Hey guys sorry about this but i'm asking what the difference between the original 40 series, the delta flow, and the super 40 is? I can get either of the 3 from this performance shop. I have the magnaflow catback, but its way to quiet for me. I want to set off alarms again, disturb the peace. lol. I know there's this droning or resonance issue everyone talks about, but im just wondering which 40 is the deepest/loudest, and least annoying when cruising. I plan to go for the original, but i hear the delta is a little quieter.

 

btw: I DO know how to use the search box, and have a lot.

Super is the loudest.

Original is the second loudest.

Delta is a little quieter with less interior resonance.

 

All of this is explained on Flowmaster's website. I have a Delta 40 and wouldn't have it any other way. Some people swear by the Super 44's.

 

The 40 series is probably the loudest of all the street legal flowmasters and is where you'll get the loudest sound for your money.

Hey Derek, I have the 40 series out the rear into 2 and its great. It really sounds good from 3300 rpm's and up. That 5.3 can really sing.

 

However, I do think at times it's a little loud in the cab. not real bad cursing around, but at highway speeds it's a little annoying after awhile. I just kind of tune it out these days.... :lol:

 

I'm with Alan on the Delta 40 or even the 50 series if I was to do it over again, but hell I'm kind of old so it gets to me more than it use to.

 

If you're looking for a lot of sound inside and out the 40 is what you want. :lol:

I have the delta 40 series on my 95. It has a nice rumble at idle and going down the road, but at WOT it sounds great. My wife always knows I am coming when I turn in to our addition. Interior wise, it sounds great. I could hear my radio and did not get fed up with the sound even when pulling my trailer in drive.

 

I ran for a little while (before I moved to TX) without a cat. It would be a little to loud for me now, but I was younger and in college and I liked it then.

thanks for all the input, i appreciate it. I've narrowed it to the original or the delta... i have to ponder it for the next week before i go buy it. An original 40 is only $80 at this place i know so i think i may lean that way.

 

66Nova, nice ride on the trailer man :lol: . My dad has an old 65 nova with the deluxe interior, he said i could drop an engine into if i wanted. I have a nice 350 4 bolt i'm going to rebuild and stroke to 383. That car would haul ass.... only weighs around 2000lbs. i got the engine for free so i can't go wrong, along with a free turbo 400 trans..

Thanks Man! I have a lot of fun in it. It's the way I leave my work week behind. By the way, it has 2 Super 40's on it. Although, Magnaflow's flow better, you can't beat that Flow Master sound.

Alright, so I finally got my exhaust clip on youtube. It will take awhile to load because I used a digital camera, and the file is huge.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
