Default Flowmaster 50 Series

Anyone here running them?
Delta or Super, as long as they're 50 Series, not 40/44 Series.

Yes, and I love them. To me they have that classic Flowmaster sound at about 80% of the 40's volume.

Thanks guys. Do either of you experience any drone at any speed/rpm with the 50 series?

ss31, thanks for the vid.
Sounds like a good rap on decel after the burnout.
I've got 40's on my '73 which sound great. I'm just putting the exhaust together for my '65 coupe and I'm really afraid I might get a drone with the same mufflers on that car, that's why I'm considering the 50 series. I think you've convinced me brother. That is just about exactly the tone I'm looking for.

I have them on my 71 LS5 . Love them, perfect tone to me. I bought the Flowmaster exhaust system which included the series 50 mufflers as well as rectangular factory style stainless tips for the finishing touch. Fit was good.
