Hi i'm new I was thinking of buying a flow master 80 series to replace my stock muffler, is this gonna give me a deep but not obnoxious sound? Thanks!

AVOID flowmasters at all costs. Very bad on the highway and drone really bad and drive you nuts. Stock muffler is better than a flowmaster. Go with magnaflow or Borla. I hate my flowmasters on my El Camino. My buddy who used to work at a muffler shop told me he took more off than he ever put on, I should have listend to him. I have a Borla adjustable on my Camaro and Magnaflow on my 2004 F-150 FX-4 and I love them both. Read any exhaust thread on here and everyone says the same thing.

thanks, what kind of magna flows would you recomend, and would reccomend the whole system cats back, or would the just the muffler do?

i just bought an 02ss with a flowmaster cat back, it doesnt sound bad i just know it doesnst flow well compared to slp or magnaflow or any other high end cat back, also no resonance and no harsh interiior noise, sounds pretty good from outside also

thanks, all i appreciate it

imo the best cat back if you dont plan on lt's and ory and no cats is a slp loudmout, if you plan on headers and other stuff get a magnaflow as the sound will not be amnoxious. its all up to you

i got the dynomax ultraflow catback, really deep sound, but not too loud. a bit like a boat. tiny drone at 2000 rpm. pretty inexpensive, too.

i like my flowmaster cat-back, it has a nice deep tone, i picked up .1 and 1mph on a hotter day 1/8 mile

Any chance of you posting a sound clip or video? The section for that cat back on ls1sounds.com is lacking severely.

i installed my magnaflow catback about two months ago...its not much louder than stock now but its getting a little louder as it breaks in...sound is awesome at around 3K rpms and WOT...couldn't be happier...getting some LTs and ORY in the next couple of months..can't wait to hear how it sounds...go with the magnaflow catback bro

stock mufflers flow less. i gained 6-7 rwhp years ago when i added the flowmaster.
