New Flowmaster With "TIPS"

[GotSandH3]

Too loud?? Im running a 40 series with two turn downs and I LOVE it!! Im thinking about running an electronic turn out before the muffler to make it even louder. Straight pipes!! Oh well Im young and stupid. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

Hmrlvr,

Yea I can understand that you don't want excessive noise, I'm old enough to appreciate that too. I selected a Corsa system because it was known to be the quietest dual tip setup. The only time it gets a little loud is climbing long grades at certain rpms. But with a price around $900 it's not cheap.

I had a FlowMaster installed on my H3 as well. I took it to a muffler local shop and they did it for $120.00. The FlowMaster replaced the stock monster muffler and was attached in the same location. The single short tailpipe was cut at an angle to fit under the bumper. Looks good. The resister was left in place. I was adviced the sound would be somewhat louder if it was removed. I might get brave and replace it with a streight pipe and see what I get sometime. I'll save the resiste,r just in case it gets to be to much for me, or the wife complains. So far I'll just keep the radio on. LOL

I did notice better pick up and a little increase in sound. More like mad hornets, but not to loud to bother anyone. So far my wife has not complained.

Yes, mine was taken out out and it's too loud, at least for me (and my wife)

I guess we can conclude that most of the H3 exhaust experiments have not gone well.

Im glad to be hearing this, I have been very close to do what hmrlvr did with the 50 series flowmasters but in seeing he removed it makes me think I better wait, what I dont want is a super loud 5 cylinder motor that is annoying. My exhaust guy I been using for 20 years told me he had no real setup that he could be sure I was happy with since he hadnt installed any exhausts on the H3. Said Id be the experiment, doest make me all warm and fuzzy inside knowing Id be an experiment, seems like that could cost more. I drove one at the dealership that had the perfomance mods, IE computer reprogramming, airbox kit and BnB exhaust, never heard of the exhaust before, but it really just sounded like a bunch of pissed off bees, and thats not the sound Im looking for and definitely dont want the droning sound in the cab.

any info on the computer reprogramming? was it a chip or a factory/dealer mod? This is the first I've heard of an aftermarket tune for the H3.
