I am an old school muscle car guy and I always run flowmaster. I was thinking of replacing the stock muffler with a 2.5" inlet dual 2" outlet flowmaster 40 series. I realize to do this I will have to cut the rear pipe section Off my stock muff and cut the mounts as well then weld them onto the flow but, Im really curious what it would sound like being a chamber muff vs. a packed muff..uhhh no pun intended . I told my wife I want to do this and she said "Oh no not one of those glass packing things?" I told her if I do it and she hates it I'll put the stock one back on it. What do ya fellas think?

IMO Flow's belong on American V8's. On the honda forum some guy put Flowmasters on his automatic accord V6 and it sounded stupid as hell.

Had Flowmasters on my 65 Mustang back in the day. Love those mufflers but would never think or consider putting it on the G. You would be the first

I have two!

My Stillen gen 2 was too loud so I replaced the Stillen resonators with two Flowmasters. I don't know what model they are but they had to fit. They're about 2 feet long and 5 inches wide and are welded in. It sounds great! When I added the turbo, it really quieted down and made the sound a quite bit more mellow.

Nice thats exactly why I love this forum , thanks to burns420 I now know what it sound like and it's SICCCKKK. However that maybe a lil to loud for the wife but I'm guessin' with all the stock cats and sedan mid-pipe it would be much more mellow than that but the overall sound is pure flowmaster

Humbolt you should definately do this and send me a high quality sound clip. I've been an american V8 guy for a while too so I don't like most options for the G that are out there already.

Ya they have always sounded good on my '68 dodge dart gt and I wanna put on some of their race muffs onto my 69 dodge charger drag car. I even have one on my 93 chevy 4x4. I love rockin the flows plus, their headquarters and manufacturing plant is in northern cali like me!

IMHO if it sounds good on a V8, it might not sound good on a V6. Trial and error is about the only way along with sizing them for a 3.5 V6. Try youtube for exhausts for a Z or G.

I had a flowmaster on my 89 Toyota Pickup V6 and it sounded great! Nice rumble, but not obnoxiously loud while cruisin'. A great sound around town with the windows down, even though I was missing 2 cylinders. Then again, that's on a truck...
