Thanks, Sounds great! Thats the DIDO Flowmaster 40's? Although hard to tell it appears there is no drone. Are both pipes out the back or did you sweep them behind the tires? Lastly, what was the cost?

Meineke here quoted me $350 for dual flowmaster setup with Aluminized steel pipes and chrome tips but not mandrel bent....

Like the 40s man... have 40s on my 66 stang -- went with SISO 50 on my FX4 because I wanted something just a little bit quiter. Drones a bit on the freeway, but I actually don't mind it (even with a 3 day cross country trip, no complaints)... music is usually up louder anyways.

Sounds good!

did you say cutout at 95mph? I had mine doing 90 on the way home from picking it up - I would have gone the extra 5mph had I known I was so close

Has anyone tried cutting out the resonator and leaving the stock muffler on?

I have the Borla ATAK on mine. I will have to remember to get a video clip and post it on here. I will also write a review if you like. I've been so busy lately - I've only been on here twice in 2 months - so please remind me by PM if you are really interested in case I forget!

Magnaflow and Borla sound the best IMO. Flow through style mufflers sound better with time as they break in. Baffled mufflers such as Flowmasters sound like crap with all the crackling and drone.

Had a Flowmaster 40(14") SISO put in yesterday and man does that thing drone!!!! Just ordered a Magnaflow 18" Part#12246 to replace it. The tone on the Flowmaster sounds nice but the drone is deafening at 2k RPM's...
