Default Flowmaster 44's ?

Anyone running the Flowmaster 44's ??

I was considering running them on my Barracuda.....

Any comparisons to the 40's ?? I know some people think the 40's are too loud and resonate in the car, so I was wondering about the 44's......

I have the Super 44's on both of my Z/28's and after running Flowmaster's for years,I can tell you these are the loudest ones yet...very heavy on the drone.
You can't hear music or carry on a conversation very well...and that's just how I like it.

Magnaflows, Borlas, or Ultraflo's in the largest sized case you can fit.

I run big-cased Magnaflows on my car and they're tame at light load acceleration and rather quiet at cruise... but they're loud at wide open throttle.

I recently got the super 44, I agree with musclecarjohn. Mine turn down before the axle and at a stop light it is very loud in the car, not to terribly loud going down the rode, but then again I like it LOUD! Here's a short clip of them, I didn't really get on it but it may give you an idea.
