Replacing Corsa with "American Thunder" Flowmaster
my corsa is shot...and i got it used so i don't have a reciept. Another 300 dollars for a new muffler isn't in my price range....i saw the horse power tv recently and i can get a muffler like that, flowmaster, pretty cheap. I've heard flowmaster sucks unless you get the race series ones, will i really be able to notice a difference in performance. I race every week, so i know what hte car runs.

The 80 series Flowmaster flows terribly. If you're going to just replace the muffler, buy either the magnaflow or the Hooker replacements.
Granted the Flowmasters have a great sound. That series muffler just sucks..

Stock muffler- ~200 cfm flow
Flow 80 series- ~360 cfm
Magnaflow- ~1100 cfm
See the difference? DONT PUT ON THE CHOKEMASTER! Go with Magnaflow

Another vote for NOT using FM 80 series.
A buddy had a DynoMax crossflow that came apart on him. Blew out the guts... It may be a fluke, but I wouldn't get one after that.
You have all the right pipes, so you just need a muffler and the Magnaflow is better flowing than most, even Corsa.
About size, the only one that matters is the inlet. The smaller outlets don't affect anything since there are 2. If you have 3" tailpipes, any muffler shop can mod them to go onto the 2.5" outlets.
