My buddy's WS6 and my brother's WS6 each had a Flowmaster on it when they bought them. They do sound good, and that is another reason for their popularity besides the name. Flowmasters are to mufflers like Holley was to carbs in the 60's. The first thing guys would do was junk their factory carb and "put a Holley on it." Did they run better? In many cases, not.

Yeah, I have one. It was the only mod on my car when I bought it. Not even !CAGS. Anyway, I love the sound, and besides, with a cutout I dont have to worry about flow issues.

i picked up 32 rwhp swiching to a TSP Rumbler and removing my cats.
i think the reason why people keep buying them for f-bodies is because they do sound good, and they work well for OTHER cars.

I didnt do my research and actually bought an 80 series for my Camaro when i first bought it. Never have been so dissapointed in my car. Flowed like crap sounded like crap.

well, as stated above the 80 series replacement mufflers for our cars do suck, but the 1-chamber mufflers used for the TD setups flow/sound great. 2 totally different setups and 2 totally different results.

My LT1 had a Flowmaster on it when I bought it. I junked it.
I had a Flowmaster on my SS for a little while due to a deal that was impossible to pass up, and it sounded good until I went LT/ORY and then it had crazy rasp, so now I'm back to a stock catback.
