There was a link to this site in a Borla thread:
http://www.ls1sounds.com/
I am starting to shop for exhaust for my '04 and I thought the Flowmaster sounded pretty freaking good, and I've never really been a fan.
I also really liked the sound of the SLP Loudmouth.

I listened to them on that same link they sound excellent to me, mostly camaros and trans ams use them and seem to sound pretty sweet, maybe it is because they have smaller pipes people don't like em ?? I really liked the sound of the GHL BULLETS as well, anybody know best priced site to get them?

I have them and they sound pretty good. Actually they could be a little louder for my taste, but the sound at WOT is fine. Most guys here don't like them, but I think that is due more to their reputation as a cheap Mustang exhaust than anything else. At $750 installed they were an inexpensive alternative to the pricier systems for me. As far as performance gains, I don't think any of the aftermarket systems make much difference, especially on a stock car.

I have been a big fan of flowmaster's for a while
Dodge Magnum
Chevy Impala
71 Big Block Corvette
Dodge durango
Dodge Dakota
all my cars have gotten flowmaster. Ive enjoyed the sound everytime.
I will be installing flowmaster's on my vette this weekend. It will end up costing me about 260.00 for everything. Install, tips, mufflers, everything.
FYI flowmaster wants $400.00 EACH for this
while you can buy this for $100 per (Flowmaster part #52580)
for me its not worth $300.00 rip off for black paint, dual outs, and small tips.
This is a corvette Tax at its finest.

johnsc5 thank you for your opinion on the flowmasters, what series or system do you have? mufflers, cat-back,x-pipe, H-pipe, what exactly does it consist of? you wouldn't happen to have a sound clip? thanks

that $260 will be my out of pocket cost for the total system. period.
Order the mufflers from Summit, go to your favorite muffler shop (the mom and pop places are the best
)
pick out the tips you want and say the magic word
"I have cash and I dont need a recipt"
Here is the break down
200 for mufflers
30 for chrome tips
30 for welding, install and materials. They will only need about 12" of pipe. Heck they could use scrap from a prior job. this is a bang in bang out gig.
My thinking is this. Chevy designed a straight and smooth system so paying money for a cat back is a waist of pipe and materials.
I think getting high flow cats is a scam, but thats a different thread.
Just add in the muffler you wnat and drive.
