Default Bow Tie Mufflers

Hello all,

Just spreading the word about a friend of mine's little project. He's in the works of getting a pattent on the design but for now just selling them as a novelty Muffler. Just trying to spread the word around to some more Chevy guys. This is what they look like before painting.

Novelty is the key word IMHO. Who's ever going to see those installed under a truck and what do the sound and flow like?

Looks like a Flow-tie...guess it would be nice on a show vehicle or a truck that's lifted to the moon

It all started out as just an idea for his muddin buggie, He built the first 2 to put on that, then he put a set of a old welding truck with a stock 454 in it, they sounded real good on that. Mine goes on either tomorrow or monday. I'll try to get a little sound clip to post up so everyone can hear it.

Don't know about the Corsa but I can build 40 Series Flow's, Thats the design that is on my truck right now. but Flows are all tack welded together on the insides and they are like 16 or 18 Ga metal, these are completely seemwelded and all 12 Ga stainless steel.

I don't care what all the others say.
That's pretty cool man.
I mean, It's not gonna save the world, but it's original and looks like good quality work.

Now go make me a GMC muffler!

Let's see one installed.
