Re: Flowmaster vs. Delta Flowmaster (bsowa)
I recently started a poll on this topic. You might want to check it out.

It appears that Delta Flow was much more popular. The major differences I'm aware of...
1. Interior resonance is greatly reduced.
2. Exterior sound is "slightly" reduced.
3. Delta Flow in most cases run about $15 each more expensive than the regular Flowmaster series.
4. In most cases Delta Flow dimensions are slightly larger than the regular Flowmaster series.
There may be some others, but those are the ones I remember off hand.

Flowmasters are 2 chamber while Deltsflows are 3 chamber. The regular Flowmasters are louder. With more sound comes more interior noise too!! I have DF 50's on my CE and love them. Not too much interior resonnance.

I've got Delta 50's with the Mid America dual exhaust (no cat) on the 81 and they sound great. Absolutely no resonance and just the right sound. Highly recommended. :) :)

Re: Flowmaster vs. Delta Flowmaster (bsowa)
Ok, I've got to ask a stupid question. Are flowmaster and deltaflow made by two different companies, or are the deltaflows just another version of a muffler made by flowmaster? Are the flowmaster 50s and deltaflow 50s the same muffler?
:confused:

Re: Flowmaster vs. Delta Flowmaster (Leos 81)

I believe this is incorrect. If I'm not mistaken, the Delta Flow 40s are also a two chamber muffler. It's the Series 50 and Series 50 Delta Flow that are three chamger. Can anyone else confirm?
