Just had the flowmaster 40(part #942541) installed. All I can say is now it sounds the way
it should. I can't be happier. Deeper sound is really nice. Thanks to all who gave me
input on choosing this muffler.

Mine is being installed at 8:30 tomorrow morning. All the positive comments about the 40 are making me giddy with anticipation.

Pauliewog,

We need to meet face to face! I'll drop you a PM and see if we can find a time to sit down over a cup of coffee.

We sure do. I sent you a pm when I first joined the board but it was apparently ignored!

Unfortunately, I don't think you'd enjoy hanging around with a cocky young kid like me

Although, you could be a great help when I get around to installing door lock buttons!

Got my 40 installed this morning... all I can say is wow! It sounds great! Couldn't have asked for anything better. The muffler shop here in town did a great job, I'd say pm me for the info but I'm the only sol nearby so I don't think anyone will need that info!

I had my Flowmaster on for almost a year and one of the baffles came loose. We contacted the distributer and a new one was sent out at no change. I'm sold on their service as well as their sound!!!

So what are you guys paying to have these installed? I went to a chain muffler shop and the guy quoted me $400!!! Needless to say, I turned around and walked out. Is the purchase of the muffler included in the prices you are getting or is it with you buying the muffler yourselves? thanks all.

Muffer $79
Install from local muffler shop $92

Total: $171. I think that is a real bargain.
