I think I read on SPEEDTALK that flowmasters were not a very good muffler. NOT VENDOR BASHING just mentioning what I read...It seems that an engine builder on there had dyno data to back that up, but I can't say for sure they are not good mufflers..but if you aren't racing it doesn't mater I guess. I always liked the sound of plain jane turbo mufflers with a crossover pipe turned down no tail pipes. Nice and quiet(sorta) with a nice sound. I would never run dual exhaust without a crossover pipe..I HATE that cackling sound you get without it, if that makes sense.Almost like those hideous glass packs.

Tod Tod Tod.........I know you aint bashing on glasspaks. Man what am I gonna do? LOL I had glass paks on my first car with was a 1970 Ranchero with a 302 dual exhaust with no crossover pipe. I loved the way it sounded. Plus when they were nice and hot i stuck a hose in it to get all the "stuff" out of them. It had a nice deep rumble to it. Now I would go with flowmasters cuz I love that sound when they are bout halfway then dump down.

that is one of the reasons why i am leaning towards the pipes. STAINLESS WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY. ? ENDING JUST IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRE WOULD KEEP THE FUMES AWAY. FOUND A DEALER WHO SELLS CHEVY LOGO DESIGN EXHAUST TIPS. ( SOLD BY AUTO BARN ) SEE WHAT YOU THINK. APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP,FRANK

When I was a kid I used to use the turbo thrush mufflers,
Kind of tough to listen to the radio,but I got by.
I like the Borlas. For my second choice I would consider the Flow Masters.
My boy just put a set of magna flow mufflers on his vette and I must admit they sound pretty wicked.
