hey, you get em installed yet? have sound file of it? Never Mind.
Now its hard to decide between flows, and Power flos, both sound great, flowmasters give ya 1/2 bigger tail pipe. but also carry a higher price.

Are the Flowmasters really black? Or are the pics in the article wrong? I'm not sure I would want black muffs hanging back there. They are also a lot bigger that the PowerFlos... I don't know what effect that has on sound, but I would be somewhat surprised if the Flowmasters were louder.

But, the Flowmasters do sound pretty good in that clip. LOL... guess I'm glad I don't have to make a decision on exhaust anymore!

Both of the PowerFlos combined look smaller than one of the flowmasters. The PowerFlos are 5" dia x 9" long. See pics below...

not doubting you at all on the size comparison. They say they have a size of 5” X 10”. Its just the 4" tailpipe thats got me giddy.

Hmmm.. 4" pipes? I'm not sure I would like that. I just looked at the back of my car, and 4" might be out of proportion. Might look like one of those fart cans back there. But, that's just my opinion. To each his own.

I've had the American Thunder Kit on my GT for about 2 months now. I love how they have a deep rumble at idle and a nasty growl when you get on it. There is a nice burble when you are decelerating too. I have some pics of them in my gallery.
