My 99 TA has a Flowmaster exhasut system that sounds mean and loud should I switch it on my 2000 I just bought? I see on this site that the flowmaster is not a great system for a TA but is it better than stock??????

It's definitely better than stock. If you like it then switch it out. Are you wanting loud or just a better sound? From what I've read on this site Flowmaster doesn't flow as good as the other popular name brands out there. IMO they sound great, but I would rather have a good flowing and sounding catback.

It's your car. If you really like the sound, go for it especially since it has already been paid for.

I don't have any first-hand dyno results, but almost everyone here will say the Flowmaster is the worst flowing muffler out there for the F-bodies, barely better than stock, while almost all other aftermarket mufflers are better and about the same HP level, with varying sound levels. Nothing sounds like the Flowmaster, tho!

I really liked the sound of the American Thunder catbak by Flowmaster that was on my 2000 Camaro. It sounded like I was at a nascar race when had it dyno tuned, car is gone but the system still hangs on the wall. The Borla system is what I just bought for my 99 TA...should sound rich.
