changed mymind on a catback. here's why.

i was going to get the flow A/T. when i priced it on summit it was 355. well it must have been on sale b/c now its 453.

i didn't mind paying 355 for the flows. but there is no way i would pay 453. for it. not when i can put a system together like Jerflash did with the jegs and magnaflow muffler. it will give me more power,but it won't be as deep.

i am willing to saccrafice the deepness. the main reason why i wanted the flows is b/c it will sound awesome when i get my cam done. imo.

i just hope that the magnaflow will sound good with a cam and the mac Y-pipe and the mac test pipe that i have now.

so in closing. i am goin with the jegs/magnaflow set-up that Jerflash turned me onto. i'm acutally sorry i ever changed my mind. i allready had the 22" tips that are 2.5" in and 3.5" slash cut, but i sold them to my neighbor last week.

but with everything priced out including new tips same as above, it will cost me 372. bucks. and will flow alot better.

sorry flow guys. i'm not knocking anyone who paid this or more for their flows. i just can't justify it.
thanks for reading.
Jay.

No, it wasnt on sale. For whatever reason, summit and the other stores have always sold it at wayyyy below what the list price was (like $600). Just last week I think, I noticed the price skyrocketed all over the internet. At first, I thought flowmaster had discontinued the system, but it's still on their site.
