Hey! Did anyone notice that the muffler article was from former
DML'er Sean *Fresh Air By Meldrum*. They said the it was taken
from Super Ferd magazine. Wonder what he's driving these days?

A dramatic increase in back pressure..hmm?..I had this on my
97 V6 5 speed and liked it even with the very slight popping
on deceleration. The one thing I didn't like was a slight
resonance in the 40 mph range which turned out to be my cat heat
shield trying to sing along with the FlowMaster. I cured that with
a crimp in the shield. Some resonators added to the tip really
helped this setup. I have the same configuration on my V8 with
the 3" single Flowmaster 2 chamber.
