John and I installed a Flowmaster Super 40 today on the Berli where the cat used to be. Someone else was there who deserves props but didn't want his name mentioned. Anyways, it's very loud. _________________

Yes, someone didn't want any credit for that job! And yes, that Super 40 is LOUD! It sounds awesome at idle, but the drive back to Renton was hellish! _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

Did you just end after the muffler or go all the way back? _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

just the muffler, but it sounds like it may be too loud for John _________________

I wouldn't want the muffler to end right there either. I drove my car with an open y-pipe for a few weeks and it was deafeningly loud. (of course) _________________ 84 Camaro Z28 - LS1/T56

What time did you get into Renton, and did you go by the ampm. ? I may have heard it. |

It wouldn't be nearly as loud to you while driving if you ran the exhaust out the back of the car. |

Back when I had the 99 mustang I had the y-pipe break off where the passenger side manifold dumped into it.
When the defrost is on, the A/C compressor is used to dry the air. The water condensates on the evaporator and drips down and out of a vent. Ford was clever enough to position that vent directly above the weld on the exhaust. So one morning on the way to work I get about 5 miles from home and I can hear a pinging sound. The sound grew progressively louder as I drove. Just outside of the gate it snapped clean off and unleashed the horrible sound of half a V6 at the manifold. I was lucky that the gate sentry was kind and let me on base.

I went by the AM/PM in the Renton Highlands at about 7:30. |
