What is the best all around muffler for a 4.9L 300? Just the muffler, not the whole setup....just something I could weld on if I think its worth the money. I don't really want to cut off the cat but maybe...
Thanks

I had some shop install some stupid muffler called a vr/vx and (Supposedly) by this mechanic Flowmaster lost its patent again and vr/vx was just a knock off but would sound the exact same as a Flowmaster 40. He said it would have the same baffling, metal placement and everything. Well I kept the stock pipes except for a chrome tip and is simply too quiet. during the summer i'll prolly cut this one off and weld in a actual Flowmaster 40 or glasspack. Youtube has some good videos with the i6.

I'd go with a glasspack or a series 10 flowmaster, the 40's aren't too loud in general, just louder than average.

flowmaster 10? The flowmaster chart shows the super 44 being the loudest...

Mr.Distance

Youtube some videos of it. I guess it depends on the engine really.

Its a 4.9l 300...as stated but the video of that blue f150 with the 40 series sounds great

Mr.Distance

I know that much, thanks for pointing out the title of the thread to me... I meant sound of different engines through that muffler.

gotcha well that blue ford is kinda what I'm after so I think a 40 or super 44 is what I'm looking at...

yep me too, i'm not going for as loud as much as I want it to sound real good and deep. The one I have now sounds like, like, well, NOTHING!
btw i also have the I6 4.9l

Its hard to get a deep rumble out of these 300's but it can be achieved kinda haha. Also thats my fear that I am going to buy a $80 muffler and it won't sound any better or it will sound whiney as my dirtbike.
