You will need to have one made from an exhaust shop. The stock y-pipe wont fit with aftermarket headers.

hey does yours sound like a golf bouncing around inside the muffler when u gun the accellerator....
ive herd several flows sound like golfballs...and ive herd rumors that most of the flows have that noise....

my flowpros do that nasty noise.......


and how loud are they at idle and how loud at cruising speeds

i know there real loud if you accellerat real fast.

haha u got it man...at around 2000-2500 rpms....sounds like poopy! If i had it to do all over again, i would get hooker aerochamber, but what can ya do?? other than that, i LOVE my flowmaster to death...i think u can eliminate the rattle tho somewhat by leaving the catalytic converter on...mine is off. I'm not for sure on that one.

It sounds very nice at cruising speed, louder than hooker.

At idle, flowmaster is louder....at wide open throttle they're about the same. If you want a loud cruising muffler, then flowmaster would be ur best bet

he probably has the flowmaster 40...the ones made for our cars are the flowmaster 80 series, that fit horizontally along the car

Or maybe American Thunder, its there loudest as far as i know, i just got mine put on. At idle it's just a tad louder than my terminator i had on there before, but it brings tears to my eyes when give it a little juice. Flowmaster :rockon:
