Default Which are the loudest Flowmasters?

I have flowmasters right now. I had a muffler shop cut the pipes and weld turndowns(all GT's should have these). There was a good improvement in the sound, but it still does not sound like my other 5.0 with flowmasters(now that one is a loud MF). Which flowmaster exhaust muffler is the loudest inside the car and out?

I still don't get the difference between 2 chamber and 3 chamber mufflers. which are louder?

I think the original 40 series are great. Ive got turndowns on mine and it sounds loud because of how the exhaust bounces off the car and the ground. The only thing that sucks about it is the fumes are more harsh.

i said i think turndowns are dumb they dont make the car louder if they do its not much, it makes it seam louder because the exhaust is right under the car, you have the exhaust bouncing off the ground and the car, and all the vibration thats why it seams louder, if you have a car that runs at all its sicking to have dumps all the fuel and fumes under the car will make you gag sitting at a red light or stop sign

I didn't know you were so sensitive about your health. You say you have an offroad h-pipe but you probably don't. You see, they don't have catalytic converters and even if you have straights pipes to the back of the car, you can still smell it at a red light even more. But, I guess you claim to have alot of stuff. You should know something about the parts before you say you have them. Well, I guess I'll go drive my real car and head to the track since it's friday. It can't pretend to have a car, and use a computer 24/7.
