Yeah mine are not "true"dual exhaust,i know they arent.But i was saying dual outs may help the sound,if you dont already have em.I just didnt word it like that.
Well this is my car,not sure its the sound your looking for,but i like it for a V6.
Thank you for sharing that clip, don't take offense, this is more of an opinion. I actually think the Flowmaster sounds better. But Dynomax has the cleanest sound.
oh no offense taken,i didnt put mine on it.bought the car with em on there.i havent heard any flowmasters yet though.So if anyone has a sound clip put it up here.My vid was taken the day i bought my car which was last friday,and she sat for 3 months so she was very cold.
I have a flowmaster thats been on there for 7 years now and People mistake it for an 8 all the time. I dont think they make the same one anymore though. I'll try and get a sound bite but it will be a while. My car is nowhere near me and I just had sugery so Im down for atleast another week.
caseym11 - Hey great clip and thank you very much. I liked it. Beautiful Camaro also. Crazy thats a Magnaflow you got in there. I guess I expected something more agressive. But hey I liked it...
HEY I FOUND A CLIP IN YOUTUBE OF A
3.1 V6 CAMARO WITH 80 SERIES FLOWMASTER...SOUNDS VERY GOOD
oh no offense taken,i didnt put mine on it.bought the car with em on there.i havent heard any flowmasters yet though.So if anyone has a sound clip put it up here.My vid was taken the day i bought my car which was last friday,and she sat for 3 months so she was very cold.
Found this also...
94' Oldsmobile Cutlass 3.1L - Cat Delete, Magnaflow Muffler. . . ya ya ya I know its not a camaro but it is a 3.1 and it think it sounds like dog sh**. I'm hopping it only sounds like that due to it being on a Oldsmobile....LOL
1993 chevy corsica cherry bomb turbo exhaust clip
this is a 3.1 also...
I kind of liked this one but I dont know to much nor have I heard to much about the Cherry bomb exhaust....
I dont know much about the series, how do you find out what type you have? My flowmaster was on mine when I bought it so I have no idea whats on there. I do know I had another buddy with a 91 camaro v6 and he bought a flow but it sounded like crap compared to mine and even he admitted it.
I need to get a clip from my old Fiero since it didn't have a cat and had a modified stock muffler with 2.5 in and dual 2 out. At idle it sounded like a pasta rocket but as it got higher in rpm it would get throatier. I will see if I can get the new owner to bring it by soon so I can get a clip.

Hey check out the first page of this post and you'll see a pic of an exhaust...if it looks like that then its a 80 series flowmaster. if it doesnt look like that then its a 40 series. Someone on here explained how you can tell the difference from 40 and 80. You my friend, you have an 80 series and I cut out the 40 series that sounded very very very bad as I first stated. I might go with what you have .... 80 serises Flowmaster
Reaper Gumby - So your saying the cherrybomb with no cat sounds like a V8, interesting...but doesnt that mess with the back pressure? I'm sure all of us would love to hear how that sounds...If you can get a sound clip or anyone here can post it that would be great...
Please man!!!!
My VHS to DVD burner is not workign right.
I only have a VHS camcorder that could take a vid /sound clip.
Can't figure out how to clear its memory, have unplugged it for a whole day and it wont work. I know cause it still members to skip from 12-14.
The only problem with back presure is to much on these cars.
If yours don't rev out fast and hard to redline, something is wrong.
All I did once is all a simple hunk of pipe for a turn out but it totally killed the higher RPM band, I had to knock a hole in the end of the turn out to get it back revin fast n hard.
Why I don't even use a axle pipe that loops over, I run it straight out to the back, under the axle.

I like my Flowmaster other than somebody before me replaced the cat with a glasspack and it likes to pop on me when I get on it and let off . I would post a sound clip but I have no way of recording it .
I have flowmaster with the tips dumped at the muffler. Sounds great but I'm getting a bit tired of the vibration. I had the rectangle type tips on it before which I like the way they sound so I may put those back on. I never cared much for cherry bombs and flows almost never let you down.
Popping in your exhaust has nothing to do with your muffler, but your over rich exhaust that is exploding in the muffler. Some muffler just cover that up better but it has nothing to do with what muffler you have.
And if its a stick and your downshifting that will happen as you engine brake sending more then usualy extra fuel into the exhaust system.

