Do the muffler first. Then make the second decision.

Thanks for your input!

If you have the factory dual exhaust setup, the "resonators" are built into the exhaust near the spare tire.

Otherwise you have a standard canister resonator like on K2 trucks.

The resonators make a huge difference in terms of loudness.  You may not like just the flow master if your looking for loud sound

Did  flowmaster 40 on my truck and was PISSED! It was barely noticeable. I covered the mesh screen with some aluminum tape. Made all the difference in the world. Get rid of them!!!!

So how do you remove resonator on truck with factory dual exhaust or can you just put aluminum tape over the mesh?  Are there any performance loss when covering the mesh?

Yea I just covered all three of my mesh screens and it makes a huge difference! Any negative to doing this?

The mesh is just the integrated resonator. There to diffuse the sound and make it quieter from what I understand.

What’s the difference between the original 40 and the super 40?

I put a 40 series on my lt today. It’s pretty quiet. Y’all are saying if I cover the mesh after the muffler it’ll wake it up quite a bit?
