The flowmaster 10 series is really f'ing loud, not even much of a muffler, just kind of a fat bit of pipe.

I can't believe the CB Extreme is not loud enough for you! I think it's way louder than a FM40, it's probably on par with the FM10! The only thing louder would probably be the good old Cherry Bomb Glasspack...

I have heard them both in person and the cherry bomb extreme is way louder that the flowmaster 40. The FM 40 was not even in the same ballpark when I compared them.

maybe just dump it without any mufflers?

If you don't have to worry about emissions, maybe take the cats off since you want to change headers anyway. I drove around for a bit without any muffler before i put my magnaflow in, it still was dead quiet at idle. I'm thinking it's cuz of the cats.

I like the in front of rear tire idea. I might be doing that also along with a muffler swap to a longer magnaflow to get rid of drone.
