Simply put it just sounds good. My blowmaster was giving me headaches.
What is your current muffler? If it's stock you may like the extra rumble.

if u have no cats get a flowmaster. the dynomax just doesnt cover up enough of the crappy sounds that are a part of any engine.

i dont know if this wil help, since i have the 4.7L but....
imho, i think its WAY too quiet (again my personal preference) i love the deep sound it makes, if it were only the same tone but louder!! i think i'm going to try a spintech muffler, as long as it will sound "close" to the GS motorsports dual exhaust (i think thats what mufflers are used in that system...) i love that in your face window rattling sound!!
just my .02

This question is for anyone that has already installed the 17748.
If you installed it on a 1999 3.9 that is totally stock, would you see Any improvement in performance???
I'm going to do 1.7 RR and a TB, but have not had time. I've had this truck for a few months and it really is slow...:) I'm just curious how bad the stock muffler chokes it down. Plus a better sound would be nice.
Thanks for any replies.

I have the same installed on my 3.9l and it has a good low tone especially at take off and idle. there is a mid acceration range when it sounds like the stock muffler, then if you hit it hard it sounds pretty good again. I like it but it could be used just a little more rumble. But you are not going to get a v6 to sound like a v8 too often anyway. Did notice some performance improvement.

I have a 2000 V6 Ext. Cab and replaced the stock muffler with the Dynomax 17748. So far I am very happy with the Dynomax. It has a nice rumble to it and sounds so much better than stock, but doesn't blow me out of the cab. With the Dynomax and a cold air intake I'm getting an extra 1.5 to 2 mpg extra. In the next couple of weeks I'll be adding a 180 degree t-stat and a modified v6 throttle body in hopes of getting even better gas mileage.

Got the 17748 Dynomax Super Turbo installed today on my 2000 Quad cab V6.
My review of ridin around with it for about 30 miles:
Idle-Sooooo much better than stock. Imitates a V8 verrry well. Very pleased with the sound.
Low RPM's-Freakin sweet. Sounds liek a crazy V6.
Mid-Low RPM's- starts to get annoying
High-Mid RPM's- small drone, but a lot more power
High RPM's-not much different than stock. Not much noticeable increase in power either.
Accelerating at 5-15 mph- Nice low drone, but gets annoying if you have to stay at that speed. You can hear it very well too.
Accelerating 15-30- fades off a little here, and prob sounds the best in my opinion.
Accelerating up to 55- Nice low drone, but gets annoying after a while at some constant speeds, so you have to find a sweet spot (frequency of the airwaves i guess).
Final conclusion- awesome muffler at idle, and low rpm's. Not as quiet as I thought it would be, but not near as loud as others. Very exciting to pull up to a ricer.
Funny thing is my dad still doesnt know i installed it, LOL. I have the stock muffler and Dynomax box in the truck bed, so it gives him a clue of wahts up. Man im gonna get so grounded, lol. Oh well, i love the muffler. So much better than stock. I definitely reccomend it.
