Ive been curious how they sound and cant seem to be able to find any videos with them.
There should be some on youtube, if not there is one of a similar dynomax, so the sound shouldn't be too far off.

I have been posting some updates in the v8 engine forum about the truck in general but wanted to update this with what my exhaust set up is.

Keep in mind that the dealer paid for this, and I didnt have money to make changes or upgrades... :-D

They cut off the old glass packs and installed a DIDO fLO-PRO Max and then out to each side at about a 45. I dont believe the flo-Pro has an internal xpipe and there is no xpipe in the set up. The only good things was they put the muffler pretty far back and so there is plenty of room to get to where the original y pipe would have been and get an xpipe put in. That being said...>HUGE difference in the performance of the truck. HUGE. And that was before I fixed the miss. Its not a race car...but it has 3x's the power it did before the exhaust was fixed.

I dont think these mufflers are the greatest...prob wont last 10 years or anything...but they made a hell of a difference and sound ok to me...again I am not a muffler junkie...lol.

Thanks for the reply and the link.

Kinda hard to tell from your video.
Hearing it 1st hand, How do you think it compares with other exhausts?

When i decide on what i want and get it on, I'll be sure to post a vid on your thread.

I checked flo pro's website for the DIDO max muffler. If it has an internal x-pipe, then they sure don't avertise it. I would bet it doesn't. Either way, you will be fine. It looks like the flow pro max is probably two perforated tubes running through the muffler packed in fiberglass type material. I bet it sounds pretty good. I would just leave it alone and not worry about adding an x-pipe unless you become unhappy with the setup.

the flo pro was probably a v-force which is the same as a 40

Nice and mellow with a deep, sonorous tone that never gets loud, even at full throttle. Enough to let you know it's not stock but still quiet enough to be considered civilized.

he has a flo pro "max". which according to thier website it straight through perforated tubes surrounded by fiberglass material. a 40 is a chambered muffler without any packing.

Here's a link to a video of testing Hushpower mufflers:

I think they sound great. Deep and throaty with no blat or pop, and without that annoying midrange crackle a lot of systems these days seem to have.
