[Tigers] FlowMaster too loud?

[65tiger at comcast.net]

I used the Flowmaster 50 mufflers with H pipe on 2.25 exhaust. It was "loud". 
Very nice to listen to at the light, pretty nice sound until you put your foot 
in it. Then it was very loud. 
After three years, I changed to Dynomax. Sometimes I missed the noise. But not 
enough to switch back.

Subject: [Tigers] FlowMaster too loud? 

As a general question I was curious if others who have used Flowmaster 
mufflers found them to be too "Boomy," -especially in the 2,000-2,500 RPM 
range. I am experiencing a resonance in the described RPM range that is 
almost unbearable. 

While not a Tiger, I am running their "supposedly quieter" 50 series on a 
Mopar 318, stock manifolds into a single 3" pipe, plumbed out to the back. 
The car is relatively well insulated, nothing is contacting, and everything 
is hung on rubber supports. 

If this is a common issue with the Flowmaster does anyone have a remedy ? 
I'll be listening (with ringing ears) for a reply. 

Thanks, Tom
