Yes the flowmaster makes a verry different sound than a normal muffler

Wow Novax those tips look great. I have a 02 3.0 also. Can you tell me what was involved in the install? Also DocMike if you decide to sell the tips you bought from Morristown let me know.

Thanks in advance.

ok, for those with 3.0 that want the look of 4.6is exhaust. you can get the tips from morristown for $230 shipped. have your muffler shop cut the single exhaust outlet all the way leaves 1 inch to the muffler. fabricate Y tips and weld it to the muffler, the weld the 4.6is tips over it. never go weld the 4.6is tips directly over the single outlet, it just looks awful.
