Cool Flowmaster mufflers, more muscle sound?

I'm about to go with my off road h-pipes (2.5") from Mac, and I need suggestions for FlowMaster mufflers.

Has anyone had any experience with the American Thunder Original 40 Series?

Or, does anyone have any suggestions on FlowMaster mufflers.

I'm trying to get a deep, yet high muscle sound.

Thanks.

I have those mufflers. At low RPMs it sounds like a v8 (almost) between 1500-2100 it sounds like rice (Bad) and when you get on it, it sounds nice...

I don't like the sound of rice, hmmm...and I'm Filipino.

Then what can I go with?

I want muscular sound at low and high rpms.

I am looking at purchasing MRT Aero Turbine mufflers and they have a good muscular sound at low rpm's and a good one at higher. You must remember on cold starts and until you break them in, mufflers will crack and pop and make a little rice a roney sound but it will even out.

Here is the clip of the aero turbine, its only singles but you can get a good idea of a dual sound.

i have flow master 40's, but they dont sound ricey at all, because(drum roll) i have an h-pipe, so i think that takes away some of the ricey sound between 1500-2000

here r some vids

I'd say they're off, but I've heard catted H-Pipes that sounds almost similar to an off road.

I need an exhaust without any air-restrictions.

I don't know where to get divorced duals, unless I have a muffler shop do em for me.

And muffler shops won't because they don't want to be held reponsible for the fix-it ticket...

lol.

=[

you might want to rethink your decision on offroad. You will lose major backpressure on our v6's which results in loss of HP. research it , just because high flow is high flow , sometimes thats bad. unless you have a blower , your loosing major hp and torque.

You have a point there.

What can you give me as an advice? I haven't done anything yet to my exhaust now that I'm working on my JMod, 4:10s, and Tlok.

A little help por favor?
