flowmaster?
just got my 02 ws6 bout 2 weeks ago. the previous owner had a flowmaster installed thts the only mod. i know from reading on ls1tech that flowmaster on an ls1 sucks. MY question is how bad will it hurt my times in the 1/4. im going to the strip friday to get a base time.

Here we go again.................. lol. It wont hurt anything at all, the car does gain from it and I have dyno numbers from that set up to prove it. You just dont gain as much as other kits out there thats all..... If you like the sound leave it. If you dont or believe in the "it makes your car slower" then change it.

All these guys are absolutely right. Flowmaster will NOT hurt performance over stock (unless you had a Firehawk or SS with SLP dual/dual stock). It's just that the gains are a bit less than the straight-thru style mufflers.

i have true duals with sweet thunder mufflers right now and they sound great, but if i went with another catback i would say slp loudmouth, i used to have one and it sounds so good, way better than the flowmaster on my old z28

I have a FM on my stock TA. It sounds like a rocket ship. Interested to see what it sounds like when I throw on LT's. Will probably go with a Magnaflow at some point and sell this one for dirty cheap.

On top of what everyone says, blowmasters are made out of galvanized aluminum and will corrode and rust rather quickly. They tend not to last very long in comparison to those made out of stainless steel (such as Borla, Magnaflow, Corsa, and a few others.)
