I find my 94 5.0 really quiet and want to make it sound better and louder, would just replacing the muffler with a flowmaster, keeping everything else stock sound good? or would something else sound better? I dont want to put a lot of money into it though|||take off your catalytic converters, run an x pipe, to super 44 flowmasters, some headers and this car will sound AMAZINGLY NICE, i love that mustang sound with a nice exhaust, i have a msutang myself and i get compliments with the sound of mine all the time. not really that expensive either if you look around.|||The FlowMasters will improve the exhaust tone. It'll give it a nice low rumble with a V8. I have them on my '66 Stang.|||Yes it will be a good investment for you. However, the 40 series are raunchy loud. It will be a significant Db increase over the stock Mufflers. Stick with 2 1/4 or you'll knock torque out of it, too.
One of the best things you can do for about $15 is to buy a box of Rocker Arm Pedestal Shims and put them under each rocker arm bridge. You should be able to get away with at least a .030 shim under each rocker arm bridge and still have sufficient preload so the rocker arm does not make noise. Torque each rocker arm pedestal back to 20-23 ft lbs. Then tug on the pushrod and make sure it doesn't rattle.(The valve will have to be completely shut and not on any opening/closing ramp of the cam when you do this.I would do one cylinder at a time and put that cylinder at or around Top Dead center at the compression stroke before you attempt to pull the rocker arms off of that cylinder.) If it does rattle, it will want a little less shim thickness. On those stock engines, I see about .060 pre load on them untouched. This of course is ridiculous. On a side note: The more pre load a Hydraulic lifter has, the more power it will cost and certainly the more it sets the lifter up for valve float, as well as the earlier in the revs float will occur. Stock, she'll scream to about a 5200 RPM shift point and have considerably more low RPM punch.
You will gain extremely noticeable power from idle and throughout. It will also clean up the idle quality, you'll find an extra 500 RPM on the top end and you will gain Gas Mileage. Other than the exhaust note with the Flowmaster, you'll gain a hell of a lot more doing this than you will from a Muffler swap. However, do a muffler swap and let it go.
I would run Royal Purple 75W90 gear oil exclusively in the rear end and in the transmission if you have a 5 Spd.
Keep a 195 degree Thermostat in it, as that keeps sludge away and condensate boiled out of the oil.

What's a good flowmaster muffler and tip for a 1995 eagle talon?
If maybe u could provide a link with pictures or a site where I could actually buy them, I would greatly appreciate it.|||Walker Dynomax Ultra Flow Muffler and stainless steel tip for the '95 Eagle Talon are for sale at Rockauto.com auto parts.
Here is a diagram of the Walker Dynomax exhaust system: http://www.rockauto.com/ref/Walker/Detai鈥?/a>

Will a Flowmaster super 40 muffler be loud on an f150?
My buddy has a jeep wrangler with the inline 6 4.0 engine with a flowmaster super 40 muffler. I was wondering if that muffler on my f150 5.4l v8 will be just as loud. His is very loud.|||should be loud and sound great on your 351w
Which muffler is better dual Magnaflow or Flowmaster?
I have a 96 Camaro 3.8l v6 and i want to give it a nice growl noise, i want some performance and better mpg. Which one would sound real aggressive on my car dual flowmaster or dual magnaflow???|||You can get on Youtube and look up exhaust videos for your car with each exhaust.
One person might prefer Flowmaster while someone else prefers Magnaflow. The sound is a personal preference.
Also the HP/MPG gain for each catback is virtually the same, so in my opinion the decision between the two would be based solely on sound and cost.|||Yeah it's pretty much down to personnal prefference in sound. I tend to prefer Flowmaster for the tinny throaty sound. However, those F bodies have extremely low floor boards so you can't really get duals on it without having your pipes hang super low and scrape every speedbump from here to Texas. Both MagnaFlow and Flowmaster have a special muffler jst for this car. It has the inlet on the same side as one of the outlets and the other outlet on the opposite side. One last thing to add a growl is the ressonance chambers, or tips.

Can you use one of the outlets on a flowmaster super 44 as the intake?
Im gonna install this muffler on my 2002 Grand Am Gt. I need some tips. SOME HELP|||It's called the outlet for a reason...
Is there a Flowmaster muffler that fits a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500?
Such as one of the Super 44 Series mufflers? I need to make sure so please help!|||There should be. Just make sure you know what size exhaust you have and then search the flowmaster website and it will give you the part number of the muffler you want.
Should I add anything 2 the Flowmaster Super 44 exhaust,maybe a dual exhaust tip,for better sound/performance?
I put on a cold air intake and get 22-25 mpg on a 95 Isuzu rodeo,hope the exhaust makes a difference too
I plan on keeping the Isuzu or at least making these little investments until resale, the next owner will probably be glad I did.
The cold air intake has already paid itself off this year with rising gas $$.|||the tip won't change the performance any at all and it's possible it will change the sound a tad but nothing really noticible, also i find it hard to believe a cold air intake would increase your gas mileage enough to pay for itself in a years time.|||Found a good deal for a K%26amp;N Apollo air intake for $90 and now I get +4 mpg. Since I fill up the 20 gal. tank about every two weeks, you can do the math, but it has saved me gas so far.
