Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After a lot of research, I was originally going to go with the 50 series, but I ended up second guessing it and choosing the 40 at the muffler shop. I knew that was the wrong decision for my 4.3L V6 Chevy S-10 on the way home. The sound from the outside at idle and with a blip of the throttle is deep and mellow. I wouldn't call it overly loud at idle, and I actually did get some complements on the sound. Where I never quite got on board with it was the resonance inside the cab. It is hard to describe, but while cruising, the constant "bwwahhhhh" sound was just the right pitch to get on my nerves in that small space. I was late to a friend's house once, so I was rushing to get there. When I arrived, he told me that he heard me come around the bend a mile up the road! This was reinforced by the fact that several people have told me through the years that they could always hear me coming and I experienced it myself when people returned the truck after borrowing it. If I had it to do over again, I'm would definitely have gone with something quieter for sure. Something that didn't make it so that you have to yell to be heard by your passenger and had a better sound at cruising speeds or while under load. On the other hand, if you've got a teenager, and you want to know when they come and go, get these! Part of my issues could have been due to the small truck that it was on, and the fact that the muffler had to be located directly behind the passenger seat. Just to be thorough, I had a single pipe into the 40, and two coming out. The pipes exited straight out the back, on either side of the license plate (halfway between the edge of the plate and the corner of the bumper).
