    Glasspacked the VX....Sounds like garbage =/

    I thought the cherry bomb glasspack things would be a cheap way to give me a bit of sound that I wanted. It was just a cheap way to get off the stock muffler and make me embarrassed of how my car sounds. It's terrible! Hahahaha. Anyways, Ima try to get a flowmaster super 40 on sometime soon because I saw some videos from someone on here and liked the way that sounded. Glasspacks on the VX....not the greatest idea I've had lol.

    Anyone know of any Flowmaster Super 40 equipped VX sound files/videos posted anywhere?

    I looked up a few vids on YouTube, but the closest vehicles I found to a VX were some Toyota pickups and a Jeep Liberty, and my VX would have to sound better than those for me to ever consider making such a switch.

    I posted a video of my old VX with a suPer 40 on youtube. Just search for my user name: Silverbullet75

    Also, the Super 44 is considerably louder than the 40.

    I currently run the Cherrybomb Vortex. LOVE IT.

    gonna say, my Magnaflow growls real nice...burbles on the overrun too....it started out a bit....I don't know....droned a bit maybe....but few months and that just aged right away,,,I get compliments on the sound all the time. From Europeans more than anything.
    You'll enjoy the Flowmaster....the two are pretty comparable

    PV1 FTW! Sadly, none to be found anywhere.

    Sounds like she's gurgling peanut butter.

    My bad, I thought it was a Super 40...its not.
    Its a Super 44, Black Diamond plate ...1 in/2 out.


    I love it...its plumbed for dual exhaust exit, one either side.

    Was kind of loud when first fitted and in fact
    I got stopped by the Police one time for noise.

    Its mellowed now, nice rumble IMO, and gets quieter as you accelerate/go faster.


    Its all a subjective thing...ya either like a growl..or not.

    So Jo, the 44 quiets down over time and mellows out a bit? Some kinda break in period of sorts?
