For me Flow Masters are too loud.
Is there such a thing as too loud? Kinda like too much money and too much power.

Just kidding of course....I know it all depends, and everyone has their personal preference. I once ran a short bed truck with full exhaust exiting behind the rear wheels with no mufflers. Liked the sound, but it was a daily driver, and longer trips with windows down were too much so I ended up putting on some small turbo mufflers. On my 72 big block truck I have headers, and a pair of the Jegs "flowmaster 44" knockoffs with 2.5 inch pipe turned out just behind the cab. Not sure I like the sound...it is ok when 4 bbl is open, but still it has more of a tin can like sound rather than deep mellow tone. Considering going old school to either small chambered round, or some 12 inch glass packs. I really liked the old round thrush mufflers, but apparently no one reproduces them, and NOS on ebay are out of my price range.
