Mine got better going from twisters to flows... Even if it had gone the other way I'd still keep the flows... Sound is incredible.

How can a 1-chamber Flowmaster be restrictive?? It's not like he's using a 80 series Flowmaster.

Its fact that they flow so much better than bullets that took away my low end power, dont you know that you need backpressure for low end torque????? And one chambers flow just fine anyone that says otherwise can $uck it

Everyone that doesn't know any better hears "Flowmaster" and automatically assumes that they are just for sound and hurt performance. I'm halfway considering the Flowmaster race bullets when I do TDs on the T/A. I had the 1-chambers on my '02 Z and loved them, but it wasn't lowered and I will probably need more ground clearance now.

Charlie, your Z sounds wicked, I don't think you would've ever admitted that your car lost performance. I had to read it here!

Thats a blanket statement based on hearsay. Yes the 80 series does suck, but thats it. The 1-chamber will outflow just about any other muffler out there except a bullet-style muffler.

I've got the exact same setup, just with a built 347 motor and a M6. Mine actually felt a little stronger on the bottom end than the Borla XR1s i used to have on there.....

Yes, everyone, i changedd from REAL Borla XR1's to Flowmaster 1 chambers. Trust me, the flowmaster 1chambers are hands down the best TD in my opinion anyways. You need to hear them in person.

Congrats CNVRTmyZ, good to hear you like your new exhaust setup

I don't understand how Flowmaster 1 chambers can flow better than bullets? You can stick a piece of 3" pipe clean through my bullets.
