yeah i thought they were for truck to, but he had them fitted into the muffler space and i think they look kinda good, being the only non round mufflers i have seen on a RX.

I have a single 50 series on mine. Apparently Flowmaster makes some 4-banger mufflers too. (mine was intended for V8s) IMO its a bit loud and its not as loud as the 40 series. Judging from the standards of other people around here, I don't think any of you would have a problem with it. It's fine when @ idle and 'round the town driving. Get it above 3k and it is loud. WOT sounds about the same. WOT is pretty acceptable. On the highway it's very loud. After a 2 hour trip my ears ring. I've also got a presilencer.

I will vouche for the quality of sound from Snrub's muffler, but not the volume. It's too damn quiet. Sounds great though. I'm probably replacing the "Y" area of the Y pipe with a Flowmaster dual out muffler.

I was looking at these a while back before I blew my coolant seal. I was gonna get them but everyone was saying you couldnt put a piston muffler on a rotary cuz of heat or something. would a flowmaster hold up good on a rotary?

My understanding is that the muffler has to be of a certain type of construction and then it can withstand the heat from a rotary. I'm not sure what the wording is. I'd love it if someone could clarify because when I rip out the cat I'd like to replace it with a pretty open muffler or presilencer.
For Mr. Cake :
http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/we.../40seriesO.pdf Looks like they have a 3.0" in 2.5"x2 out in the loudest model. Can't remember, what are you mufflers now?

i see no reason for it not to work. i had one on my 89 ranger and yes it got hot as a mother but there really isnt anything to them....think of a hollow chamber with a single v in it for a baffle...that is how mine was constructed anyway. and god are they loud at times....other than that i have been thinking of putting them on mine for a little while now.....dual flowmasters.....??????

I had a pair of Dynomax Super Turbo's installed a while back. They worked really well-nice little kick around 5500 rpm. From the outside, it sounded great. The only problem was that like the Flowmasters, there was a loud as hell droning inside the car around 3000 rpm. Couldn't figure out how to quiet it down, so I removed them.
If anyone can suggest ways to get rid of that noise at 3000rpm, I'd love to stick them back on.
