it was pretty cheap, i live in northern california, and theres alot of nice little shops out here to chose from. mine i was refered to by a friend thats had stuff done there too.

at midas i was quoted 275 to start, so i think it all depends on where you go and how much they charge for labor.

and the 50 series is definately noticeable, but not overly loud. it just has a really nice growl to it that sounds the way a v8 should sound.

im still trying to decide what i want because im pretty dang sure i'll be getting them soon. it seems most like the 50's so i may go with that. and how will the muffler be installed? I would like to do the work myself but i dont have a welder or saw which i assume will be needed.

50's or the 70 series. I liked the super 44 till I heard crackling upon release of the throttle. I like rumbles not rattles. Just my thought though. You can listen to what they have here - http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/index.php?cat=1

And this is the reason I like MagnaFlow as my favorite. No drone and a great healthy sound that's not too loud. Louder is the 18" all the way up to the 24" which you don't loose the sound it just isn't as loud. I personally LOVE the MagnaFlow 24" series. Great for hunting and not pissin off the neighbors very much but a great healthy sound.

I agree.

I have the 50 series Delta Flow and it is perfect for my tastes. Read, I'm not 20 anymore. lol

Here's inside with the windows up and WOT:

That's the point on the exhaust. Just a nice rumble and enough that people turn their heads to see what's making that sound but quiet enough to be able to hear passengers in the back at normal conversation levels. Wife approves also.

In town mpg stayed exactly the same after the gear swap. I get 14 mpg but now it's a blast in town. I did lose 1-2 mpg on the hwy. It's at about 15 hwy mpg now.

I did the swap to help with towing. My stump grinder and trailer weigh in at 7,000 lbs and it pulls it with authority now. Was a little sluggish with the stock 3.56:1 gears.
