As a general question I was curious if others who have used Flowmaster mufflers found them to be too "Boomy," -especially in the 2,000-2,500 RPM range. I am experiencing a resonance in the described

I do not have any personal experience, but on all the Foose cars on Overhauling they use the muffler but always install an X-Pipe which perhaps may stabilize the boominess? Just a thought. Rob Rob in

I run a single flowmaster in each pipe and it produces a nice sound that is a little loud and burbly but not what I'd call boomy at all. To give you a measurement, at goodwood they told me it hit 107

I think the 3" pipe is the issue, you are complaining of a droning sound at a lower RPM range which is a typical issue with al the jap cars that run large pipes on normal motors. I think gogint o t a

My Tiger has 2 1/2 inch pipes and Flowmasters with no crossover. Not too loud at all, no "booming" and everyone who hears the car (or rides in it) likes the sound they put out. Running a roller cam 3

I have ridden in a couple of Tigers with Flowmasters and I didn't really like the harshness of the mid-range sound. I went with Magnaflow's and I'm really happy with them. Pleasantly loud when your

A.C.'s comment here about the number of chambers is pretty critical IMO to determining why some like their flowmasters and some don't....and unfortunately they all look a lot alike from the outside.

I run FlowMasters on my car with an H pipe and 2" tube. I personally like the way it sounds, but some may think it a bit loud. At idle the sound is nice and quiet, but when you stuff your foot in it,

I used the Flowmaster Tri Delta mufflers with a cross over pipe. There is a nice rumble at low RPM and a much quieter sound at cruise. This is different than the series 40 that get louder with addit

Thank you to everyone who has (or may) chime in. Just to answer a few statements/questions. When I said "Boomy" I meant the resonance was so pronounced it was disturbing to deal with. Maybe it wasn't

I had Series 50 Flowmasters on my previous Tiger and experienced the same affect. My term for describing the boominess was "waffling" in that it seemed to be a pulsing pressure, similar to driving a
