I love my Flowermaster Super 44's. And it made a difference compared to stock muffler.

Im running the flowmaster super 44 3in in 3in out. It sounds good! Performance wise...I honestly dont think a muffler can change a whole lot!

they sound ok, and compared to a stocker i doubt they hurt performance any but compared to a straight through muffler i think they are a bit more restrictive.

I am going to put that theory to the test. I have been running a 50 series Flowmaster di/do for about 3 years and have run the 1/4mile many,many times with a best if 14.18 (also with cutouts open). I am putting on a corsa sport system and will be going to the track in April when it opens to see if there is a difference. I really doubt it will make much difference if any, but MANY people say flowmaster choke the engine. Time will tell.
