Default I miss my Flowmaster 80 :(

You guys can hate but it's true, I thought I wanted louder so I bought a 10 series but now I'd love another 80 and put a cut-out on so I can be loud when I want to. Someone wanna trade?

Haha, it's my daily driver, I guess it could maybe help if I would ran pipes out the back though as it's dumped right underneath the gas tank

FYI, FM also makes a compact 40 series (pt#430408) that's only a little bigger than the 10 series, or if you want to mount one where the 80 series was then get a Super 44.

Honestly, it sounds sooo amazing, but it's dumped and I get nothing but drone constantly and I drive 50 miles or more everyday, I'll probably just end up keeping this one and running pipes out, it's not that I don't love loud, cause I do, I would love lt's and no cats but for now I'm just going to stick with the single chamber and run pipes out and see if it helps any until I transfer colleges to the one 2 miles from my house instead of the one 20 miles away, lol

Yeah, I had a super 44 on my truck before I got the T/A and I loved it, it sounded sick, I think I've decided to keep my 10 since I love the way it sounds and just run pipes out of it to see if that helps the drone any

Well guys, here's what I ended up doing, I sold the flowmaster 10 to a buddy of mine for his truck and bought a SLP Dual/Dual exhaust with the tips off a local guy for $100, I actually plan on getting lt's and ORY now after I saw this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piZSX...eature=related
Skip to 30 seconds if you want to hear the exhaust
