Default Flowmaster mufflers

Saw Two Guys Garage or Horsepower on TV and they had a polished Flowmaster muffler that looked great. They said it is similar to the 40 series mufflers. Anybody have them? It would be nice to have LT-1 tips on them. :thumbs:

I don't have the polished one but have the C4 tips welded onto the ends. That's the way mine was done. Looks stock but doesn't sound like it ;) .

Check the Flowmaster website, they are now making stainless mufflers. Nothing specific to the vettes yet, but you could use a universal part number perhaps.

I had the flowmasters on an earlier C4 but now have eliminators on my 87. I freakin love em! It now sounds like a Corvette especially when you stand on it! :party:

I just went from stock mufflers on my 91 coupe to dual Flowmaster 40's with chrom show tips...what a difference in sound! I forgot to mention that the mufflers aren't polished but are silver in color.

I have Flows on my Vette, you can see them via link, but they are just painted black on have chrome tips. Not too loud, not too quiet. Just right for me. :)

I have the 40 series, they sound great outside, but the resonance inside the car is too loud. :cuss

Anybody else drop it into a lower gear like 2nd or 3rd in traffic just so you can hear those sweet notes ? :steering:

I do that with stock mufflers, but I just flip the fan switches to keep her very cool.

Flowmasters are great and the sound is awsome. There's a little resonance with the longtubes but the sound outside is well worth it. :D
