Default this guy called ls1tech idiots

I was talking to a guy i used to go to highschool with.. this ford guy, well hes got a 70 Ford Torino and wants to race me, but heres what was said in this convo:
EastSideTorino18 [11:34 PM]: making fun of ur exhaust
TransAm98WS6 [11:34 PM]: my true-duals?? or that GMMG i was going to get?
EastSideTorino18 [11:35 PM]: the GMMG
EastSideTorino18 [11:35 PM]: its a piece of **** and a half
TransAm98WS6 [11:36 PM]: oh.. hhaha well i really dont think any exhaust that is revved up sounds good on a ls1, it only sounds good at WOT.. thats just my .002 though. U havent even heard the GMMG in person dude... if u had u would know it actually sounds pretty good.
EastSideTorino18 [11:36 PM]: umm, yea and have u heard flowmaster?
TransAm98WS6 [11:37 PM]: yeah, haha NO one that owns a ls1 f-body likes flowmasters... , but they dont... at least on LS1tech or Ls1.com.. I always am told how shitty flowmasters are. They are ok on stock headers and y pipe, but once u get LTs, and ORY they sound like ****.
EastSideTorino18 [11:38 PM]: LS1 tech is a bunch of idiots

Well that convo goes on, he I guess has this new motor thats going to be running 9s soon... which one i get a little more stuff done on my car ill race him. hes a big retard and keeps giving me **** about putting money into my car, cause he has a Gixxer bike that runs 10 stock and he thinks hes all cool. Hes getting a twin turbo on his torino and wants to run me, well when i get back down to dallas in april ill run him and post a vid.

I have 3 fords and I think ls1tech is one of the best message boards on the internet, that guy is a idiot, flowmasters are shitty, and im sure they sound like **** on a ls1 (like just about any ls1 exhaust ) but I dont know about flows for sure because my z28 had borla on it at first which i didnt like so i just ran a dump over the axles and that sounded better than the borla IMO and it was much cheaper.

Flowmasters just don't make power on LS1's.

Their Camaro muffler is too restrictive.

They sound just fine.
