V-Force Muffler??

[BassMaster]

Me and an older man at work were talking, he's huge into trucks. He told me hes got tons of mufflers at his house and he'd bring some to work and if I wanted them just take em. Well he brought in several Flowmasters, but were very rusty, under the flows I found 2 almost new V-Force mufflers.. After some research it seems as though some people call it a knock off Flowmaster 40.

I am going to put one on this weekend and see how it sounds, I will try to get a sound clip. They are only 2.25" and coming off a 3" I will have to get some reducers.

IMO, Flowmasters are way overplayed out...and a knock off is just as bad...no offense though. When I get my catback I am going Borla...

[BassMaster]

I don't like Flowmaster either, I just grabbed the V-Force then did the research. It won't hurt to try it out. I mean it was FREE. And two of them at that. The Ram is the first vehicle I owned with something other than Magnaflow. Right now I have no muffler at all.

[SmokedRam]

Damn, no muffler at all? Magnaflow is good....I agree, my favorite price is free too...LOL

[BassMaster]

Yeah after a lot of arguing my friends talked me into it. It's actually not that loud, it's super deep though. The only reason I really want another muffler on is because MDS sounds like complete crap. If it wasn't for that id just put some turn downs on it.

[SmokedRam]

I did the exhaust in my S10...LOL...NAPA Soundmaster muffler, with a turn down right over the rear axle...but honestly with the 2.8 anything more than that is simply overkill...the problem with the GM 2.8 is air intake, not exhaust...

[BassMaster]

I am thinking about doing the Magnaflow Y Pipe, to an X Pipe, then running both these mufflers after the X. And if I don't like there sound i'll just put bullets on.

[BAD HABIT]

dont even use a y, just run pipe to the x-pipe and then pipe it to the mufflers and dump em itll sound mean a hell, running a y with this setup would be a waste...

[BassMaster]

Oh no duh haha not thinking logically. Yeah uhhh I mean to say cutting the stock Y pipe.. (Slaps Forehead):3811797817_8d685371

All I run and have ever ran was Borla.

I have Magnaflow tip's on my '98 but the system consist of 2.75" stainless steel off longtubes to, two Borla XR muffler's.

Borla is very expensive but you actually can feel a difference.

The problem I also had with SlowMaster on Dodge is they rap off like a Chevy, which is the most disgusting fucking sound in the world.

For free? why not? but grab the second one to have for when the first free one rusts out. I had a FM50HD and it rotted out in no time. When I took it off to replace with my CB Extreme the top basically looked like a brown slice of swiss cheese...

[BassMaster]

Did a little more searching, found quite a few post's like this one on a hotrodders site. Gonna throw them on there eventually and try to get a sound clip.

You have to admit they are well built mufflers with heavy cases and guts even if they are loud. For the price I paid there was no alternative to get this level of build quality, first thing I thought of when I seen them in person is they look like the welded Dynomax race mufflers.

Got them on my impala been on it 3 years no issues except not loud enough for me nice rumble tho.

[BassMaster]

Probably going to go this weekend and get the exhaust redone, what size X should I run? Dual 3" seems overkill to me, the mufflers that were given to me are 2.25".

[BassMaster]

Anybody? I cant find reducers anywhere.

[Fla 66 cuda]

Run 2 1/4 pipes then you don't need reducers,i'm running 2 1/2 pipe with chambered mufflers on the cuda when we do the exhaust on it my little 273 will be able to breathe it's probly too big but what the hell it'll sound good.

Well just got back from Wally World, ran into a ram there with the Hooker Aero Chamber.. Sounded awesome. Just found one on sale for $40 3" IN 2.5" D/O. Hopefully gonna order in the morning. I know I keep going back and forth. Either gonna sell the V-Force or give em away.

Edit: $30 on Amazon. Ordering now.
