RE: Flowmaster American Thunder
Hawgman,
So true, they are 6 & 5 and if the exhaust can't shut them up, and nice burst on the throttle and that wall of air into the back seat usually buckles them over for cover lol. But to be honest, every time I look in the mirror and see the smile on their little faces this car creates, it is worth every $$. I just hope when they get old enough to want one dad has some extra cash set aside for all the extras available. In my case it is a fine line between saving for the college fund or moding the GT.

Have to admit the sound iswell tuned with the flow's, But I need help telling the new 6 cyl owners not to do this, personal opinion it makes a nice looking six cyl car sound like a fart sackin rice burner lol. Wish I was at the shop when they fired up your ride after the installation.

Mac's are louder. I own them and I wasn't impress how quiet the flowmasters were. The mac's look so much better tucked underneath the car unlike the flowmasters which are painted black and the macs are shiny stainless steel.

I'm having the Flowmasters installed, along with JBA headers and an X pipe Monday. I can't wait to hear the sound and feel if there's more power. Even if there's not a lot more power, I'll be happy with the great sound. We shall see.

Wow, that is a good price ( in my opinion ) on the American Thunders. I have not seen them any cheaper than $400. But then again I haven't looked in a week or two. Where did you find them at?

He was very helpful as well with me, especially ticking that 'gift' box on the customs form
