Flowmaster Super 44 vs. Stock exhaust 2016 Ram 1500 Sport 

You couldn’t be more wrong

mcbean mcbean hey that's awesome. Once you get it on let me know how you like it.

Sounds like a great truck! Enjoy that super 44. Would like to see a vid after you get it installed.

That's awesome! I think Flowmaster should give me a cut of the sale! haha!

I agree!

I hope to hear it! Post a vid!

The_Real_iDad hey so! It’s been installed for almost 2 months now and it sounds a lot better like the mufflers been broken in! The only downside is the drone BUT it’s not overly annoying lol I also lifted my truck with 35’s now it’s looking pretty sweet

@@michellemetanad7299 Hey! that's awesome!

@@michellemetanad7299 that’s awesome I didt the same thing got the super 44 and cut out the resonators it sounds bad ass on my 2019 ram 1500 big horn

Jason Simpson thank you! Good luck on the search. Lots of nice ones to choose from.

Bill I love the sound of yours but I've been thinking of the Flowmaster 50 because I'm a family guy. 2 Questions about the 44 : Will I be able to keep a low profile picking the kids up from elementary school and also while sneaking into the neighborhood at 1:30 am? Will my wife be able to talk my ears off on a long highway trip at 80 mph? If you can answer yes to both I'm going with the one you have

Jason Simpson I understand your dilemma and shared the same. I have 3 kids I drop at school every day. You won't be low profile with the super 44, you will be heard no question. That low bassy rumble will turn heads everywhere you go. If you live on a quiet street people will know when you come home. I have no problem having conversation in the cab though. I keep it under 2k RPM and creep down the street when I come home. Cold start in the garage vibrates my walls. My friend has a 50 HD and he loves it, that might be better for your situation.

moses rho glad to hear. That deep rumble is addicting.

@@w3bexec why didn't you remove the Resonatorz Do they serve a specific purpose? Someone's told me they Doo

@@40streetblack79 they tame the sound some so it’s not crazy loud and annoying at cruising speeds

He deleted the resonators though. No point in going with an aftermarket muffler if you keep the resonators. Cut them out, trust me you’ll want to

@@joshua.johnson he didn’t delete the resonators, he said specifically that he almost did but changed his mind right before install and was very happy with that decision

@@ryangallagher3291 That's exactly 💯 what he said! Alot people say the resonator keep fumes & gases from entering the engine also help the air flow naturally threw the pipes & exhaust.

Thank you! New video coming soon with an exhaust update after 14K miles and tires/wheels.

I have 19 ram classic too but mine is a v6 should I get the super 44 or the 10??

The black is really nice as well! I agree with you, the chrome wheels are not my favorite. Saving the money and working down the plan. Exhaust, floor mats, level, wheels/tires (20" fuel offroad with 35" duratrac), intake, maybe flares, etc. Its like plastic surgery... when is enough really enough. Haha

Hi austin maye. All windows were closed.

Thanks man! I bet the black wheels do look great. Everyday I get a compliment and I bet you do too. I have similar wheels planned. Have to save :)

Hi bill what's the part number you have for the flow master super 44

Hi. Speaking about the super 44 and interior. How loud it is will depend on if you delete the resonators. If you don't know, the resonators are just before the end the of tail pipes (they look like a large tube). If you keep those, the interior would be about a 6 in my opinion. I would say stock is about a 3. Removing those however (like in the case of a full catback system) you'll for sure see drone inside which will get annoying. The interior shots in my video, you can hear the exhaust for sure, but you can also speak and be heard very well. Turn on the radio and you won't hear any exhaust unless you are laying on the pedal. Hope this helps.

Joshua Carter Hi, I haven't heard anything I would consider "whooshing". I hear the rush of the engine, fan, alternator, etc. is your sound exhaust related?

Hi! The only other person I know who has a flowmaster has a 50. So, I am not sure if its deeper, but for sure its louder, and whatever deep you have now will for sure be louder. Mine is a deep loud and shakes the walls in my house when cold started in my garage. My dog knows when I am 3 blocks away.

I have a 2014 1500 that I put 10 series on and removed the resonators. That was the way to go.

