just get Force proseries mufflers or Thrush 2 chamber mufflers from www.summitracing.com
part#'s
force Proseries FRC-5202 2.5", FRC-5201 2.25"
Thrush WLK-17659 2.5", WLK-17658 2.25"

both are identical to Flowmaster 2 chambers as far as design. i like Forces for sound and IMO better quality than Flowmasters. i have heard the new Thrush 2 chambers on a 3.8 recently. sounded real good like Forces and Flow 40's

Flowmaster$70/muffler
Force Proseries$36/muffler
Thrush 2 chamber$30/mufler

it's your money spend it like you want but the flowmasters will not give you any better sound than theless expensiveForce proseries and Thrush 2 chamber. and i used flow 40's for a few years on mine. loved them but for the price the Force and Thrush are alot better and wiser buy

You will see those kind of gains if you get longtube headders, but if you stay with the stock manifold's expect roughly 6-10hp with better gas mileage.

Very generous aren't we

You don't need an xpipe, or hpipe, or any mid pipe!
