Flow Master
Is it worth spending less money on a flowmaster exhaust, or would it just be smarter to go to a higher quality exhaust and pay the extra money?? I'm just curious because I mean come on when i get the stang it HAS to sound hot[IMG][/IMG]

RE: Flow Master
depends on your set up. My exhaust has stock manifolds and mid pipe with a flowmaster catback.
I took off the flowmasters and welded in Ravin mufflers but still couldn't stand the drone at 2K RPM (it was actually worse). After I put on the CAI, the drone wasn't as bad. Then I bought the Magnafow catback because MD said it was the best for not droning. It's true, there is hardly any drone at all but the flows had the meanest, loudest sound.

RE: Flow Master
I love my flowmasters. I think they sound great and the do give you more horses. You're only talking about 5hp maybe between the flows and a really high end cat-back. I would go with what sounds best. I'm also getting a o/r h-pipe this month and they supposedly sound amazing with flows.