Yes, stock resonators are still installed. The tips are about 13" long from end to weld. On the passenger side, because of the spare, the tip goes into a reducer which is directly welded onto the resonator. On the driver side there is more room and their is pipe between reducer and resonator.

thanks for the reply. i just got the 44 but left stock tips for now. guy at the shop told me that i would have to find 5 inch tips else where for the size to adjust with the stock resonators in there.

Hi Adrian. Thanks! I got super 44 model number 9430452. 3" center inlet, 2.5" dual out. I had a local shop put it on. Not sure how much trouble they had or what changes they needed to do. Looking at it though it all looks like all typical welds to me.

Von Jeric Torre without is louder

Jesus Gonzalez Hi. My is single in and dual out.

Link also please or model number of muffler

KingOdie98 yes

1terraforce Hi. The only droning I get is right around 2100-2500 but it’s not bad. The in cab sound I hear is generally pleasant. Did your catback come with resonators? If not, I bet that could be the bad sound in cab. Check out my other video on MDS, I’m driving around and talking and you hear the in cab sound in comparison.

The_Real_iDad thanks for the info. No there are no resonators

Hi. Thanks! The outlet on mine are 2.5"

Besides the muffler did you add something else?? I would love to make mine sounds exactly the same.

@@ismaelcabriales1521 Nope. Just the muffler and 5" tips

James Armstrong hi. Yes, I tow a 24’ boat with it pretty often during the summer. Crushing is fine but while getting up to speed can be a little annoying.

The_Real_iDad thanks for the reply. How does your awesome wife like the sound under weight, not to ear bothering I hope. Just prepping the sales pitch for my wife Lol.

@@jamesarmstrong9411 Its a subjective topic of course. We can still easily hear each other over the RPM's while having a conversation and I always engage tow / haul. Right after install it takes a bit of getting used to but eventually you do get used to hearing some background roar. No question, you will notice it. I also turn off MDS (see my other video for that) which for sure helps when at cruise speeds.

Hi, it should fit. And your Laramie is going to sound awesome.

DogDaybreak yeah I would be ashamed.

Juancarlos Garcia Hi. Good question. It’s been 16 months and about 23000 miles since this video. The exhaust still sounds great, deep rumble and a rich roar. I’m planning an update video soon on the exhaust and changes to the truck for the die hard subscribers I get messages from. As for it getting annoying, it does happen occasionally depending on the circumstances. The sound can and does turn heads and sometimes I’d rather be inconspicuous. It’s way more good than bad though. To this day I still look for people in Honda’s with an open window and roar on past giggling a bit.

Vince Teo Hi. Thank you. I’ve replied to other people who’ve asked the same and I’ve kind of dissected the drone question. It just depends on what people consider ‘drone’. To me it sounds like more of a hum. In my videos you can hear me talking and I am at normal volume for comparison.

The_Real_iDad okay thank you, I appreciate the reply! Fantastic looking truck btw

Hi. The tips I have are just some no name tips my local muffler shop had. One key things for me though was making sure the replacement tips were longer than the stock tips to hide the transition to the pipes. I think the stock tips are too short and look cheesy.

Can't go wrong either way. The super 44 will be just a bit more loud. All just my opinion of course.

TAIMOOR T the Hemi is 7 seconds to 60 stock

Eric Lindeman Hi. Glad you like the video. The interior sound parts of the video are with the windows rolled up. In the cab with the super 44 it is certainly noticeable and it is louder than stock. I have other videos where I am talking at normal volume while driving which may help. I can have conversations just fine with passengers at normal volume when cruising and accelerating. The only time I get any drone (and everyone’s options on what is and is not drone differs) is when I’m hovering around 2- 2200 rpm and at certain times when MDS is on. I turn MDS off frequently.

The_Real_iDad awesome, thanks for the response bud. Good info always helps!

I don't get much drone at all. I mean, you hear the exhaust for sure but is not what I would consider "drone-ish". I kept the stock resonators on though which I am sure help.

How do you shut down MDS?

Jorge Cendejas originally I was going to do the full cat back but instead just did the muffler and tips. So on my truck is the super 44 and the 5 inch tips. Cut the stock muffler out and replace the 44 and cut the stock tips off and replaced with 5 inch. The stock muffler is huge and you'll need to add some pipe to make up length. I kept the resonators on which are closest to the tailpipes.

