FLOWMASTER
Just curious if anyone out there has this FLOWMASTER exhaust system:
http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/fm...erfMuff10.html
Part Numbers: 525801-L & 525801-R
This link says that it was designed for the C5. What are your thoughts? Is this a good system? Why/why not? Thanks, Jim

Re: FLOWMASTER (jim_gard)
I'm running them and love it.. I didn't care for the exhaust tips though and had them removed and put on custom tips.

Re: FLOWMASTER (jim_gard)
I have them on my '98 and really love the sound of them. Nice sweet rumble at idle, and VERY aggressive at WOT. :cool:
Have been complimented many times on the sound of my ride by other C5'ers in town. :cheers:
Technically speaking I don't know if they do jack for the HP, but 345hp stock is plenty for me anyway!

Re: FLOWMASTER (mhefner)
I put mine on about a month ago,and I love them they sound great.
I bought them from a forum member who also had cut outs welded to them which sound really good! :cool:
I agree the tips are ugly. I am going to try to use the quad oval tips from my B+B's :cool:

Re: FLOWMASTER (ace)
Thanks to you all for your replies. Great video Hef! On tips issue, I don't mind the look but I have seen others that I like much better. Hef, do you have a pic of the tips that you installed in the Flowmasters? Thanks again! Jim :flag

Re: FLOWMASTER (ROCKnROLL)
Saw them at http://www.carparts.com for $251.47 each. If you go there, simply do a search on either part number and you should find them.

Re: FLOWMASTER (jim_gard)
Here are some tips I used to have ... but I changed them out after they started to rust :( Don't have a picture of my current tips though.

Re: FLOWMASTER (jim_gard)
I have heard there is intense resonance and you would really have to get some new tips. Those are horrible :eek: !! IMHO, just spend the extra dough on the PRTs, Corsas, or Magnaflows. Good luck :).

Re: FLOWMASTER (johnso26)
No resonance on mine at all.
They are loud,but there is no resonance whatsoever.
My B+B Sports are a different story altogether.They have extreme resonance! :cool: :cheers:

Re: FLOWMASTER (mhefner)
When you replaced the tips did you have to weld them into place? I currently have a set screwed into my 98 vette and was wondering if it is possible to get the Flowmaster and ljust screw them on the exhaust. Thanks

Re: FLOWMASTER (STEEDAQ)
Flowmasters are JUNK,JUNK,JUNK very restrictive. Yes they do sound good but how about down 15hpand 20ft torque from a Dyno Max???

Re: FLOWMASTER (STEEDAQ)
This is really funny, because I also dynoed 4 or 5 different exhaust systems on my car when it was bone stock... The results all where about the same +/- 1hp except the dyno max was no better than stock!!!!
I choose my exhaust based on sound, which lead me to my flowmasters... :crazy:
