Which Series Flowmaster Do Yall Recommend? Im probably about to throw a cheap flowmaster muffler on my 99 t/a to hold me over til I can save up and get a borla. Which series flowmaster would sound the best? Thanks for your input
I have the 80 series I believe. Like was said above, they dont flow that great, but I have seen people claim that they do. I will find out for myself in the next couple of weeks. After my Heads and Cam and Cutout install, I am going to dyno tune. I will get the tune down then dyno with cutout open, then closed. One person on here stated that there was only a 3rwhp differance between his open cutout and his flowmaster. We'll see. They do sound good though. Especially after LT headers and ORY 
Good luck
Good luck i have a used one that i took off my 00 TA a few weeks ago that im selling. its got about 7000 miles on it. it was on my stock exhaust so it should fit ur TA. let me know if your interested.

I am totally interested. You can email me at Eshop43@aol.com or send me a pm. Let me know what your asking and how much to ship? How did this set-up sound on your car?
I had a flowmaster muffler on there, sounded alright. It was a smooth sound tho, but flow wasnt too good. Theres only one type i believe that will fit up with our cars and the stock exhaust setup.

just so you know I took my car for a dyno tune..I had a flowmaster and I picked up 25rwhp with my cutout open!!!! so thats how good one is I would save my money till you get what you want..I hear that hooker makes a nice one
I do have a cam so that might be why I picked up so much..I changed to TD's after I seen that

How loud is the magnaflow? I have heard its quieter than the Flowmaster!!
Thats one of the reason that I havent changed it yet. My Flowmaster VS LM2. Mine was louder at Idle, Cruise and WOT.
The only ones I like are the 1-chamber race mufflers, and the 40 series 2-chambers, neither will be a direct swap, but any competent muffler shop can run dual tailpipes off of one, sorta like the GMMG setup. I've done that twice and it worked out well.

wtf...why do people insist on muffler replacements?
JUST GET A CUTOUT! not only will it be very loud and sound pretty decent, you'll be able to cap it when you want to be quiet AND when you get a decent exhaust system, you'll be able to KEEP the cutout instead of pissing away $100 like you did on the flowmaster muffler. it makes no sense to weld in a muffler. get a cutout or save your money. i'm not trying to sound mean, i'm just telling you a cutout will be much louder, have the convinience of being able to cap it when you want a quiet ride and you'll always be able to use it for future exhaust setups.
