Installed flowmaster exhaust today
I finally received my flowmaster exhaust system today and had a local shop install.
It has a nice low sound. Barely louder than stock at cruise, but definitely sounds better accelerating. (and it doesn't sound like a mustang either!!!)

What about interior resonance?? I had FM's on my '88 C4 and the resonance was terrible from 1000 to 2000 rpm.
I like their price though for a C5 setup. You're the first I've heard of that has them.
Thanks for sharing.

mustangs sound awesome! I only wish my vettes sounded like my sons cobra. Why didn't you install the flowmaster exhaust your self? Learn something about your car. I'm very old, but I did my own even with my gnarled hands. I love these corvettes!

No resonance. I can say I'm very happy.
My gas mileage is down about 3 mpg. I attribute this to the fact I'm enjoying all that new sound
This is my first mod ever, and I've owned two vettes for 7 years. Why I waited sooo long...
I need an x pipe now. The popping sound is louder now, and it's got to go.

I have flowmasters on my 2000. They were on when I purchased the car. I swapped out to a set of Ti's for about 6 months and was happy with them, just too quiet for me. The flowmasters sound great but I am not a big fan of the tips, too small and a b*tch to clean.
