Default Exhausting !!

I took my newly purchased '00 FRC to Extreme Motorsports last week for the standard 1" lowering and had them tell me what my aftermarket exhaust was. The mufflers were welded above the rear and turn out to be Flowmasters. I do like the sound, they have a nice rumble at idle and get pretty loud at WOT. I believe much louder inside than outside though and they do some serious farting on downshifting and decel. The downside is the tips, they are a split oval design and just a little too understated for my tastes. I do want some big chrome tips. I would get in on the Stinger buy now but need a few other items first. Just wondering if anyone else has the Flowmaster exhaust, it seems that I saw a thread recently.

I can't answer your question but thought I'd see if I could convince you that you need Stingers.
They're anything but understated!

Don't have the Flowmasters, but the Stingers are a good buy. Sounds great.
