i just got rid of my flows too. went to the true duals, from lanes. probably not the sound your lookin for, but it sounds great. ive been wanting to get rid of the flows for a while, and i can say im dam happy i did. im really not too sure what sounds close to a flowmaster. as stated above, the borla sounds wicked, but to me, it doesnt sound anything like a flowmaster. you could maybe try corsa.a guy i work with has that on his 02 T/A and it sounds really good, and its not quite as aggressive a sound as the borla. good luck with whatever you decide

I run hookers through ORY and Borla. I have the Borla catback but divert 100% through the muffler. Its somewhat loud, but definitely not overbearing. The sound, however, is very very good. Definitely one to consider.

Go borla. Sounds great and is adjustable for sound. I have had mine for over a year now, and love it.