Jorge Cendejas forgot to add. I had my local muffler shop do mine. I wasn't confident that I would get the tips centered perfectly and have it nice and solidly attached if I did it myself. Cost me $150.

Bill thanks for the info... really appreciate it! hopefully I can have mine sound exactly like yours.... thanks again!

I got them at the muffler shop I had put on the Super 44. Just some generic rolled tips they had in stock.

The_Real_iDad how much were the tips

Oh sure, much quieter than straight pipes. You'll love the tone.

I have the 44s and deleted resonators. The drone is the worse part. Watching this video it seems even with stock resonators there's interior drone. I have a Hemi 5.7. I may install back my stock resonators or order flowmasters resonators for this application. But I love the hollow chambered sound and don't want to lose that. Decisions.

RealEstate INsider I heard the 50 series helps a lot with drone

Not bad at all at 1500. You hear it of course. Now at 2700+ you will get some.

Hi. This is a muffler swap and tip swap. Except for a piece of pipe to make up for the length of the stock muffler (you'd think it comes off a bus) the pipes are stock.

interior noise

Its open to interpretation however I understand it as a resonating sound that occurs in the cab at normal cruising speed. Once it reaches a particular decibel threshold or pitch that is unpleasant it's termed as "drone". It generally occurs at specific RPM's and is different by vehicle and different by variances in any one exhaust. A bunch of factors affect it like, header type, exhaust length, even how the engine fires which affects how exhaust pulses through the pipes. You'll get exhaust noise no matter what exhaust is on a vehicle and OEM mufflers are generally designed to counter drone via dampening measures. With a aftermarket exhaust, the idea is you want a sound increase which opens the door for the side effect of drone. In my case I have a drone at 80 MPH on the highway which is about 1900 to 2200 RPM sustained. 5 MPH faster or slower and I am at a different RPM and the drone diminishes.

Thank you. Called up my local muffler shop and they had a decent selection of tips. Got them from there, $40 each. These are no name 5" rolled stainless, and at 13" long you can't see the reduction or weld down to the pipe. In my opinion the 4" stock tips look cheesy from the side or angle since they are so short.

You will never have the V8 growl in a V6. If you want it to sound aggressive go back and get a hemi. Even a strait pipe V6 wont sound like this sorry to break the bad news to you.

@@Crash-xz6hw holy shit did u figure that out urself??

Dwayne St John Someone had to do it for you, clueless.

@@dwaynestjohn5324 well I wanted an aggressive sound so I got the 5.7L hemi. Obviously you're lawn mower of a V6 isnt going to sound aggressive at all because it's a V6 regardless of what exhaust you try and put on it. Best you're going to get is the delightful droning fart sound a BMW makes. If you knew anything about cars you would have known that and not be asking how to make your V6 "a lil more aggressive" you twat.

I’ve heard it on a 6 & the super 44 will sound just as good with a 6 cyl. Engine size doesn’t matter with these mufflers.

Hi. It's more a personal preference I suppose. You can certainly take them off but it is a trade off for guaranteed drone pretty much all the time. How loud is too loud for you? A four house radius hears my truck cold start every morning.

mustangcobra1789 Hi. It is a centered 3 and 2.5 dual out.

Sliding under my 17, it looks like I should buy an offset in/dual out. Did you have to bend pipe to use center in?

Hi. Its pretty subjective. Everyone seems to have a different threshold when it comes to the daily driver. Certainly the 44 is noticeable in cab but even at high RPM when accelerating I am able to talk and hear passengers. Mine is a daily driver and I do take my family to church. I get some looks but as long as you keep it toned down and under 2500 RPM you should be fine. I don't rod it around in the parking lot. The sound did take some time to get used to. Cold starts in the garage.. its loud and it vibrates the walls in my house. My friend has a 50, he likes it. Its pretty mellow but sounds nice. It will only get to near the level of the 44 in the cab at the higher RPM range. All that said.. i can tell he's jealous of my 44.

