Went over myUncle's the other day, and to my suprise he got me a Flowmaster 50 for X-Mas, which ive had my eyes on for the last month! I hear its not as loud as the 40, but is still pretty loud, and sounds great.

My question though is, will I be a magnet to cops with this thing around town? Whether at idle, or gasing it? I've been lucky enough with my truck for not getting pulled over for oversized tires with no fenders[knock on wood], and if cops are hearing me come around the corner, its more reason for them to pull me over. Ive heard sound clips of the 40 'n 50 on Youtube, but that isnt the same as being infront of one.

Would love your 2 cents!

 

just drive it normal and keep your eyes on your speed and you will be fine , its when u act like an A$$ Is when the problems start , hell in my area if there is a cop at the sheetz we start talking about my truck and how he like the note the exhaust gives

 

When you say acting like an ***, meaning being a dick to the cop when he pulls me over for it. Or punching the gas trying to get the attention?

 

punching it... lol.. not the other unless you want to be laying on the ground in hand cuffs...but mine is loud no matter what i do it makes everyone look , but by no means am i gunning it...

 

i dont know if the cops around here are just plain stoned, but my old wagon was open at the cats, hehe it was one loud **** and fast too and i was never pulled over for the noise, the flowmaster 50 on mine dont get much attention

 

But do you definately hear a noise difference as far as louder, smoother, and low rumble?

 

oh deffinatley, i find it has a throaty sound and deep its a nice clean sound not obnoxious, which is why i figure the cops dont mind it/ the general public

 

All I've heard from the Flowmaster 50s is that they have the traditional, deep Flowmaster tone, but definitely aren't that loud. I don't think you'd have any problem with the cops, especially if you don't get into it too much around town. Should sound good though.

 

I live in Kissimmee, which is a pretty good sized town (population fluctuates with travelers of course, lol) So i can't run something very loud myself. I wanted thrush mufflers but I heard two 360 motors apparently with the oval muffler, and they sound kind of goofy to me, a little softer than i was expecting lol. but it could just be my laptop speakers. I want to also get some headers to help out the cold air intake (improve mpg and performance) so i'm now wondering if the thrush mufflers would actually be a good buy considering I gut the cat, mufflers and thrush sound to kind of dull it out. no two systems sound the same though.
