I went to summit racing.com and then autozone and then jcwhitney...

Why cant I find a 2.5 inlet and a 3 outlet in a flowmaster 40 series???

Where did you guys get yours?

Any links whould be good if you can help out...

Thx

Please give me a few links to check out.

 

Call Flowmaster directly and tell tech support what you what. They will give you a part number which you can then call summit and order it at a discount.

 

Because they don't make one. Good enough reason? [8D]

Just get a 43040 (center in/out) or 43041 (offset in/center out) or 43042 (center in/offset out) or 43043 (offset in/opposite side offset out) or 43044 (same side offset in/out)

and an R3025 8" length 3" into 2.5" reducer, flip it around and run your 2.5 up into 3". Sold in pairs though, maybe find somebody to split it.

Note: I used a 2.5 into 3" Y pipe into my 3" 30 series coming back from my headers. You could also do that if you're going to get rid of the stock (restrictive) Y pipe.

 

ahahaha

Damn good reason.

Think with that many dodges running around they could press out a few of them..


Thanks for the info.

 

All you need to do is take it to an authourized flowmaster dealer like Midas or any other muffler shop that has a Flowmaster banner hanging in the window. And ask them to hook you up with a 40 series. it'll probably be a 3" inlet and outlet and they'll weld in a reducer on the inlet side. dont worry it wont affect the flow since the pipe is getting larger in diamiter through the downstream.

 

yup, like moparmark said, take it to a shop and let them install the 3" in/out muffler with the inlet reduced.

 

Or I could do this. Anybody see any HP loss here. I would be ditching the 2.5 pipe from the cat and be adding 3 inch from the cat back....

I think this would be better than a reducer. Not that a reducer is that bad. Anyone have any idea how this system sounds. I wonder if its like a Flowmaster 40 or a 50.

thx

Exhaust System, Force II, Cat Back, Aluminized Steel, Dodge Ram 1500/2500 Truck, Kit

These Force II exhaust systems have been designed with the latest exhaust technology available. Through this technology, you will experience improvements in acceleration, passing power, and fuel mileage. The key to these performance improvements is the use of mandrel-bent tubing. The tubing allows for superior exhaust gas flow, while aluminized steel construction has been utilized for its corrosion-resistant qualities. They also feature a 3-chamber muffler(s) that?ll give you plenty of Flowmaster sound under hard acceleration, but low sound levels while cruising. Every kit comes complete with all of the necessary hangers, clamps, and mounting hardware for an easy installation.

I have a 97 SS/T with stock pipes and a one chamber installed with a polished echo tip and it don't sound too bad at all

 

Ordered a flowmaster 40 with 2.5 in and 2.5 out. It looks like my truck has a 2.5 out .... then the pipe gets bigger right away and goes to 3 inch. Its funny. I thought it was 3 from the back of the muffler. oh well.

 

if you go to jegs they have kits now for 2nd gen. rams. not flowmaster though. i run 3 inch glass packs and theyre a hell of a lot louder than flowmasters will ever be. but i got the **** to do my own exhaust. if you know someone with a welder and sazall or have em to use youre golden. check out this site though.
