Well I can add a #3 to that. My flows have been great until 2 days ago, did a little drag racing against an rx-8 and made him look stupid, but now it sounds like someone is blowing a freakin wazoo through my exhaust. U can't really tell what it is untill u actually get under the car. from outside the car it sounds like a very high pitched metal to metal vibration. When u get under the car u can clearly hear something rattling around in both mufflers. Although they sound nice, this is clear evidence that the new flowmasters r poorly made....I'll be putting in either borla's or loudmouth's, I haven't decided yet.

Well, just because there are problems with a few of them, doesnt mean that most of them are bad. Mine are doing just fine, so far. Hell, look at all the problems with our '05 'Stangs and yet we dont think that they ALL are feces! Same thing with any product. There's gonna be some bad ones. Hopefully, they were early production mufflers and the kinks are ironed out now.

Yeah, just a few of them gone bad? when was the last time u heard of mufflers going bad like that, they're r garbage. Point me to any other mufflers doing this in the forums and I'll state otherwise.

I put them on mine They rattled like crazy and I was worried about welding after all the reads here. I checked it hout and tightened the clamps (You REALLY gotta torque 'em down!. No more noise. I LOVE my flo masters, now. Louder at accelleration than stock and quieter at 60 mph. go figure
