flowmaster's
is it just me or do flowmaster's sound horrible at WOT, i mean they sound great at idle and just above that but at WOT they suck. and at a cruise i cant hear them over the wind and other traffic. i need a louder exhaust

Hmmm.......If anyone else would like flowmaster to make a 3.5" American Thunder catback with dual outlets, let's let flowmaster know.
Hey, ya never know, with enough requests............

I am pleased with my flowmaster ( 80 Series, 2.5" in/out) I like the way it sort of cackles after you bring the rpms up.

I agree the flowmaster sounds decent... but I pulled up next to a guy with a 96 T/A with a borla exhaust and he just trumped me, gotta say my car looked better then his, but his sounded ALOT better... I have been looking into getting a borla muffler though to get a deeper tone...

Depends on alot of things. 80 series I think have almost a gurgly sound to them 40s with one driver's side outlet sound mean as hell if you aren't running a cat. Cats kill the tone big time. Gotta say the best muffler I have used on a 3rd gen is a V-Force from Flo-Pro. Basically a 40 copy but the insides are a hair different and they flow better and have a louder and meaner tone.

The difference between a good flowmaster and a bad flowmaster is the cat. if you run a cat it wont crackle and sound bad at wot.
