Default Who's running the Flowmaster Cat-Back???

I'm seriously thinking about getting the Flowmaster cat-back system for our (generation) trucks.....who's actually got it already???

Talking about this one:

Like how's the bends in the pipes?

Cheesy or a nice exhaust tip??

I had this same style exhaust (50 series SUV) on my '04 Dakota, and it sounded awesome....but I'm just wondering about the actual parts.

I have a 2006 Dakota with the flowmaster 50 (Not suv) duals out the back with 3' tips.
Sounds awesome!!! I wouldn't go with the 40 sicne i feel what i have to loud enough, any more and I wouldn't be able to hear people talking in the cab.

cat-back, you mean an entirely new exhaust system or just running the flow master on the line...ANYWHO, I have a single 40 series muffler installed. And yes, if you dont have sound deadening material installed or dislike excessive interior noise, get the 50 series. My super 40 is LOUD...

I had a Flowmaster 40 on my last Dakota and on my new Dakota, both sounded good at idle you don't hear anything but a nice low deep rumble, I had a Quad Cab and can have all 4 windows all the way down and not even have an issue talking of hearing.......it is far from a loud exhust at idle only gets loud when you punch it......at the freeway at cruise it sounds great but you can turn off the radio and have a convo without any issue.....I would have to question on that set up what muffler they are using from Flowmaster....I would get a 40 hands down...better flow better sound better performance....I have the single out the right side just like what you have there and I just love it....duals out the back is what everyone and their brother has now days.

Well like I said.....that specific "cat-back system" from Flowmaster comes with the 50 Series SUV muffler.....I had it on my '04 Quad Cab and loved it

I'm just wondering if any one with a '05-'07 actually has it and what they think of the quality and fitment. I already know it'll sound good....so that's not a problem.

And yeah no offense to people running it, but I don't like the duals out the back......I just want the single side exit in the factory location. If I had the money though, I'd go for this Gibson system (like the Lightnings used to have--picture is of a Ram though):
