    ooh ooh, Pismo sounds fun

    when is the trip, I wouldnt mind jumping up to join if I am free and have sum extra cash laying around.

    And I think some body has flowmasters on here 40 series if I'm not mistaken. Maybe they (and others) will chime in.

    I think that's what I have on my Ram too but its been awhile...

    Cool

    Do a search...wasn't there just a thread, with swell audio clips & everything, just a week or three ago ?

    Also, check Kennys gallery.

    The truth of the matter is: your VX will stand on it's own merits when off roading with lesser brands, it doesn't need to be heard...though I'll be the first to admit.....

    I LIKE LOUD PIPES & I CAN NOT LIE,

    THAT BORLA TURBO REALLY MAKES IT FLY.........

    I will give props to this exhaust as well. I have a friend who has it on his Dodge pickup (V6) and it sounds quite nice. Whenever I hear it, but don't know it's him coming, I look over my shoulder expecting to see a Stang or Camaro.

    One note on the Flowmaster Super40...

    I just bought an '01 with stock muffler. While driving back to Vegas from San Jose, I got 360 miles of range. When I got home, I put the Flowmaster from my '99 onto the '01... It KILLED the milage! It went down to 280 miles... so, I switched it back to stock.

    Pros: GREAT sound... but not so loud that it attracts the Po-Po. Also light weight...

    Cons: Very low back pressure... VX needs at least SOME! Killed the MPG and power. Power band had a flat spot during spirited acceleration. Switched to Stock muffler... power and mpg came back.

    Question... is there an insert that can be installed that will increase backpressure, and not quiet it down too much?
    I've seen the thread about the insert for quieting a low backpressure muffler, but not the other way around.
    ???
