Hello from Los angeles
Hello! Looks like a cool site! My beast of burden is a 99' Cargo, work/personal, w/ 140K. Not a lot of mods. Volant CAI to let it in and a Flowmaster to let it out. A little adjustment with a Jet Programmer and thats about it. Just another white cargo.

Welcome to the site!
Mbarky, flowmasters are loud. I got rid of my slowmaster. the drone at 55 mph in the cabin was deafening. If you don't mind not hearing your radio and having to yell to have a conversation, hook one up,

Re: Hello from Los angeles
Hey Mrbarky, I like it. Its a Flowmaster 40 series. Yeah, it can be a little loud in the morning when its cold, but the drone doesnt bother me. Since I'm in California, I have to have a Cat, which I'm told will mellow it out the sound a little. I also went and welded on a resonator tip, which helped also. Flowmaster has a quieter 50 series. My trans guy has one on his S-10, it is definitely a little more mellow.Mrbarky wrote:Hows the flowmasters sound on there? I've been trying to figure out what to throw on mine.

Welcome bro, I`m also in LA, SGV and I run a flowmaster 40 with my V8. Sounds much more throaty and Macho than my old Magnaflow muffler.

Re: Hello from Los angeles
