Default Im a dumb***... Funny story.

Ok, so I left 7:30 this morning to go take my truck in and get a dual exhaust, flowmaster 50 installed, I dropped it off, signed the receipt, get home and get ready for work. I get a call 10 mins after I get home, its Mike from the shop telling me I already have a Flowmaster 40 installed!

I could of sworn it was stock, personally I didnt think it was that loud, from the way people always spoke around it, I thought it would be x10 louder, thats even the reason why I was originaly going to go with 50, because 40 would of been too loud, I guess not. Me beingthe 3rd owner I had no idea it was a 40 under there, I looked for the stamp saying so, and of course it was under some splattered dry mud I never bothered to stratch off.

So I said ok, how about a K&N cold air intake? He checked it out, I have the stock intake, but with a K&N filter, and that putting in the K&N wouldnt be much of an upgrade for the extra money since I already have the filter.

So moral of story, I save a chunk of money, next thing to upgrade is 3.55 stock gearing to 4.56

flows on the 5.2 and 5.9 arent nearly as loud as they are on the hemi. but flow's on a hemi mean loss of low end and mid range....
