Has anyone out there with a 305 TBI put a Flowmaster 80 series on their stock exhaust?? How does it sound? I'm thinking of getting one and removing my cat too.

thanx

Few 80 series on there......

 

I had that set-up for a while, sounded pretty good. But anything will sound better than stock.

 

I got the flowmaster 80 on my (otherwise stock) 91 RS with the TBI. It has a nice deep sound, but it isnt exactly loud. I recently discovered a hole in my i pipe (cuz my muffler was falling off) and got it replaced with a 3'' versus the stock 2 1/4'' it had. My recomendation, if ur gunna spend the money to get the flowmaster 80, spend the extra to get the 3'' i pipe. its WELL worth it cuz its louder and deeper.

I got my 80 for $200 from a local shop installed with 2 1/2'' tailpipes and 2 polished stainless 2 1/2'' tips. i later got my i pipe for $100 installed and i was kicking myself for not getting them done at the same time (with the muffler he was offering it for 85). I like the sound of my flowmaster (especially with the i pipe), but it still is kinda mellow on how loud it is, but i love the pitch. if i ever get my microphone working on my laptop, ill take some sound clips.

hope this helps

P.S.

if you remove the cat, itll sound even better, but i cant do that cuz i live in Cali and they have all their evil smog rules.... but if u can take off the cat and do the 80, do it, but get a bigger i pipe

Whats the tail pipe setup like on an 80? Is is split duals or both on one side? I already have a 3" i pipe, but with a stockish muffler, and want to upgrdae, but for sure want split duals. Thanks.

The one I had on the car was Split. One pipe on both sides.
I still have it. To bad you not closer!!

 

yea, the flowmaster 80 has the split duals like ur looking for. some of the 40s and 50s also r single in/dual out, but the 80 sounds best imo.

Are the 80's louder than the 40's or the other way around?

 

40 series/ 2Chamber are alot louder. 80 series has a nice deep rumble at idle and very noticeable at WOT.
The 40 series/2 chamber is very deep & load at Idle and very load at WOT, and can be heard from far away.