Sorry it's been a while since I've been on this page. Been busy with running to the hospital and my tail light swap and such. I have the clip in my cam, but I have to find the rest of my cam gear before I can transfer it (because I lost the original USB cable that came with the cam and and am stuck using the dock for everything ) I should have it up tomorrow, anyways.
BTW, when I do post, keep in mind that my IAC is rather slow, I have 2 lean injectors, and I still have WAY too many exhaust leaks to be really comfortable. My system is the stock intermediate pipe running into a 2.25" Thrush 24201 muffler that runs into a 90* bend before hitting a 2.5" performance exhaust tip that has about a half-inch trimmed off of the end for use with a 1A Racing resonating tip. And yes, if you can tell, I've painted the out pipes from the muffler with high-temp engine paint to hopefully stave off the rust that killed the last set.
:edit: Also, the reason I have the tip stuck out so far is that I couldn't hear myself think with just the long tip on (without the chrome resonator on the end) and the exhaust dumping under the tail. And if you didn't like the Flowmaster 40 series (single outlet), you're going to HATE the 80 series (dual outlet, had this with the 2.8 and the 3.1 and hated both). It's got a really annoying almost buzz at highway speeds.
http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/mufflers.html for info on both, scroll down the page. If you DO go 80 series, keep in mind that the inlet is offset from both outlets and should be towards the front of the car in case you need to remove something. The entire muffler should be directly under the heat shield that's back there. PO made that dumb mistake...

I agree, whats wrong with the stock muffler imo they sound the best :P haha. blowmaster sound horrible when your car is cold. I suggest just keeping it stock you will see no performance difference only nasty sound.

So i guess you dont like your 80 series you have installed on your car?
I just put a dynomax cat back on with a mangaflow cat this past weekend. It sound amazing at idle. Sounds like an eight at idle. It not raspy at all when rippin on her. A lil drone at highway speeds in overdrive but nothing close to them fart cannon cars. Im actually very happy with the sound. Not to mention my acceleration is alot better...i give most of the credit on acceleration due to the old cat being orginal. I have to agree with above people. Flowmaster does nothing close to being the master of flow. Plus flowmaster sounds like crap on a v6....wayyy to raspy and alot of drone! I love the way my car sounds. It sounds beautiful at idle and not raspy at all when rippin on her.

I never installed it technically I paid someone $290 to cut off my cat and put a 2.5" down pipe from the y pipe back to a flowmaster 80series. Complete waste of money should of just replace the muffler with an oem one. The original muffler was quite compared to the flowmaster.
i have a 3.1l and my cherry bomb glass pack sounds great, the only thing that i want it a duel glass pack but thats for later on, when i get more money. lol if i can get a video of my glass pack ill put it up.
(on my trans and axle on the side with my name i didnt feel like putting what i have but ill do it later)

The popping would not be noticeable if I still had a cat instead of a glasspack . I plan on changing that when I get around to putting a new high flow cat on . Not going to be anytime in the near future though .

Stock muffler is $40, my Thrush is half that... My entire muffler system (from the muffler out) costs less than that if you exclude the resonating tip. Never heard a stocker, but I don't like any of GM's stock mufflers anyways, especially on a car that is supposedly high performance.
I'll tell you one thing though, I wasn't really thrilled with the Thrush (24207, same diameter, different length) on my Grand Prix (FWD LH0, same numbers, different pipes make the sound different, which is probably why entrig doesn't like the sound of the Cherry Bomb), and when the stocker was on, other than by looking at the tach, you couldn't even tell the engine was running. It was whisper quiet.

mtwlkn - Hey seems like your car sounds very good...do you think you can get a clip on your ride...I'm sure everyone and I would like to hear it. We havent heard much of Magnaflow here yet...

Great info and thanks for the link...this will provide a lot of answers for those that are wanting more info on Flowmaster. . .

Hey thats what I'm talking about. Hey we'll be waiting for that clip....I/'m sure it sounds good. If you can please rev high that way we can hear how it sounds ....

That bites man....if you can get a clip that would be great but thanks for the info...

That is exactly what my 80 series sounds like (minus the whine). When I first got it, it sounded retarded mean. Cammed v8 even. Whenever I started it, me and my buddies would bust up laughing because of how brutal it sounded, yet it really wasn't. It had tons of drone in overdrive, to the point that you'd have to yell to have a conversation. Then I went on a 6000 mile road trip and it sorted itself out by the end and now sounds like the above clip. No more drone either.
