Nope, they aren't the delta flows. I'd be curious to hear the delta force 40 series to see if it limits the interior resonance
:nonod: been there, done that, the delta 40's still have ear piercing interior resonance.

The resonance level is all a matter of your tolerance for it. 90% of the time I'm running with my windows down and I've always got the stereo on. By the time you get the stereo loud enough to overcome the wind, resonance just isn't a problem.

When I'm going down the interstate with the windows up the resonance really isn't THAT bad. It's actually about at it's worst around 70MPH which is around where I usually drive. Yeah it's loud but it's along the lines of a constant drone which I've learned to just tune out.

Drove my friend's 92 with stock exhaust the other day. Ugh, the fun factor just isn't there.

I agree. I had Flowmasters and Long tubes on my 383. I felt bad even starting it after 10pm.

Maybe you guys just care too much. My neighbors are louder than my car without any mechanical help. Certainly what one would refer to as trash.

Man, that is a BAD install!

Seems like a lot of Flowmaster fans on this thread, so I may get flamed for this, but here goes some alternatives....

Muffler elims are cheap and give great sound. Intereior reasonance is about the same as Flowmasters.

If you want mufflers, check out the stainless Magnaflows, sound great, look great and alnost no reaonance in the cockpit.

Cya! :seeya
