Flowmonster not Flowmaster???

Anyone ever heard of these. I found a crossflow muffler on ebay that fits our cars for around 40 bucks. They seem to have an almost identical look to the flowmaster.

Re: Flowmonster not Flowmaster???

There are a few out there that look almost identical.

IMCO makes one that looks the same, but cheaper. I bought their Pro Series muflers for my last car - great sound, and better quality than flowmaster. They coat the whole muffler, so even the welds dont rust. Thick guage metal too.

Edelbrock makes some that look similar too. They have a little different sound. Not quite as throaty, but deeper tone. Never bought them

Cherry Bomb are the same exact mufflers as IMCO, with a different name. They even use the same series' and model numbers. Lookie here:

Re: Flowmonster not Flowmaster???

they do make a cat-back for these cars, but nobody I have found sells it. Also, it only fits "83-85" single cat.
