im just saying, a loud exhaust is gay on the street. A loud exhaust doesnt make a good sounding exhaust, its all about tone. Flow masters are crap, I love my dynomax, but im also going to get a banks catback when i get long tubes..

The Flowmaster 80 series on my 91 sounded decent to me. But I also had edel**** headers with a "test pipe".

Any louder with the 96 and it will be a cop magnet.

flowmaster makes nice kits and they are fairly cheap, but there are a bunch of mufflers that have better tone in my opinion.

i had flowmaster on my SS, wasnt bad sounded very nice, then i lost a tailpipe, but i still didnt change it. When they repaved my street and messed up my driveway transition, the intermediate pipe fatiuged and broke and i ripped the cat back off completely. I drove around for like 5 months with stock manifolds and an off road y pipe only... lol

I loved the way my Banks sounded. But the muffler split at the weld the week I was selling it. I popped a dynomax muffler in and it sounded almost the same. If you are doing headers, I'd keep what you have.

I've got a loudmouth on my GTP, and it sounds great... aside from the DRONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE on the highway. I'm probably going to cut the I-pipe and put a resonator on it this winter.

Yes, it will quiet it down. That's the point. If you have a really loud exhaust it can get old, fast.

Especially if:

1.) You can't hear your radio
2.) You attract unwanted attention
3.) You look like a poser because you don't have enough motor and the sound comes from all muffler (not that that's true in my case )

My exhaust sounds great when I accelerate. The problem is when I'm doing between 75-80 on the highway for a little while. The exhaust note doesn't change much and it gets pretty annoying.

Look at this mess. (you probably need to log in to see it)
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/at...-exh-006.1.jpg

Off topic, would you get under this car?
<-- needs rear tires

that one car is a mess....and only way i would get under that is if i gave it the "shake" test first.





Like i always say, "aint gotta be loud to be fast".
