I admit flowmaster sounds good but chamber mufflers or mufflers with baffles on them reduce power output by creating turbulance

rx7 ..... i did notice a difference in how quick my motor gets RPM's but with mine the cops are still looking at me with 12.5:1 flat top dual 3 inch exiting before the back tires. i still have insurance and tags on it for now.

From what ive read, flowmaster flows just as good as hooker. But on a 400 hp motor, hooker gave 5 more HP.

Go with Flowmaster. I always tell people to stay away from straight pipes and you see why.

yes, straight pipes are horrible, but they sure did impress my uncle bob in his pimped out trailer!
I think im gonna go with flowmaster 80, they seem to have the best sound, and pretty decent performance. I already have the 3" piping, i just need him to put on the muffler and redo the tips.

Go with the Flowmaster. I love the sound of my 80s. Gave a nice aggressive sound to my car.

you will have a muffler but I think it is a straight through muffler to give the best flow of all
