hey nuzee was that you running side by side with a red z06 conversion convertible at the track?nice run. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <hr /></blockquote>Yeah, that was me. On our second run, I cut a .503 RT and still lost. The ZO6 pulls hard in third.

Here's a video of that run:

Thanks all for your replies! I believe there is truth in all of them. I was just getting perturbed at the "lesser informed" people at another website (CZ28.com) when they claim the FMs perform worst than stock.

Re: Why does Flowmaster have such a poor reputation?

I know this topic might be old but I figured I'd contribute anyways. I know a guy who has a stock '00 A4 Z28 and he actually lost ET when he put his Flowmaster on. I decided not to go with FM because 1) EVERYBODY and their mother has one, and 2) I didnt want something so loud that I was going to get tired of it.
