Thats not a very popular exhaust for a Lightning, as for the sound, it will make you truck sound like a jet, a friend had one put on his truck, and he had it removed 2 days later. if you want a catback that sounds good, then go with a magnaflow, you will like it better than the flowmaster.

I have twin 40 series on the HD, without issue and sounds great imo.

What Kris said, the 40 series were the only I've heard that "work" with out truck for a nice tone...the others tend to drone alot.
Those were the only model I hear worked well out of the Flowermaster set. Wise choice.

I actually lost power from the stock exhaust. It sounds ok at idle, but anything above 2k rpm and it is crap. Don't waste your $$$ like I did....I'm just waiting to find a good deal on a Magnaflow mid-pipe /catback

That's what I first had put on my truck as well. They caused me to gain torque on the dyno; but, I lost top end hp. After only 2000 miles I could knock a hole in them with my knuckles. Too much heat and backpressure for a supercharged engine. I was changing over to a Borla catback when I discovered this. The Flows sounded like a wet towel flapping in the wind under moderate to heavy throttle. That's why I was changing them out in the first place. The Borlas were nice; but, not aggressive sounding enough under light throttle or idle. The Magnapacks I have now (Silver Bullet) are a little louder than I wanted, after I added LTs and hi-flo cats; but, much better than the Flows were. They sounded perfect with the stock manifolds and cats. I am starting to wonder what the Borla would sound like with the headers and cats changed over?

That sound clip gets lots of use from me around here. Some are probably getting tired of it; but, there's always somebody that hasn't heard it yet.
