Default Flowmaster on an X pipe

How would single chamber flows sound on an X pipe TD setup. From what I'm thinking, maybe a little too raspy? I think they sound good on an H pipe but never heard flows on an X. Any opinions? Thanks

It would sound a lot like a Mustang. For sound, it would kickass, but the single chamber Flowmasters don't kill the drone as well as other mufflers.

i love how my flowmaster sounds with the cam/headers/ory.....but it sucks for power and i probably would go duals with bullets if i were to change anything

It would sound like this http://www.buyavette.net/MOV02308.MPG

The drone is not too bad and not rasp at all! Mine rasped like hell with the ory. If you want it quite just keep the engine under 2500.

We did them on and H system before and it sounded pretty good. Very similar to an X with Twisters IMO.

I have them on an x pipe, and its definately not raspy. Very loud, deep, kick-*** sound! but it does resonate, thats the only complaint most have. I, however, dont mind the resonation.

No rasp with mine, just great sound. Here is a link to my car on ls1 sounds.
