyy too quiet! I took it to the muffler shop and had them cut it off and install a 40 series and it sounds much better.

Thanks guys, I can't wait, I'm ready to leave work now!!!

The guy at the exhaust shop said I will notice a difference in mileage, I said very cool!!!! He said no, at first you will see your mileage drop (first couple of tanks) because I wont be able to keep my foot out of it!!!!!!

He's too busy burning up a tank of gas to post here tonight. I'm sure he can't wipe the S-E-G (think about it!) off his face.

I'm here! I was working in my buddies garage, we have been working on the duck blind. We build all the sections in the garage so everything is pre-assembled once we get to the river on Sat & Sun.

What do I think, WOW!! It's awesome!! The place I went to is not the best looking but this guy does great work!

The Ole girl sounds pretty stout now!!!!

And it's not just the first couple tanks... I've had my FM 40s on for a year now and still can't keep my right foot off the floor
