Ok, so I just bought a flowmaster Super 44 for my TJ, I'm running an intake and a stock cat...but my stock system from the cat back is pretty shot. I was going to do the Flowmaster with 2.5 inch pipe. So far, I really like the muffler. I've never read a single complaint about them on jeeps. I've heard soundclips of them on both 4.0s and 2.5 liter jeeps, and I've heard it in person mounted on a 4 cylinder tacoma. But before I drop a $200 dollars to have this thing welded together and chop up my old system I'd like to get some feedback... So what do you guys think?
-
I have never personally heard one on a jeep but I have one on my 00 denali and I love the sound. hope that helps at all.
-
Yeah, well I'm getting a pipe and flange on the cat output, so maybe I should just have them clamp it together so I can put something else on it if I don't like it. But if it's amazingly awesome then have them weld it. Is it really loud on the denalli?
-
Don't know about the 44, I have a 50 and it's loud but not to bad. The larger sized motors always sound better with the Flowmaster line of mufflers. The small motor ones don't have the right tone IMO.
-
It is pretty loud outside the truck but not in but then again it is dumped off behind the muffler with a turndown. I do agree that a flowmaster is designed more for a v8 IMO not a 4 banger.I will prolly be going with a banks catback on mine personally.

Ya, just went to the shop....the dude's wife had a jeep with an itty bitty little magnaflow on it. And it sounded peeeeerfect...I'm getting it instead haha thanks guys
-
What magnaflow did it have?
-
I don't know what the part number was, but it was a really small straight through off/center muffler. It was about ten percent smaller than the super 44.
-
I'm pretty sure it's the same magnaflow in the turbo city kit.
-
do you think I'll lose my low end because of the straight through design.......I'm still running the stock cat and the guy said I wouldn't but idk

I don't think you will, the Jeep cam is already advanced (if i recall correctly) to help with the low end torque so i would think the impact would be minimal.
-
that's good because I ended up going with the dynomax ultra flow.... a straight through big bodied muffler lol :blbl:
-
You know I gotta retract my prior statement about the flowmaster cause I got online last night and listened to mutiple different brands on youtube and the flowmaster 50 series two chamber muffler was the only one that I thought didn't sound like a honda. also I noticed that setups wth headers were a way deeper tone than just a muffler.

That's what I have without the header. Headers do make the tone a bit deeper.
-
Actually the dynomax sounds sick, it honestly sounds like a 6 or even a small 8...plus I have a noticeable torque pickup and getting up to speed on the highway doesn't give me headaches anymore. It's surprising quite for a straight through and crazy deep, i'd definitely recommend it.
-
What setup did you do again?
-
Stock after muffler pipe, dynomax ultraflow (oval type, not bullet/round), and a new three bolt coupler between the cat and the muffler.
-
I also did the intake, i imagine it would sound ricetastic without the intake.
