What engine do you have.... a 350? And what does your buddy have...350 TPI ?

If the engines are the same, choosing the series of exhaust is a no brainer lol...

I'd get the 40 Delta or 50 Delta.

I'd also go with the 40-series Delta Flow. You get better performance and less interior resonance with the delta flow compared to the regular 40-series. But if you want really loud, go with the 30-series regular.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But 40-series delta flows have a really nice tone to them, especially on chevys.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

You hook up a proper Flowmaster exhaust, mated with Hooker headers, and your in for a very agressive tone.

But then again, who uses mufflers anyway...exhaust straight off the manifolds is the way to go

Haha, i was thinkin of getting some headers for the ol' 4.3, maybe later. I heard a IROC camaro with open headers, d*mn that thing was loud.

how big of a difference is there in the sound of the 30 and 40 series flowmasters?

Depending on the engine...not too much. Are you talking about the 40 Original or 40 Delta? The 40 series will be a bit more powerful, and agressive, but there isnt too much difference.

I still say 40 series or 50 series Delta, depending on your application. They work well on most domestic vehicles, car or truck, street or strip, etc.
