Yep. Flows suck. It takes dyno numbers for people to see the light. I had the same issue, shitty numbers with 40's. So to the trash they went.

I got nothing bad to say about Corsa other than the fact they costs soo much. Power gains arent gonna be any more or less. IMO they make a great product. But what comes with that price tag is a name, sound and a muffler that got alot of R&D to devoted to reduce resonance. No one muffler on their cat-backs is the same, period. Thats why they dont sell a universal muffler. I wish I could find the picture of an actual cut away Corsa muff. It has a MESS of tiny chambers but yet the muffler is straight through. The illustration Corsa has on their site does not even do the muffler justice. Ill stop typing now.

well, i keep hearing people say how bad flowmaster's suck, but here's my thoughts.
i am not a fan of these sorry *** single in dual out systems. either go true duals or dont bother in my opinion.
here's a test i did on my own ride...the cuda. this was w/ my old motor, a 12:1 hydraulic cammed iron headed 440. ran 11.40s at 117 mph on the motor.
it had a pair of 1 7/8" primary hooker headers, full 3" exhaust system (w/ crimped bends by my exhaust guy, not mandrel bends that everyone thinks is mandatory) w/ a pair of old style 40 series 2 chamber flowmasters. this was through full tailpipes, factory exhaust tips, etc. it ran the exact same ETs and MPH through the full exhaust system as it did w/ open headers...and i did rejet the carb to try and tune it in, no difference. same night back to back test at the track.
this system was not a restriction until i put the current motor in making roughly 100 more hp and turning another 600 rpm. so i upgraded to a 4" system w/ Flowmaster top 10 race 2 chambers. guess what? no restriction.
maybe i just keep getting ahold to superduper hi performance flowmasters that arent avaliable to anyone else?
those old original 3" 40 series flowmasters are now on my truck
