buddy of mine got them, didn't like the sound of them and sold them again.
but they're great price 25$ a pop if you're talking about their glasspacks
if flowmaster is too raspy for you maybe try magnaflow mufflers

I'm not sure why you say that Flowmaster is raspy. Its definitely not. It has a deeper rumble.

Turbo mufflers and glasspacks are raspy.

From whats been said, Magnaflow will probably suite your needs best though.

Flowmasters are raspy. Magnaflows and Dynomaxes rumble, my Hushpowers growl, standard Flowmaster 2 and 3 chamber mufflers have a blatty rasp to them, especially at idle. Sure, you get a lot of low frequency sound, but you get a lot of high frequency with it. There's just nothing in there to absorb all the high frequency sound from the exhaust.

Turbo mufflers and glasspacks have a raspy crackle at higher rpm's, but have a mellow tone at idle/cruise.

my flowmaster 44s sound very nice at idle, very mellow cruising at 65-70. but obnoxiously loud while accelerating. i honestly dont care though. i like loud.

Your 44's are not "mellow" in any way, shape, or form:P
