obviously a tune, and flowmasters suck. What size exhaust piping are you using?

The exhaust is fine... I doubt you will be able to tell a diff in mufflers, but some say they did gain from swapping to a diff make muffler.. You need to get with a tuner,check out sponsors to the right.. Just a tune will make a night and day diff..

I think you need to retune it.. 60 isn't worth a ****.. Get aretune before you go changing exhaust set ups... If the exhaust is flowing too much the FM'ers are stopping it.. Try out a retune...
