Why do so many people dislike Flowmaster?
 
Why do so many people dislike Flowmaster? I have em and I like it. I have to admit it does sound pretty damn good. I can stand 200 feet away and still hear it idling. :devil: I haven't done any dynos so is it the diff. in hp/tq compared to other exhaust setups? Just curious. As always your input is always welcome.

I loved the sounds of my flows. It the performance I gained with the magnaflow that I really like :D

love my delta flows. can set off car alarms with the rumble and talk in normal voice at highway speeds. all with a v8 sblazer with supercomp full length headers and cross over pipe. entire exhaust is just over 4 foot long dumping in front of axle.

most people dislike them because there is more performance to be had with other mufflers. no one that i know of dislikes them because of the sounds. i have flowmaster but will switch to magnaflow when ever i can.

I had dual exhaust with no muffler and it sounds good at idle or reving it up, but when accelerating it just sound like air rushing out. Now ive got a 40 series single/dual with split side exit. I like it ALOT more. Good cruising tone and I like how at certain rpms like around 45or 55mph it has a good loud sound for getting peole to turn and look.Now to just get my headers on and turn it into true dual like I want.

I like my 70 series big block muffler quite a bit.

I had an 04 SS come into work the other day that had a dual/dual Flowmaster. It was definatly bigger than my 40 series. It sounded louder than mine and I thought that the 40 series were the loudest. I wrote the part # off the muffler but cant remember it.

10 series 1 chamber are the loudest :D

I think they are over rated ... they put to much into sound than they do performance.
