    Flowmaster 50 Series SUV muffler is the way to go on a 4.7 liter. Hands down....

    I watched several Youtubes, of the 40, 44, and 50, and while the 50 was nice, I think for sound + performance, the 44 still tops it. Or I could be wrong.

    Why the 50 over the 44, in your estimation?

    My Flowsound (Flowmaster knock off) Muffler on my 4.7.








    Interior Sound at Idle: Low, rumble
    Exterior Sound at Idle: Low Rumble

    Interior Sound at Freeway Speeds: 45 ish is a bit loud. Real deep. After overdrive kicks in its manageable. Havent had it up past 70, but im thinking about 75 she will get loud.

    Exterior Sound at Freeway speeds: Not sure
    Any performance gain advertised vs felt: Not really
    Size of muffler vs the Stock setup: just a replacement, I think its a little more tucked under there than the big old stock one.
    Overall impression: loud and I love it!! best 80 bucks I spent.

    I have the 40. It's only loud around 2,000-2500 rpms from 1st-3rd gear. But my buddies like it. I like it. It's awesome.

    I guess its just a personal preference. But I think the 50 series SUV muffler is great on the 4.7 liter. It has a mean sound to it and its not raspy at all. You dont get that loud interior drone like you do with the 40 or 44 series and can actuall carry on a conversation while driving..lol Not to mention how many people that have come up to me saying how great it sounds.

    I'm torn between the cheap Thrush muffler or the Flowmaster Series 50. Anyone know which model I need for my 3.7 WK? What diameter inlets and where they are located?

    2.5 inch....offset inlet, center outlet. I'm not sure how the 50 series will sound on your 3.7 liter. Sounds amazing on my 4.7...

    I'm starting to think that the investment into a Flowmaster or Dynamax probably isn't worth it on the weak little 3.7. Might just go with the Thrush. I've regretted buying the 3.7 ever since day one.

    Why do u regret buying it. What are you trying to do? There is more then u think out for the 3.7 liter now. You can get shorty headers....cold air intake...performance tune...3.73 gears.....4 low....just saying
