Well, on my V6 I have a flowmaster 40 serries. It sounds good, but I have
bigger and better plans in the works. As soon as Bernd gets some O2 Simms,
I'm gonna take off my catalytic converter. Why? 1. I live in an area
without emission testing. And 2. Even a High flow cat doesn't have a high
enough flow rate in my book.
As far as mufflers & cat back systems, I think the flowmasters suck
compared to the dynomax ones. The flowmasters looked cheaply made, and i'm
begining to sense from the sound of the muffler its toast. I've seen the
dynomax mufflers, and they just look like theyre better built.
Just my 2 cents worth,
