Toyota Tundra Forum

Let me start by saying, I was not going for the loudest muffler out there. Been there done that. With this truck, I was looking for something that maintained the quietness inside, yet didn't sound stock on the outside.

When I went to the muffler shop today, I was leaning towards Magnaflow. They are known for being quiet inside, yet rumbling outside. However, the guy at the shop talked me into the Flowmaster 50 Series.

I was hesitant at first because I've had 40 Series Flowmasters on previous V8's - and while they sound aggressive outside, they'll knock your teeth loose inside.

I must say, this 50 Series is perfect for what I wanted. A low, deep sound inside (slightly over stock), but rumbling outside. I'll have a buddy drive it around the block for me later and let you know how deep it is on the exterior. But I wanted to share my experience with you.

Cool, I've heard the Flowmater 50 on other V8's and it's for sure a head turner. Mind telling us what it cost you so others will have something to go on.
I've moved this to the Muffler section

Good Gawd that is one ugly Tundra.

I ran the 50 on my Titan and it sounded GREAT! I wanted to get a 50 for the Tundra but they didnt have one in stock...so I went with the magnaflo. It seems to be slightly louder than the flowmaster 50 that I had on my Titan... but the 50 had a deeper rumble to it. Nice choice!

is the flowmaster 50 a straight exchange on the tundra stock exhaust ? I dont have the TRD factory option ??

It cost $300 out the door, and I live in San Diego where everything costs more.

They make a dual in, single out 50 Series, so yes, it will directly swap. You just have to match up the inlet size to 2 1/4" - which is the factory pipe size.

u havent been to quebec - cost more than more.... thanks... do u have a photo of the muffler... ?

is the sound really a big differance from the stock version ? I do alot of highway and dont want the loud hum inside the cabin i found with the TRD version exhaust but i want to cool deep throat sound in the city.

I will take some pictures today and post them. The hum is related to the throttle position. When accelerating hard, with the stock muffler, I could hear the motor working. It's the same now, but there is a V8 rumble to it.

Personally, I think it's perfect. Hardly any drone, but aggressive outside and much cheaper than the TRD setup.

thanks pat.. looking forward to the photos.. starting to shop around where to get one here local.did u use the factory clamps ? other than the 2 1/4 match was there anything else ? is the sound same as the TRD ? or more like u mention has V8 rumble ?

Hey Pat if you could can you post a sound clip for us also?
