I was looking online since i do want to replace my axle back flowmasters (putting on my LT's and mid pipe soon) and i noticed that flowmaster now has a "Classic" axle back with a square design. Unlike the rounded design of the ones i have. They claim it reproduces the sound of the old 5.0's. Does anyone have or has anyone heard these? Is there a difference between the new "classic" offering and the normal axle backs? By difference, i mean worth an extra $415 difference.

I'm still pi**ed that the second set of axle backs are up to the same old crap of vibrating from a loose deflector plate. How hard is it to weld these things up right the first time. Sounds like a loose cat sheild. I don't think I will be giving flowmaster anymore of my money till they fix their quality control.

Edit: Both sets I had were the first gen axle backs.

Lots of lookers, but no real answers. I guess they are too new for people to have bought them.

I have actually had my flows since almost the day they came out and never had a problem with them. I was lucky it seems.

I got mine for way less than $400 and have been fine for 6,000 miles now. They sound great and fit perfect.

I have never had a problem with the quality of Flowmasters. I just wonder if it's really 'that' much better then the old ones.

Make sure your mid-pipe is an H. Even after all of my research and listening to sound clips, I put ATs behind my Kooks x-pipe. It sounds ok but trumpets pretty bad between 1,800 and 2,300.

Some one this forum had said that Brenspeed told him that the flowmaster classics sound similar to MACs.

Chandler and Dave at brenspeed told me the flowmaster classics sound almost identical to the macs
