and why does it not sound as loud as everyone is talking about. It's somewhat louder than stock and that's it. The ones I got were the orginal 40 Series 2 Chamber. It's supposed to be louder than the newer Delta Flow. Are the mufflers suppose to break-in and then become louder? I'm somewhat satisfied but no fully. The muffler guy that welded them in is really skilled and made sure everything was in tact and snugged. Could it be my mid-pipe? Thinking about getting the Mac Prochamber to compliment my flows. What do you guys think?

Flows do take a week or so to break it. I thought mine were really quiet at first but they really started to come alive. the midpipe has a HUGE effect on sound. when i put on the X pipe with cats it was LOUD. if you are still not convinced have a trusted friend drive your car around with you following...you will be AMAZED to hear what your own car sounds like to others

What is the drone that everyone is talking about? I don't know how to identify that sound?

When I first got mine, I wasnt blown away either... but give it a little while and I think you'll love them. Like mentioned above they might take a week or so to break in.

And definately let a friend drive your car and you'll appreciate them a lot more.

How much HP you think I gained from welding in those flows. I know it's not much but just wondering.

Exactly. Have someone else drive it so you can hear what everyone else is hearing.

If you think it is quite now, try riding around with an O/R h-pipe and getting used to that, and then take it off. You will swear your car has stock exhaust.

Congrats on getting your flows. I got mine about 2 weeks ago. I can tell the difference now and then. They are little louder now, more so when I get on the gas. Thats my problem now, I love the sound so much that I can't keep my foot out of the gas. I am gonna get an off road X pipe next. Just got my gear for Christmas and now need to get a chip. Trust me you will love the sound you get and I love the drone. Its music to my ears.

Okay so I have to break my mufflers in before they get louder. Now my question to you is - Will they got ALOT louder or just SLIGHTLY louder than what it is. I just got them welded in today & the outcome was slightly louder than stock. Not what I was expecting.

he is the ONLY person allowed to do that, cause i know him really well, & he knows what he is doing . if it were anyone else they would have been dragged from the car & given the beating of their life
