Default From True Duals to a Single Flowmaster, pics and vids

So I made an exhaust change. Here's the set-up before: LPP headers, custom 3 inch H pipe, 2 x 18 inch dynomax bullets with turndowns

Walk around

New setup: Same headers, 3 inch into a flowmaster merge, then 1 single 4 inch going into a single chamber delta force Flowmaster with a single turndown.

Pics first:

Started with this






The workhorse for the job


Starting to mock up

I originally was gonna have the exhaust dump out towards the back of the rear tire like this but it didn't work out that way in the end.


This is what I had to do to the rear floorboard


Muffler was almost dragging the ground so I realized more work was needed


Here is the muffler in a better position, and now a new floor needs to be made and sealed up.


Here is the mock up panels tacked in place.



Finished product


Here's what it sounds like

Part throttle, keep in mind I have a 4000 converter

Are you specifically refering to idle or WOT?? I completely agree with idle, it sounds almost identical.

Idle is almost identical.WOT the Flowmaster does sound good but......Ever thought of Cutouts? just seems like alot of work and cutting up floorboards to do all that.

If you look closely at the after pic, you can see the torque arm was cut to clear the bullet mufflers mounted in the tunnel. Im going with likely an aftermarket torque arm, hence the reason for the exhaust change. I needed for room for a new torque arm. I dont mind cutting and welding stuff for the best possible fit. If you look at the torque arm you can see where its notched to accommodate the drivers side muffler.

Interesting, sounds good but like others have said not much different from the TDs, and ground clearance looks about as bad. IMO you should have done the torque arm first then decided on how to run your exhaust.

i thought it (the 4inch single exhaust) sounded way better on the walk around, but identical on the drives

Here's an interpretation, the idle now sounds like a gang of tiny monkies banging on cast iron skillets with ball pin hammers, where as before it sounded like hail hitting an aluminimum baseball bat.

The WOT is pure sex though.