Thanks! The guy at fm said the 50 was a direct bolt on, no welding. Plus its stainless with a lifetime warranty. But i watched a hearing test of 8 diff fm mufflers and the 44's on ur truck sounded the best. The guy at the muffler shop insist i delete the resonators. I don't think so!

Yeah. I am pretty sure if you run the 44 and delete the resonators, you will probably be "that guy" in your neighborhood. I also think you will get quite a bit of drone. The only time I get what I consider to be any kind of drone is when MDS kicks in. I plan on a new update video soon since I have had the 44 on for 14K miles now.

Kool. I'll be looking for that vid. I also have a k&n cold air intake im installing as well. They say that's gonna add a different tone in addition to the fm i choose

The_Real_iDad thanks for the video, I was undecided between the 40 series but now leaning towards the super 44 after watching your video.

If your looking at the super 44, mine is a 3.00" single center in, 2.25" dual out. I also had a muffler shop put mine on since I wanted it welded. Hope that helps.

Available on amazon. Flowmaster direct fit. Mine installed in 10 min

Steven Tripp have the link?

Ram's come stock with a 1 and 2 out muffler. This flowmaster is the same.

Hi. Thanks for the comment. I cannot recall what part number super 44 it is. This is not a catback system. I bought the muffler and had my local shop do the swap out. They had to add some pipe since the stock muffler is very long. The tips I bought at the muffler shop and just some no name stainless tips. It's nice and secure on the hangers, nicely welded, it's just better when you have a shop do it. Left the stock resonators on which are right in front of the tips.

Alright perfect ! Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Oh sure, no problem. Post a vid when you get it done. Would like to hear it :)

Will do !

I was supposed to have the flowmaster installed today but the appointment has been moved to tomorrow, but I was reminded about the MDS noise when the engine cuts down 4 cylinders and how that noise it makes when in 4 cylinders would be amplified aswell, how was it for you?? Does it bother you or it's not that bad. Either way I'm going to have it installed because I have already purchased the flowmaster but I'm curious.

Hi. Well... its not going to sound bad :). If it was me, I'd go with the Super 10. It is a 68 Charger after all!

I have my 2014 ram for two years and last year I put the super 44 on if I didn't take the resonator off do it sound better with the 5-inch tips in the resonator some thinking about getting bigger tips I got stock the craziest thing when I'm driving on thedriver side I don't hear the muffled as much but my wife drives and I'm sitting on the passenger sideI can hear the muffler real good

Hi. They are just generic stainless tips the muffler shop already had. They step down with a reducer to the 2.5" stock pipes.

Jon Wells Hi. Mods like this no, not at all. If the manufacturer claims the mod has caused whatever problem you are claiming warranty over they have to prove the mod caused it.

Hi! The purpose of a resonator is to cancel out a certain range of sound frequencies. The ranges that are cancelled out are those that are considered not pleasant to hear so the resonator eliminates that frequency. Noises that are canceled are the harsh noises or ranges where the exhaust note would be a loud droning or buzz. Outside the cab, the drone sound is mixed with the rest of the frequencies and not a big deal. However, INSIDE the cab, these frequencies can be a constant annoyance. Overall, its personal preferences. I prefer to not have that 'noise' in the cab.

@@w3bexec Oh. Ok. So basically the resonator also eliminates the drone you would hear in the cab then. Right? I have an 07 ram 1500. I want to put a super 44 delta series (flowmaster) on it. I saw a video that showed some small resonators on each exhaust. Mine comes with the one big bulky resonator and the single stock exhaust. So to avoid the drone in the cab I should leave the resonator in and then install the muffler right? (The flowmaster is one inlet and two outlets.)

@@isaiah6131 Hi. I'm not familiar with your model at all but my gut says yes, leave it on. If it is not enough exhaust tone for you then its simple enough to remove the resonator. Just cut out and replace with straight pipe.

@@w3bexec thanks

@@w3bexec I was wondering if it's a 2 in 2 out since it's dual exhaust planning on doing the same to mine sounds great

Yep, you are spot on. I usually turn off MDS using the max gear method and I make a vid on it. Not sure what model years are applicable, seems 2016 and up based on conversations I've had. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LL9GgClbeFE.html

Nicholas Bachman nope, they are no name rolled stainless tips I got from my local muffler shop
