Flowmaster muffler question
I've seen that many of the vendors sell 50 series (3 chamber) flowmasters that are a direct-fit for 85-91 corvettes (with the elbow piece and the muffler hanger attachment). I'm considering buying flowmasters in the near future, but was more interested in the 40 series (2 chamber) mufflers. I haven't been able to find them in a direct-fit style for my 91. Has anyone seen these or do I have to buy a universal fit and fabricate it to fit?? Thanks, Tom

Re: Flowmaster muffler question (TA)
Tom, I had the 40 series, two chamber Flowmasters installed along with stainless steel tips. All parts welded, no clamps. I love the sound outside of the car. Inside, at low speed and RPM's, the resonance is very annoying to me. If it were a stick, it would sound even better outside. I like the look of the tips, only wish I had them just a bit farther inside. Hope this helps. :seeya

I have flowmaster 40 series mufflers on mine. Resonance is pretty annoying from 1200-2000rpm but I either shift around it or turn up the stereo. They sound wicked from the outside though! :cool:

Re: Flowmaster muffler question (TA)
So what have you heard as far as products that sound good outside but have a reasonble sound inside (i.e. the resonance is held to a minimum)? Is there such a product out there...is the 50 series quieter? Thanks.

Re: Flowmaster muffler question (krwzn)
The 50's sound pretty good with the CAT on. With the CAT off, it does resonate a little. I also like the Dynomax Ultraflows. I have one on my 2000 360 4x4 RAM and it sounds good.
