I've got Flowmasters on my C5 and on my 57.
They sound great to me. Much better than my POS B+B tri flo sport resonance specials.
The Flowmasters are louder but have no resonance issues like my B+B's :cool: :cheers:

Which Flowmaster Muffler are you guys using??? The model number or specific name???

I might switch out my stock mufflers for some FLOWS... if I don't like them... then I'll pop my Stockers back on!

Worth a try! :yesnod:

I have Flowies on my '93 Mustang GT. They sound awesome, but when on the road :crazy: I have to blast the stereo to drown the resonance!! I wouldn't trust them on the C5 just because of the incredible moan at 1700rpm - 2000rpm. Quality was good though....Let us know how you like them if you decide to go with them.

Flowmasters might upset your neighbors. The kid next door to us has Flowmasters on his Blazer and even when it is at an idle our windows rattle.

To me the Corsa Indy system sounds great---if you want that much sound volume.

I love my Flowmasters! They sound awesome especially at WOT.
The tips aren't all that to look at, but do what I am going to do and cut them off and have some cool tips welded on in their place.
A friend of mine did that and they look and sound awesome.
I suggest this idea to all my buddies with vette's. I guess I am going to have to open them up next to their drivers door while racing :D to prove my point......
