EXHAUST IS TOO LOUD INSIDE THE TRUCK WHAT SHOULD I DO???
 

I have a 2004 Ram 1500 Hemi w/ high flow cats and a flowmaster super 40 muffler all 3inch with a tip out the side, the noise in the cab of the truck is making me sick, ive just put a plow on the truck and my first storm i had a headache after an hour, im thinking about switching the muffler to something not as loud, but im not sure if i want a flowmaster 50 because my cousin has that and its has the sound in the cab, but the muffler outside the truck is not really that loud. I was told a magnaflow might have what im looking for but ive allways been a flowmaster guy.
any suggestions?? tHAnks

The 50 FM is louder outside than the Magnaflow. The 50 is fairly quiet at idle but has sound with the gas applied. I will make a clip of my Hemi this weekend, it has a 50 CAT back and is 100% broke in.

A buddy of mine has the same problem. He put the flowmaster 40 on his chevy z71 and it is way loud. I was leaning toward the flowmaster 50, but decided at the last minute to go with the magnaflow. I just had it installed and is perfect for me. I wanted an exhaust that had a good sound, but one that my wife wouldn't complain about and I found it. Crusing around town you dont notice it, but when you get on it, man does it sound good.

Ha...............is that possible???;)

A V8 and it's lovely burble TOO LOUD???;)

Nah, just kidding with you.:D

I run a flowmaster 40 cat back and also a DMH electric cutout.
It's strange but, on the highway at certain speeds would you believe, the open cutout is quieter than the flowmaster???[sm=WTFsgign.gif]

It's all to do with the resonance of materials and harmonics etc.

What I do, is tweek the sound by either opening or closing the cutout slightly either way.
This slightly alters the engine exhaust frequencies and stops/reduces the resonance booming through the cab.
It might not work for you but it's a nice way to convince the wife you need to buy an electric cutout :D
Al.

thanks guys, im still not sure if i want to go with the flowmaster 50, or a magnoflow!!!! Anyone have a magnoflow 3inch exhaust?

Perhaps you should consider how annoying it is to people outside of the cab too...

Yea I do..along with the front factory resonator because of the MDS. It has a good deepgrowl to it at part throttle so that you know it's there but it's not intrusive at all, and gets decentlyloud at WOT. Magnaflows also get a little louder as the packing material absorbs moisture and breaks in.

Flowmasters 50 HD almost made me change my mind about getting another magnaflow...but it was a little too loud for a DD.

Magnaflow out flows any flowmaster or any other chambered muffler...as does any straight-through muffler. Just thought i'd throw that in there just in case your spelling was suggesting otherwise:D.

Go with Magnaflow!! Sounds great inside and out!

get an AT3030 :Dlol...that'll make some good sound for ya...cant recommend anything from blowmaster (err, i mean flowmaster ;)) mainly cause i hate them lol....magnaflow has been fairly decent, gibson isn't too bad, borla is really nice, and corsa isn't too bad either
