Default Could anyone Recommend the FlowMaster Force 2 ?

I want to replace my stock exhaust system on my 93 6SP. Summitt is selling the Flowmaster Force 2 exhaust system for $580.00 delivered to my home, but i keep hearing about the interior resonance problems that this exhaust system creates with in a C4 vette, are these stories true or are they discussing earlier Flowmaster system? could you recommend the Flowmaster Force 2 and save almost $400 when compared to it's rival exhaust system (coras) price? is it a case that you get what you pay for?
thanks mbbriggs
I would appericate hearing your Flowmaster Force 2 experences.

I've been running the Force 2 on my 86 for a couple of years and love it. Fairly quiet at cruise but sounds awesome when you open it up. No resonance at all.

I've been running the Force II system for almost 10 years, very little resonance and sounds great at WOT.

Well all I can say is that the Force II system is probably the easiest to install, and sounds absolutely retarded at WOT. As for resonance, ya there is a little bit but what aftermarket exhaust doesn't. Oh and you cant beat the price.

I've never really heard of a resonance problem with these. Perhaps someone is confusing these w/ the crappy, ratty Flowmaster 40s. I've heard the Force II system on an LT1 and think it sounds beautiful.

Id be curious to hear these...Had the pricey-azz Delta Flow 50's on the 89 and it resonated. Not as bad as the 40 series, but enough to irritate me if I had someone in the car. Anyone know the CFM rating on those muffs?

I have them on my 92 LT1 . At first around 39 to 41 mph I thought it had a little resonance but now I don't notice it. I still long to hear the exhaust sounds we had with the old porters & smitty systems. Pure music ,not the harsh wailing we now hear. I'm stuck in the 50's.

Default Some Flowmaster Force II Questions....

I have a few quesions for the in-the-know guys....

How restrictive is a 1993 stock C4 exhaust and is it worth it (money/performance/sound ) to install the Flowmaster Force II catback? (I only have 15k miles)

....and finally, what kind of HP gaines will one see by installing the Flow Force II system? I just noticed today the Force II system uses smaller diameter piping (2.5) over the larger 2.75 stock size piping - what's up with this?

For what it's worth, I like the way the stock system looks from the rear of my Corvette, no welds or u brackets, it just look nice an clean but really desire a deeper, more masculine exhaust note.

Thank you
