are you guys sure. I heard flowmaster sound good but dont give much horsepower compared to others. I want something that sounds good and gives a decent hp increase.

all wrong!! MACs are louder and flow much much better. plus flows are so common these days that the sound is almost boring. MACs are INSANE!!!

People are swapping over to Magnaflow X's, cat backs and mufflers.

They sound great and give more power than flowmaster.

Those screaming flowmaster have only had experiance with one brand.

I don't know if Magnaflows are gonna do it for him in an '88. I think, and I hate to say this, that Flows really WERE king back then.

Although, NO2's set up sounds real nice! Wink

What the hell......mufflers are mufflers, they don't care if they're bolted to a 5 year old car or 40 year old car. If by king, and you meant back in 1988, I can see that.

It's 2004 now buddy, get out from under the rock.

Here is a sound clip of my Magnaflow exhaust! IMO, I haven't heard a cat-back system that sounds any better than this.

Download & unzip!
