More like the DELTA FLOW due to the sound resonation it produces. MUSCLE -
MUSCLE - AND MORE MUSCLE SOUNDS coming from the those pipes. If you are
worried about emissions, I thought all FLOWMASTER products are approved with
the CARB Approval seal.

Damn emissions :P My problem is I want to hear it before I buy it. I found
an mpg of a guy running the exact setup I want, he's got the 50 series (not
sure if it's delta flow or suv) and it sounds awesome. But I also don't
know if he's running headers or a cat. I'm trying to track down his e-mail
address to find out. A buddy of mine is running a single chamber flowmaster
muffler that's supposed to be for track use only, but his truck isn't
running, so I can't hear that. Altho, he says it's one of the loudest
vehicles he's ever heard lol maybe a lil louder than I want to go. I have a
lil time to decide, waiting on my rollpan, have to get that
painted/installed first so I can get the pipes mounted to fit. We'll see
how it goes. Thanks for all the tips guys.
