Is this possible? Flowmasters on a f-body? Would it be possible to weld in 40 series flowmaster mufflers into the "GMMG cat back"?

The Flowmaster 80 series sounds weird and not as good as a 5.0. So with some welding would this be possible?

HEy, how about welding 4 of these in place of the chambers.

Re: Is this possible? Flowmasters on a f-body? In my opinion the LS1 will never have the same sound as a 302 with dual exhaust, because they are to completely different engines. The LS1 doesn't sound no where as good as a LT1 does. True duals on the Ls1 sure help the sound but it will vever get that "5.0 " sound.

Re: Is this possible? Flowmasters on a f-body? dude, it all has to do with the y pipe. With the single system(two tips) it makes the "V-8 sound" but, it just rasps after you let of the gas. Check out this video.
The sound alone makes me want to buy some old fox body!

Verdad Gallardo Re: Is this possible? Flowmasters on a f-body? Well, the LT1/LT4 and L98 all have a pretty sweet sound to them, but its probably b/c of the firing order as previously mentioned. LS1s sound more "race inspired" while the other L motors sound deeper. Just my .02

Re: Is this possible? Flowmasters on a f-body? The GMMG exhaust doesn't sound the way it does because it has two mufflers, that was just to make the chambered mufflers less restrictive. It wont sound anything like an x-pipe setup.

5.0 mustangs are what got me into cars. When I was little my dad more Camaro irocs, Trans ams then I can count. I was never really into them or cars but, when he bought a 5.0 stang I got hooked on cars. Thats what really holds f-bodies back. Sure, they are fast but, the mustang gives off those sweet tones. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
