Flowmaster 50 Series Muffler Mufflers

Flowmaster 50 Series Muffler Mufflers 

DESCRIPTION

The 50 Series offers a mellow, deep sound in most applications. It is quieter than the 40 Series mufflers outside the vehicle, and is significantly quieter inside the vehicle through the use of a special Resonant Tuning Chamber within the muffler. The 50 Series provides performance comparable to the 40 Series. The 50 Series is also available for SUV applications and provides mellow interior sound levels (ISL) and mellow to deep exterior sound levels (ESL).
- Most all Street/Strip vehicles with or without catalytic converters
- Vehicles with dual exhaust

Strength:

Increased power and mileage, better sound, cooler running temps.

Weakness:

None

2010 pro street build at original 28k miles. 50's mesh seamlessly with the build. Cruising running or racing this exhaust gives me the sound engine management and performance I want. Totally satisfied.

Strength:

Sweet sound, better gas mileage with duals than with single stock sutup

Weakness:

None

My Grand Marquis had less that 50,000 miles when I installed a cold air induction system along with a pair of 50's. Both performance and gas mileage are great I was getting 25mpg highway and now I am up to 28 - if I keep my foot out of it. No Hot Rod but, man, is it fun to drive.

Strength:

-Agressive, Bassy sound
-Makes a V6 sound MEAN
-Overall a great value for the outcome

Weakness:

-None at all

I just got this muffler put on my V6 and it went from the boring stock sound to a rumbling, bassy sound. I paid $110 for the muffler and labor, but I had to get an extension pipe installed for $25 more.

Strength:

Sound, increased power and gas-mileage, tough and rust resistant stainless steel makeup

Weakness:

Some people don't like the dull stainless steel look

This muffler is awesome. It turned my average sounding V6 into a deep rumbling beast. For my car, this muffler is just right, not too loud and not too soft. Improved my gasmileage by about 2-3 miles per gallon as well, but the deep, smooth sound alone is enough to buy this muffler.

Model Reviewed: Toyota Tacoma 3.4 TRD

Strength:

- Quiet (not a strength for some)
- Powerful sounding
- Deep (not throaty though, like a packed-type muffler: more hollow like a Flowmaster should be) and not raspy at all

Weakness:

- A little pricey for just a muffler
- Maybe even a little TOO quiet (I know I've been touting that as a good thing, and it is, but I'd still like to hear that there's something aftermarket on there!)

This muffler is on a 2003 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 3.4 (5VZFE) V-6 5 spd. I wanted a quiet, free-flowing exhaust. I ordered a 50 Series SUV (part # 52457), which is greater in length and width (and therefore volume) than the standard 50 Series and labor cost was $55 at a local muffler shop to have the stock muffler cut out and the new one welded in, retaining all the stock 2.25" pipes. I expected them to mount it kind of sideways (the whole purpose of getting an offset out), but they put it in level and it works great anyway with the stock tail pipe location. When you start it up, you hear a nice, low rumble and then it's barely louder than stock when the rpms settle down to idle. Now, I'm a huge fan of American V-8s and their exhaust notes, and not a fan at all of loud rice-racer exhausts (unless we're talking sportbikes). This is a low rumble that is pleasing even to me. Engaging the clutch and shifting through the gears is maybe 15-20% louder than stock (if that), and what you do hear, all the way up to redline is a good, relatively deep, solid tone and not loud, raspy, high-pitched noise pollution that is common to so many other exhausts on smaller displacement engines, especially Japanese V-6s (I generally consider anything smaller than 300 cubic inches to be small). Even under wide open throttle, I would not consider this exhaust to be loud or annyoing and there is no resonance in the cab of the truck whatsoever. A buddy of mine has a 40 Series on his Tacoma (identical to mine), and I consider that to be loud and annoying. If you're looking for a quiet, yet powerful sounding muffler for this or a similar truck, you won't be disappointed by the Flowmaster 50 Series SUV. When you let off the throttle to maintain speed, it is barely louder than stock. I can only speak for the stock 2.25" pipes - don't know how much louder it would be with 2.5". Probably a little and I doubt that would be a bad thing with this muffler. As for fuel economy gains, I haven't had it on long enough to give a reliable report, but I'd guess that as with most free-flowing mufflers, it'll be 1-2 mpg. And for power differences, I didn't dyno the truck before or after, but I can say for sure that it is quicker to the redline under acceleration (quicker even than with just the intake alone), and combined with the Airaid intake I installed a couple of weeks ago, total RPM drop at 75 mph cruise in 5th gear (vs stock) was about 450 rpm. That should equal a very noticeable highway miles per gallon increase.

Just replaced a universal turbo muffler with a 50 series single out and what a difference in perfomance. The 250 with 150K is more fun to drive and the sound is a light rumble at idle and mellow raspy at city speeds and no more trombone sound!

Model Reviewed: Flowmaster 50 Series SUV

Strength:

Nice Deep Sporty Mellow Tone, perfect for SUV's. Gained about 10HP, and about 1 mile mpg more on my gas. Which is better than nothing.

Weakness:

None.

I own a 2000 Infiniti QX4 (aka Nissan Pathfinder), i was looking everywhere for a muffler that would fit in my car, becuase i has Dual Ins, and Single Out, I know, WEIRD! I went to many shops and i couldnt get anywhere. Until a guy in Majestics Muffler told me we have this product that will fit in your car. (Item Number 524553) Just what my car needed. I heard that fowmaster were VERY noisy, and too much resonance. Either i was lied, or depends on the car, but after it was installed i was on my way home..i couldn' here anything - MY WINDOWS DOWN...i could hear a little bit not thats it. Then i told my dad to drive it...OMG....It is the perfect tone for an SUV. It isn't like those EXTREMELY LOUD mufflers, it has a nice Deep Sporty Mellow, tone, and my V6 sounds like a V8, It sounds like i gave my car steroids or something. If you accelerate fast, boy, my car cries. haha...the best muffler ever owned.
