Opinion..new Flowmasters...yeah or nay?

I got a set of Flowmasters on The Red Sled. I am not sold on the look yet.

What do you think?

I say no. And reason is, because when they get dirty they seem to disapear and looks like your original tips fell off.

Can't say I've ever seen any that looked like that. Not for me, but if you like them that's all that matters.

I love the sound but I would have to cut off the tips.

I can't say I really like them, I'd go back to stock before using those. Just my .02.

If your looking for honest opinions I am not sold on them either, they look sort of lost in the opening and small.

I think they would look better if it was one solid oval not two halves. I have never heard the flowmasters on the vette. I dont think I would get them based on how they look though.

IMHO: I rather prefer the traditional rounded exhaust tip style. And, BTW: The above pictured C5 is effing beautiful!

Ya ever seen pictures of rednecks and hillbillies with a huge gap between their front teeth (providing they have front teeth)? This reminds me of that for some reason.
