I found this one on youtube...   I was supposed to have my very special flowmaster 40 muffler " :cacrocks" " installed this weekend but I ran out of mod cash :( 

Guess I'll have to wait till next week.

I had the Flowmaster 40 with Magnaflow tips put on. I had both tips brought out just behind the passenger rear wheel. Looks and sounds great I think.

I had the aluminized Gibson Dual Extreme on my truck for 6-7 years but recently changed it out for a single out Hooker Maximum Flow because I recently added a cam and wanted maximum exhaust flow. I liked the Gibson; it had a nice sound at idle and had a nice growl when you had your foot in it but was quiet and had zero drone.

Exhaust is a very personal thing; drone in the cab doesn't bother some people but drives others nuts. The best thing you could do is attend a large GTG and listen to as many different systems as you can - take a ride, don't just listen to idle and revving.

I have the FM 40 Series and I get noticeably less cab noise when I ran them out the back as opposed to out the sides.    :coolsmiley:
