Nothing on One-Chamber Flowmasters yet?
Nothing on One-Chamber Flowmasters yet?
I know I asked earlier and no one said much about them. I haven't seen anyone talking about them either. I don't really check every single post though. So does anyone have any opinions on what they sound like?
Hmm, I must suck, I'm having a hard time finding stuff on them. I know they are loud, I'm just wondering if they have a deep sound to them, because I know some people accuse Flowmasters of being tinny sounding, especially without cats...which I don't have a cat on.

I had dual 3" single chambers on my 69 LeMans. It had a very deep rumble to it. It was no where near the typical tinny sound that most flowmasters have. It did have to much of a drone to it, so I went down to 2.5" pipes, with the 3" mufflers, and that helped. But man it was loud. A good loud though. But no, there was no tinny sound at all.
OK thanks I just wanted to know. The only thing I've heard them on is a 91 Mustang, and that thing is putting out close to 500 horsepower, so I'd imagine anything on that would sound awesome. I'd probably only do a single 1 chamber in place of the stock muffler and just run a 3" pipe out the back.

A friend of mine has something similar to that. He has a 94 Chevy truck with the stock 305, and a single chamber flowmaster. After the muffler, it y's into 2 2.5" pipes, and then goes back. This truck sounds better than the LeMans I had with 2!!

Well I'm assuming that whether I go with the Bullets or the 1 chamber, they both are hopefully louder than the 80 series I have on now. It's just when I took the cat off, the muffler started making a sound like a golf ball was in it, and I hear this is common. So hopefully the 1 chamber won't make that same sound.

I had 3" 1 chambers on a 91 Mustang LX coupe a few years back (302, Edelbrock heads&Intake, E-303, Vortech S-trim with aftercooler=517 RWHP). It had longtubes, a Bassani X-pipe, and i chambers with turndowns (no cats). It was extremely loud, and had the car not been wrecked two weeks later I probably would have changed it. I have also run a single bullet muffler (3") with a turndown on my SS, which has cats, and it was also loud (400rwhp LT1). Tailpipes on both of them would have helped a lot, I'm sure, but I have yet to hear an LT1 that sounded better than that one. Of course, the cam (.568/.592, 236/242) helped a lot !
Yes, the spintechs do a cost a little more. I paid about $30 more for my spintech than I would have paid for an 80 series. It just comes down to "you get what you pay for." Trust me, it sounds awseome and I get compliments all the time. I think Evil also has a spintech and he posted a sound clip of it so do a search. My muffler is the 343SC model, and they've also got race mufflers if you want something a little louder. www.spintechmufflers.com -89IRO
