Default Flows and tips

Let me start out by telling you guys where im at. The two things i am thinking about doing is 1. Getting LTs and a shorty o/r X and sticking some borla stingers on. 2. Getting LTs a shorty H pipe and getting an actual flowmaster catback (i love flows sound as well).
Well my question is does anyone know where you could buy a better quality flowmaster catback or are they all shi*? And is there anywhere you can buy some with some nice chrome rolled tips or anything? Thanks guys.

The best system that your gonna get from Flowmaster is the aluminized. I have Lt's, O/R H pipe, and American Thunder cat back and I will never go with a different system again, I love the sound. I also was worried about the quality of the system, so the first thing I did the day I bought the cat back is I got high temp paint (1200*) and painted it. (flat black) Ive had it on for close to a year now with some rain miles and occasional winter driving and its looks just as good as the day I put it on. Just a lil advice to get you monys worth.

Hm it sucks that you have to go through all that trouble.... Ya a guy with a shop around here says the flowmaster expected life is 2-3 years [>:]. I guess ill just end up going with the borla.

You can get a stainless mac catback and it sounds almost identical to flows.
