RE: Flowmaster and removing Resonators
When I bought my truck over a year ago, I waited two days before I took it to the exhaust shop. Ditched both resi's and put in original 40's Flowmasters in. I have the 3" tips angled out at both corners of the tailbed to ensure the tone from those 40's resonate off of and to everyone around me.IMHO, mine has a distinct tone similar to Mustangs. I'd like to post a sound clip of it. Maybe record to my phone and email it to myself to post it.
I actually have been followed by other Dakota's to find out what I have. I know there are plenty on the board here who don't care for obnoxious loud be flow 40's are the way to go if you disagree(remove resi's ofcourse)

I had the same setup on my 95 chevy, looked and sounded real good. Decided to go a little different this time. On the dak I left it single pipe, removed both resi's, put in a Cherry Bomb Vortex muffler (same category as a flow 40, bit different sound) and had it exit before the passenger rear tire with a dual tip. One of the guys I worked with over the summer told me if Harley made a truck it should sound like mine
Exhaust vid would be pretty sweet if you can make one, I want to make one of mine but haven't found the time yet. (don't want to do it at my apt and **** off the neighbors)

She might not have noticed yet because I put the radio up a lttle and took off from red lights real easy or it could be she is just used to driving my Neon with the daul outlet 80 series flowmaster! It's always setting off car alarms................[sm=oopssign.gif]

RE: Flowmaster and removing Resonators
Here's a pic of my setup. I also made sound clip with my cell but it doesn't do it justice. You can hear it turn on but you can't hear the real sound when it's moving. I was sitting on the tail gate holding the phone. my wife only drove up to 15mph and she didn't lay into it...
Hopefully this link works...

ADD: click on the "flowmaster" wavon right side of webpageto download the .wav file.
I'd like to add one with it accelerating hard. I tried making one to hear what it sounds like inside cab to but you can't hear anything when I play back the recording.
