I'm getting a new exhaust for my 97 2.5L Venge and I'm stuck deciding on a flowmaster 40 seriesor magnaflow. I just wanted to know if anyone had any expertise on which one is better sounding. thanks

 

hey man i guess im the right guy for this, considering iveheard the exact ones that u are wanting... well first off, i have the Flowmaster 40 series on my venger... its def. the best sounding exhaust out of the 2. but its still not very loud. when i hit certain rpm's the sound like almost dies on me. ive been wanting to get a high flow catalytic converter to help out the sound but havent had time to yet. i also heard the magnaflow and to tell u the truth there wasnt much of a diff from a stock sound to magnaflow sound. i dont know if it is just our cars motors arent big enough to produce a good sound out of the mufflers but to me flowmaster was still the best sounding out of the 2. so if u are planning on either, i would defenetely suggest getting a high flow catalytic converter to help out the sound.
i bought my flowmaster 40 at a muffler shop down the road and it ran me about $111 for purchase and installation.
Thanks a lot
Tell me what u go with.

thanks, i think i'm gonna go for the flowmasters too. does the hi flow cat really make that much of a difference sound wise?

 

well i my brother had a high flow cat put on his exhaust just because his old cat was filled with junk. and his high flow made a big difference in the sound.. it def made it louder. but like i said i never had the time to go out and get a high flow for my venge so im not sure how much louder it will make ours tho.. but yes it will for sure make it louder.

 

Hey monkeywrench did u get ur flowmaster on ur venge yet?

 

i've got the flowmaster 40 on my 2.5l and it sounds good. gets a good gurgle-ish sound on the down-rev. i could try to get a video up if you want to hear it.

 

yea.. it does sound good on the down rev i agree... mine sounds great anywehre under 3000 rpm's thenthe sound just dies... u should post the vid up i would be interested to see if urs sounds any diff then mine lol... do u have a hi flow cat on ur venge airman?
