For the 289-5.0, the flows seem to be the poor man's choice. But, I have Ravins, and definitely prefer them over the flows for sound and flow. Borlas are big dollar systems that are not needed on the 289-5.0 carbureted gassers.

i have the 40s series flowmaster on my GT and i love the way they sound

i always get compliments and ppl telling me that i have one of the best sounding stang on the block

its loud, but not deffining, and despite what ppl say, they do not drone that bad on the highway

I have Borla's on the Vette and I am in love with the way they sound. I haven't really heard them on a Stang, but if it is anything like the Vette sound then I have to give it to Borla on this one.

I've got Flowmasters and rather like them minus the drone... all exept they could be louder (but I have the factory H, so with an O/R H-pipe they will be louder). I prefer the sound of Borlas though.

ZW, it's because Flowmaster does not actually flow all that well. Personally I prefer Dynomax, in particular the Race Magnum. They are fairly light, flow very well and have a deep tone.
? Where does this come from? i remember seeing an article in MM&FF that the cat backs, from Mac to Bassani, and the hp gains were +-2hp. Its so miniscule, how can you say stay away from one or the other. Flowmaster was not the bottom of the stack either. Ill try to find it.
