What is it with everyone wanting to be louder? Flows are pretty loud. I here SLP is pretty loud but I think it sounds like ***. MAC Pro dumps are louder than the flows and it is around $190 from latemodelrestoration. They bolt right up to the offroad pipe and are ready to hang. No welding involved bc they have done everything for you. I have them and I added a set of tail pipes bc I like that sound better than the dumps with those mufflers.

do you have a pic of the mufflers, the 3 chambers are longer than the 2s by a noticable amount. 40 series Flows with an offroad midpipe is pretty loud, i ran that setup for a couple years.

stock headers?
87-93 came with "stock headers" from the factory.They are headers but they are dented at the ports which make they retangular and not flow as well as aftermarket ones. Easier install for the factory.
