I ditch my flow, you only have one if its stock style, for a $40 dynomax bullet and I love it, the tail pipe was $45 for a mandrel bent 3'' at a local muffler shop.

Flomaster is one of the worst flowing mufflers on the market. Get a bullet and turndown right off the y-pipe. Thats an exhaust!

search button sucks......they delete the history every month........if your going to put on long tube headers and a cat-less y-pipe.....dont buy loud mouth......it will be super loud....and sound like a glass pack......the bullet muffler will be loud but have a cleaner tone.......plan into the future go to ls1sounds .com and pick what you like......just remember what your hearing is idel and wot.......mine sounds good at both....but between 2000 and 3500.....it doesn't sound good

+1 on the cutout the flowmaster doesnt flow as well on f bodys as other cars its the design of the muffler ,but the sound is hard to beat a cutout is mounted before the catbck and opened when racing or dropping panties ect ect.a cutout is cheaper than any cat back available

FlowBasterd is one of the worst mufflers to get as far as performance goes. If your looking for a budget Cat-Back, I would get the Magnaflow(Stainless) or Hooker(aluminized).
