There's a site showing quite a few on a flow bench somewhere, i'll see if i can find it. Anyway the almost all of the flowmaster series came out to be one of the sh*ttiest flowing out of all of them.
So the highest power loss out of most the mufflers out there. So they sound good, but perform bad. The one that came highest was warlock something... or something warlock. I just remember it had warlock in the name. Doesn't flowtech make those?

I also ran flows on my 88 and I really liked the sound but I just wanted to get something different so I put SLP's on my 93. After running SLP's I will never go back to anything else. Plus the quality of SLP's compared to flows isnt even funny. Flows sound good but like I said, I just wanted to be different.
