I have a flowmaster 40 Series Delta Flow muffler on my car and I love it. It sounds very deep and aggressive. I'm probably going to make a sound clip of it when it gets warmer out.

95SEfreak

where did you buy it and how long have you had it and is it in good shape?

I got it about 3 years ago from an exhaust shop. At the time I had a custom 2.5" b-pipe made for me and the muffler was added in the deal. I then later got rid of the b-pipe and just bought a budget b-pipe w/resonator. They sell these mufflers on ebay though for pretty cheap. The muffler is holding up pretty well. There's a little rust around the welds but nothing bad. If you do go with the flowmaster, I suggest getting a resonated b-pipe or you can just keep your stock resonator on there.

That flowmaster will fit the stock b right? I'm hoping to do the flowmaster with new y-pipe and cat converter in the next couple months (sometime in the summer). Hoping for a nice sound.

One question: Is the magnaflow better than the flowmaster?

95SEfreak

so can i just order any flowmaster 40 series from a site or is there a catback version...... also i was looking at the differt types of 40 series and hwo do you think it would sound with dual outlet and i can put the pipes on each side of car

Too much work to get a dual exhaust. Say goodbye to your spare tire

I might be getting a custom dual exhuast. Some places around me do some custom work so I'm gonna talk to them and see if they can do dual from cat-back then put mufflers on. Custom should actually run me close to what the greddy sp2 runs for. So I'm hoping that works out.

Greddy SP2> Custom Dual...IMO....but flomaster does not make a cat-back for our cars....jsut buy a SS Delta Flow 40 and have an exhaust shop mate it...get a nice tip too...

Caracicatriz

Like I said before, just make sure the b-pipe has a resonator.

95SEfreak

yea i really like the SP2 but its not quite loud enough for my taste

95SEfreak

oh and why the resonator is it really raspy without one?

Cdg2125

iTrader: (7)

You got a dyno page for that Greddy sp2>dual? somehow I wonder about that...

95SEfreak

is there a way to make the SP2 louder sorry so many posts just want to buy the right thing the first time im not talking fart cannon loud but just louder than the OEM exhaust at crusing speed i really appreciate all you guys info

i a cheap *** piece of **** ebay budget muffler and it sounds pretty good, no resonator though. does a custom resonator make it really loud? im gonna switch to a magnaflow universal muffler this summer though. should i get a magnaflow resonator with it?

95SEfreak

you have any sound clips of this pos ebay muffler lol? and i believe the resonator quiets it im new to the whole max world

aih98max

iTrader: (3)

no, but tomorrow when i get my digital camera, ill make one and post it up. it actually sounds ok, but it cuts out when i get above like 2700 rpm's. does anybody know what the deal is? why does it do that?

Caracicatriz

iTrader: (3)

Yeah, it get's really annoying.
It's called Laminar and Turbulent Flow and it probably has something to do with resonance.

i have flowmaster 40 series too and u do need a resonator....it sounds really good tho..unique for a maxima

Haibert88

I've got a Magnaflow dual tip muffler on my 5speed I30t...it sounds SWEET specially after the car warms up...but, with 2 or more people inside the car the droaning starts to take over, specially on up hill climbs. Otherwise it sounds very deep and rumbles the floor when I rev it. I've got a Y pipe too with a resonator of course.

my flow master mixed with my budget y pipe sets off car alarms at start up. its VERY deep.

95SEfreak

black which flowmaster do you have maby a link and did you use stock B pipe

jdmaxima89

Would that be my 5 gen with the flowmaster? If not... go to my cardomain site... all I have is a stillen intake and that muffler. The video is there.

I have a 40 series and i got the resonator removed the car sounds good and isnt real loud its real deep and mellow, and i can easily set off car alarms especially when i first start the car up, i think it sound real good on the maxima.

95SEfreak

jdmaxima sounds great and it was the one i saw and jt8alti there been alot of speculation about GET A RESONATOR with the flowmaster bec ause it will be really raspy do oyu have that problem?

Blackwind

iTrader: (9)

im not certian on the series i was told its a 60 but it is a few years old. i can send you pics if you need, but no sound bites. and yeah its a stock b pipe. ill just say this my car can be heard at least 1000 feet from my front door, its very distinct, and thats why i like it.

i like the flowmasters, but ive heard REALLY good things about magnaflow street series mufflers. they also have them with so many different styles of tips. this summer im gonna get rid of my ebay cheap thing, and get a magnaflow hooked up to my stock b-pipe and resonator. is it true that a single wall tip is louder than a dual wall tip? ive heard this before.

aih98max

iTrader: (3)

answer someone

Cdg2125

iTrader: (7)

I've heard good things about both. I'm gonna look online to try to find a discount or something and decide betweeen magnaflow or flowmaster.

i like the look of the 5x8 oval magnaflow mufflers, and id like to get a dual tip. would that fit on a 98 GXE with a stock rear bumper? it would be cool if it did. also, if anybody wants to hear my cheap ebay muffler, im gonna try and post a sound/video clip today in the Exhaust Clip Compilation.

stupid question from a stupid person, a max catback will fit an I30 no problem right?

Haibert88

Yea it will.

My SP2 sounds just right

iTrader: (1)

I'm looking for a sound like the g35, 350z or m3 ...that deep crisp low tone....no hints of raspy or bee's in the can even with a full car. i dont want to set off car alarms neither. What should i get?

95SEfreak

well i think ima go with a flowmaster 40 series stock b pipe and resonator and budget y pipe but what about cat remove or not? im in florida so no emission laws i like loud and noticable but not too loud maby a test pipe or custom make a straight threw cat? any input will really help BTW its my bday w00t w00t the big 18 haha

aih98max

iTrader: (3)

lol thats great man. i just turned 18 yesterday. im actually thinkin about goin the same route as you with exhaust, cuz i dont like my cheap ebay shizzle. i actually might go with a magnaflow muffler thou cuz they have damn nice lookin tips and they look damn good.

Cdg2125

iTrader: (7)

Ok can someone let me know what the difference of the #'s for the flowmaster? What's the difference between 40 series and 80 series? Airflow?

Haibert88

I think to have that G35 sound you need to start with the headers.

95SEfreak

mmm 350z's sound so nice but soon as i order my flowmaster and y pipe ill make a video and post and anyone know a good site to order some nice tips from? oh and happy late birthday froto

I also have a 40 Series Flowmaster on my 96. As others have said, a deep mellow tone with a little boominess at about 2500 to 2800 RPMs, then it quits down. I barley hear mine when cruising at 70 or above, so I love it. I get a little tone, and still get a nice quiet cabin at highway speeds. It was installed at a local shop here in Raleigh for $200 even and was attached to the stock system. A regular chrome tip was added, and mine fits closer to the bumper valance.
