Sammy, what diameter pipe did you use for this setup? By the sounds of it, all the velocities seem right on. Sounds great!

2.25 all the way. The Flowmaster 70 series dual in/out only comes in 2.25. They also make a single 3" in dual 2.25" out, single 3" in dual 2.5" out (both centered and offset.) There is also a dual in 2.25" with single 3" out.

40: you don't want this for a truck, extrememly loud. Mostly used on track cars.
50: often used on trucks, too loud for some
70: quietest and largest of the flowmasters, still not quiet though.

I believe it has to do with the note of the exhaust. i.e the sound level.

Sammy:

Well today I was laying on my back under my Titan trying to imagine the path of your system by the shock and spare tire. Just wondered Sammy, do you expect there will be any problem by getting that close to the shock with the heat of the exhaust. Or are you further than I can tell in the photo?

It's further away than the photo shows. The only things that come somewhat close are the parking brake lines, abs line, and left side brake line. The parking brake line and abs line were zip tied up and away. The brake line never touched, and I doubt it would get hot enough to melt it. I simply moved it to the other side of the shock and it has stayed there ever since.

Thanks for the quick reply's. Also one more question does this hurt or void anything out in the warranty?

Sammy Sandbag · 05-09-2004, 05:47 PM

Not that I'm aware of. Should be the same thing as the Banks or any other bolt on muffler. I've done the same thing to past trucks with no loss in warranty.

Hey Sammy how is your gas mileage doing with the flowmasters??

Well I haven't got to test a full tank since I've reset my computer after the x-pipe. But I did drive the completed system to Atlanta and back without resetting the computer and I averaged 17.5mpg @ 80+ mph the whole way. So I feel that it is improving, I got about a 1/4 tank left then after I refill it, I'll do a city driving mpg test.

It's a stainless xpipe. The rest of the exhaust pipe is aluminized steel. The X-pipe is really only comparible to a H-pipe, not a Y-pipe. The X allows a smoother flow of exhaust gases, versus an H.

See my topic on the X-pipe for more info: X-pipe or H-pipe

Thanks for all of your info on the flowmaster 70 series. I had installed the Banks system and have had to put the factory pipes back on. The Banks was just way to loud for my taste. So I had looked into the 70 and now I am sure thats the way to go. Also if anybody wants a Banks system make me an offer ( be warned it is loud) . Banks will not allow it to be returned so as of now its a 500.00 mistake on my part.
