I know there are a million exhaust threads but I'm looking for some information on this system on my particular model truck. Does anyone have any experience they would be willing to share with the Flowmaster Force II single side exit? My truck is a 2005 1500 5.3, anyone run this exhaust system on that model truck? The system I'm looking at has a 3" inlet and 3" outlet and exits behind the passenger rear wheel. Right now I have 3" pipes split via a Y-pipe from the cats back into dual exhaust straight out the back, no mufflers. I have had this system for 3 years and although I still think it sounds good it's just a little loud and I don't want to hear as much noise in the cab anymore all the time.

Get the GMPP Performance System with the single exit. I've had Flowmasters before and the cab drone is to much to bear.

The system I am looking at is the Super 50 series. Is this the system your friend has?

i am not sure ill ask him when i see him tommorow. he just said it was a force 2.

 

the drone is not as bad on my dual as it is on the side exit... and hes running no mufflers so i dont think a little drone will bother him.

Oh ok, well I deff. want mufflers that's why I'm looking to switch to a flowmaster system. I've been running no mufflers for over 3 years on this truck and a total of 4 additional years on 2 other trucks. So I'm ready for some mufflers but still want a more aggressive than stock sound.

Personally I'm not the biggest fan of flowmaster...I'm not crazy about the baffled design, which is really in place for sound resonating. It really can't be classified in the same degree of performance as mufflers from magnaflow, borla, corsa, dynmoax, etc that provide a REASONABLE reduction of back pressure...of course too little back pressure is bad.

 

As for sound, I like the richer, deeper tone produced by a straight through muffler. But, if you're just concerned with sound, flowmaster is your best bet.

Yea the sound is the main issue. I went ahead and had my local exhaust shop build me a 3" single side exit system with the 50 series flowmaster on Thursday. It is the same thing as the Force 2 just way cheaper. I am really happy with it. I like the way my truck drives now versus the pipes I had with no mufflers due to the addition of some backpressure. The biggest thing that I like is how much quieter it is now. That was my reason for switching to this system. That's why I picked the 50 series muffler, it is a quieter muffler with some good tone to it. I didn't want anything loud.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
