Default Flowmasters Twin Tip Mufflers?

Has anyone put these on their Corvette? How do they sound???...At $276.00 each, they're alot cheaper than a cat back system...mine is just too damn quiet.........

You may be better off w/ a used cat-back. Same price better sound.

Default Cheap its the operative word!

I love Flowmasters but not on a C5. I looked at these myself and decided against them. Do some searches on GHL exhaust. I found the GHL fit my need of sound, (louder and little resonance), price$, and looks,(all stainless and nice big tips).You'll find everyone here has their opinions and favorites and very few vote for the Flowmasters.

Judge for yourself..here's video..

..it's a slightly less agressive sound than others..if you don't
like the look of the split oval tips..you can always have
round tips welded on..

Whats the part number for your flowmasters? I have some on my 94, too much interior resonance. I want some on my 98 but i wouldnt be happy if the interior ressonance is the same.
