Default Flowmaster cat back system for LT1/LT4

I have a 95 LT1 and I've been looking for an exhaust system. Are any of you running with or familiar with the Flowmaster cat back system (#17217). Its price is pretty appealing compared to some of the others like Borla and Corsa. A couple of places have it for under $550, delivered.

Thanks, John
95 LT1 6M

Yes, I am running the flowmater cat-back exhaust on my car, and I love the sound. For the price, you can't beat this system.

Any resonance at cruise? Can you hear the radio at 70 mph? :auto:

Yes, there use to be a bit of resonance at cruise. But, it didn't interfere with hearing the radio. However, now the 4.10 gears have brought the cruise rpm range above the resonance level.

Ah, I guess it really doesn't matter to me after 33 years of flying jets, I can't hear much of anything. But , if my wife goes on a trip with me, I'm sure it would drive her nuttier than she already is. :lol:

I've got the TPIS cat back on my 95, with TPIS LT Headers and Random Cats. Sound is great. No complaints.

Have flowmaster cat-back exhaust. 40 series, 2 chamber mufflers. Sounds great, nice and beefy.
