Flowmaster for the C6
Flowmaster for the C6 I was wondering if anyone knows anyone that has used this exhaust yet.
http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/pr...oducts_id=4050
My Dad was wanting to get an exhaust catback for his C6 and I was wondering if anyone knows how this setup sounds.He wants his louder but not obnoxious.I know Flomasters have always sounded good.I just dont know about this one or how it flows.
I tried to get him to add a couple of cutouts,but he isnt having that.He doesn't want to cut up his stock exhaust.He was looking at the Borla,but I just came across the Flowmaster,so any feedback would be helpful.Its like $350 from one vendor and $415 from another.I'm going to check and see what some sponsers can get it for.
I put this in the Vette section as well.I just dont know if anyone knows about this setup!

On F-bodies the Flowmaster sounds good.There's just is no power to be found on the F-bodies.So to be honest I cant see the Flowmaster sounding to much like ***.My Pops doesn't care about the power,as long as he's not losing it.He just wants more of a rumble but not too loud.The price really isnt an issue.Why pay more though if they are sorta close.Look at the Hooker for F-bodies.Its one of the highest flowing cat-backs you can get.For almost half the price of most of its competition.Like he said he is hooked on the Borla.I'm just not a big fan of Borla.
what is there to hate about the borla? it sounds amazing and is a good quality exhuast system. but my favorite exhuast on the vette is the corsa. its a top quality exhuast w/ great flow and it sounds awsome! there is nothing wrong with magnaflow either. buy and exhuast for the sound, not the 5 hp gain over the other......

I know pretty much what all the systems sound like.I was just wanting to know if anyone has heard the Flowmaster yet.My Dad really doesnt care about if it adds power.Certainly doesnt want to lose it though.He just wants a more throatier sound.If the Flowmaster sounds good and doesnt loose power over stock then why pay double.Pennies make dollars,even though cost really isnt even an issue.
Apparently alot of people are just saying Flowmaster sucks and probably never even heard it on a C6,except for a couple.They sound great on almost everything they're put on.Only thing proven is they dont add much power over stock,if any on an F-body,but it still sounds good.
Everybody always has something negitive to say about flowmaster, how it dosent gain any power, and sounds like crap, IMO i think it sounds good, (never heard it on C6 though) but really for the cost it is good exhaust and definately better than stock. If people are going to say that flowmaster gives loss of power than please show the dyno graph to prove it.

I just crack up at people that say a flowmaster catback on any car (fbody, c6, whatever) will lose power over stock.....it's just total BS. Just the increase in tubing diameter alone will increase flow over stock. Granted, other aftermarket catbacks will outperform a flowmaster catback hands down, but the stock exhaust will not. Somebody show me a dyno sheet with a flowmaster catback on ANY car, and then show me the dyno sheet after swapping back to the stock exhaust and miraculously gaining horsepower......otherwise all this blowmaster bashing is pure crap.

It's the 80 series crossflow muffler that has to be mounted transversly at the rear of the car (like in f-bodies) that doesn't gain much performance. I have flowmaster 1 chamber race mufflers on my dual setup in an LSx car......and blow it does not.

i would put money that the 3 inch slp dual dual that came on the hawks and ss's from the factory flow better than flowmaster. i really like the sound of flowmaster, but it is def the worst flowing muffler there is. if your going for all out power, and it sounds like you are, then id ditch the flows. my friend has a 56 chevy 210 with a 364 cubic inch motor a roots blower and a 200 shot and had single chamber flomaster and ditched them for dynomax mufflers (not bullets) and noticed a huge difference in power and throttle responce. but like i tell everyone, dont get an exhuast for its power, get it for its sound.....

Buy a MagnaFlow good price and complete stainless steel FlowMaster will rot off the car in 6 months. Let me know I will get you the best price on the MagnaFlow system.

The problem is that the Flowmaster isn't stainless and just doesn't perform as well as most catbacks out there. If you're goin to do something to your car, do it right the first time and spend a little extra to get what you really want. Also, Flowmaster and Corvette don't mix.
