No you didn't miss it. I'm putting a super 44 on it today. Yes I know pretty much everyone here hates flowmaster but I like the way they sound plus I have a cut out for when I want/need it wide open

I think flowmasters sound good as well I just cant stand the drone. I agree though, if you have cutouts then you can choose the muffler more based on sound. Do you think it will be louder or quieter than the 50 series? My dad had dual 40 series then switched to a single dual in/out 50 series and I believe the 50 series was quieter and had a bit different tone.

The cam I put in mine is just slightly larger than that, but that's the cam that made me start looking hard lol. Mine is 218/224 @ .050 on a 110 LSA. I love it, it's definitely noticeable especially from a crew cab truck lol.

I already cut it off and put the 50 back on... The 44 sounded good at idle and easy driving but once I got on it I didn't like the way it sounded plus it seemed to change tone 4 times throughout the rpm range... Normal driving it had a bit to much bass tone for me... The 50 series I have on it I have modified a while back... It WAS a 3 inch in and dual 2 1/2 inch out. I cut the back of the muffler bigger and it is dual 4 inch outlets angeled down as "dumps". I'm pretty happy with it... It has a good rumble at idle and is not annoying at cruising speeds... You can tell its there but it's not really a drone. But when I get on it it just keeps getting louder and louder kinda a scream tone. I bet the 44 would sound good on something without long tubes and off road y pipe tho.
