You want a deep and extremely aggresive exhaust? Get the Flows with a high flow or offroad h pipe - Youll make those magnaflow guys sound like ricers... _____________________________ - Your Worst Nightmare - (in reply to USAMuscle) Post #: 21

RE: Flow Master - 9/11/2004 3:57:51 PM    Leadfoot Posts: 425 Joined: 8/23/2004 Status: offline Someone here in town was pulled over because his car's exhaust was too loud and received a citation. Needless to say, the driver is going to court over it to fight it. My question is how do you determine when your exhaust is too loud for street use? I listened to quite a few sound clips and was just wondering. (in reply to Redline03GT) Post #: 22

RE: Flow Master - 9/11/2004 4:19:56 PM    Redline03GT Posts: 938 Joined: 7/22/2004 From: Houston Status: offline Ive always been wondering that myself. I know for sure that there is a certain decible range, but i cant really tell what it is so i just decided to be safe and have cats on my car. Problem is its really hard to win a case like that against a cop, so make sure you keep it on the down low when they pass by. _____________________________ - Your Worst Nightmare - (in reply to Leadfoot) Post #: 23

RE: Flow Master - 9/11/2004 4:39:02 PM    Leadfoot Posts: 425 Joined: 8/23/2004 Status: offline Keep it low? Then what's the purpose of spending $400-$500 on a new exhaust system. Sorry for being a smarta$$. Just couldn't help myself. LOL!!! You would think the muffler shops would know what is street legal and what isn't. After all, you are depending on their expertise. To be on the safe side, I think I'll ask some cops that I know to see what they say about the decibel levels. They can't all be jerks!!! (in reply to Redline03GT) Post #: 24

RE: Flow Master - 9/11/2004 5:50:04 PM    Redline03GT Posts: 938 Joined: 7/22/2004 From: Houston Status: offline Lol im not saying keep it low all the time. Just dont be a total dumbass like some of my friends and floor it WOT when you see a cop nearby. Thats just asking for trouble. Most muffler shops should help you out, so i think that would be a good idea. Best of luck to ya. _____________________________ - Your Worst Nightmare - (in reply to Leadfoot) Post #: 25

I love em and no trouble from police for me. I guess its because im in southern kentucky, but no cop around here cares about how loud a car is. _____________________________ BBK L/T's BBK Shorty O/R H Original 2 Chamber Flows (dumps) Hurst Shifter Kirban AFPR 3.73's (in reply to vfast) Post #: 27

RE: Flow Master - 9/12/2004 3:07:49 PM    timbo3282   Posts: 32 Joined: 3/21/2004 Status: offline I had Flows on my 97 Cobra and the drone was so bad you could not have a conversation or listen to the radio driving down the road. My '03 Cobra has the Magnaflow catack and it sounds GREAT and is quiet at cruising speed. I would never go back to flowmasters.... Find some guys in your area with different exhausts and have a listen before you buy anything. _____________________________ 2003 Mustang Cobra Magnaflow Stainless Catback SOLD - 1997 Mustang Cobra #4927 Tremec TKO 600 Bassani Stainless X Pipe w/ Cats (in reply to USAMuscle) Post #: 29

RE: Flow Master - 9/12/2004 3:45:51 PM    USAMuscle Posts: 1405 Joined: 9/12/2003 From: United States Status: offline MAC Flowpath mufflers combined with an off-road H-pipe sounds incredible. Really deep muscle car sound. Sounds much like a beefy 351 on a 4.6 Mustang. Unfortunately they are some of the worst flowing mufflers around. It's a tradeoff. Usually you sacrifice sound quality for performance, and vice versa. _____________________________ Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. (in reply to timbo3282) Post #: 30
