Dear Dave:
"Deep" rumble & "Strong" sound are very subjective terms. However, here is my opinion since I have a Delta Flow (DF) 50 Series. DON'T get it!! LOL. Seriously, it sounds more like a flute (unless you do 60 in 3rd) than a trombone. DF will reduce interior cab sound level but outside level is also lower. Since you would like reduced interior sound level, I would definitely get DF but a 40 Series rather than a 50
Series. Don't make the mistake I made. DF 50 isn't what I was looking for that's for sure, and I'm no rattle-your-windows and set off-your-alarm sound kind of guy either. I hope this helped. May you find your sweet sound and cruise in peace!
------------------
My ride:
Basics:
- '99 XLT F-150
- Regular Cab
- White
Under hood and back:
- Ram air (Don't ask me how
)
- AiRaid intake
- Flowmaster DF 50 Series
- 24x3.5" Stainless steel slashed tips (Yes! Full stainless, no cheesy chrome-plated)
Outside:
- Precision polished billet grille and plate holders
- American Racing 17x8s polished Nitros (Flushed front AND back)
- Goodyear.. something (Expensive is all I know LOL)
- Ford nerf bars
- Ford bed rails
- Ford splash guards
Inside:
- My girlfriend!
- Fan-cooled CD player
- Reveille mascot standing guard
- aTm decal
- Ford pads and mud guards
Fun stuff:
- Dual sirens (front and back) Black Widow alarm system(enough decibels to go deaf in a garage )
Customer driving lights (Just a cool blue)
- 2 High-Watt lights behind grille (for people who cut me off )
- Dual horns (For people who, again, cut me off)
- Dual wheel locks (So I won't be driving home on bricks!)
- Spare wheel lock (So I won't have to use a brick as a spare )
- Custom decals
Best of all:
- Texas A&M University aTm front plate! Gig'em Aggies!!

Fordman302- When I mentioned "sound values", I was referring to a graph/chart, not audible sounds. Sorry for the confusion. I'm sure the one you already saw was www.flowmastermufflers.com
