Flowmaster 80 series

Any of you V6 guy's running a Flowmaster 80 series? If so, how do you like it. And what are some other opinions on exhaust systems for the V6. I have the dynomax super turbo muffler, but its not loud enough, I want more of a rumble....I want it deeper.


Thanks, Ted

I have a 50 with small 3" tips. Sounds NICE, even nicer when I put on new bigger/longer tips.

i have it on my 6, at first people mistook it for an 8, now most people say it sounds like ****, which i would have to agree with

i have a guilty conscience now for putting a flowmaster on a V6

not for long

Flowmaster combined with a Gibson high flow cat. Great sound at idle and thoughout the driving range. (Everyone needs to remember that the cat will change the sound of things as well, so you might want to try a different or even no cat for a deeper tone)

Had one for 3 months. Hated it. Cut it off.

Oh yeah, it sounded like **** and it made freeway trips unbearable. That's the one thing I wish my car had- the V8 rumble. If it's not a V8, i don't want to hear it.

Been a few years since I bought one but I have them on both of my street cars. I believe it cost me aprox $150-175 installed with bolt- in flanges added also.

Factory OEM cats go for aprox $200-$400 just for the part not installed- thats based on what type of motor you have.

Heh, at least it's not a dual cat OBDII car. From GM, you get the y-pipe and 2 cats for the low, low price of $700-$800.
