Flowmasters for C5?
Hello,
I've got a 2003 C5 Convertible and would love to put some Flows on,(nothing but Flows will do!), but the "Corvette Mufflers" that Flowmaster makes say they are for C5's up to 2001. Has anybody installed Flows on their newer C5 Corvette? And if you have, where did you get them and are there any major differences between the 2001-2003 installations?
Any opinions appreciated...
-Sean

I think they may just need to update their web site.
I know a guy who used to have a C5 (He now has a Viper) that had their redesigned cat backs on his 2001 coupe.

Yes I know not too many people are fans of flows... but I've been a big fan for the past 10 years. I really like that "hollow" sounding exhaust, as opposed to the stock "gurgling" sound. :boxing

They should work just fine, there has been no changes to the C5 that would effect this!!

Re: Flowmasters for C5? (Kid)
I also love my flowmasters.most vette guys say that they wish their cars sounded as good as a newer mustang....well,mine sounds better.maybe it is because flowmasters are what most of those mustangs are running.I've heard the corsas and borlas and whateverelselas,but the hollow sound of the flows combined with a lopey cam is much more intimidating than the snooty high $$$ systems will ever be.with no cats and an x-pipe,they have a very exotic sound above 3500.they will fit the latest c5's,but as mentioned earlier....the tips are fugly.
