I havent really read many of the replies to this post, but ill throw what i have experianced in there. The flowmaster 80 setup is what i have, and i have gotten nothing but compliments and looks of fear from my car buddies. It was a fairly easy fit, and the sound is mean from idle to 4500rpm on MY setup, which is completely stock besides the muffler and tips which are quads. The one thing i dont like though is that the wicked sound dies off after 4500rpm and it goes back to sounding stock, so if you are like, gunning it, the sound wont stick around for long as it climbs the tach. I have heard horror stories about how loud flowmasters can be inside the car and such, and was wary, but once i took the plunge, i realized that it is almost as quiet as stock under normal acceleration, just deeper. Well since I didnt read the other replies, I cant really support or protest their claims but i might add more later....anyways, thats my 2 cents...hope it was helpful

MAY THE SVX LIVE LONG!

I have a clip. It's not all that good though. I used my laptop to get the sound from inside the car with the window open. Lots of background noise and you can't really hear it at low RPM. I think it sounds really good when the RPMs rise, though.

My flowmaster 80 sound is a little different with the open pipes - it actually grows more evil as the rpm's climb.

I'd really like to hear your Magnaflow setup. I'd guess it'd be different from mine since I have the KC setup with 2 mufflers. Hopefully I can get outside clips of my car while I'm home. I just need to get a friend to hold either the laptop or the digi-cam. Hopefully I will be transferred back to Phoenix so i can stop by your shop this spring. I'd like to see some things first hand like your exhaust kits and your leather kits and a 5 speed if you have any more around

Magnaflow sounclip

Heh Dayle: How about a sound bite with the windows up? It sounds good on your clips, but wonder if it's too much noise for my everyday high-speed commuting? Most of my driving is 70 to 75 MPH on country roads. [I know I'm getting old!]


If you think the 75 MPH decibels would be good for me, what exactly should I order besides the $395 kit you show (90 degree and 180 degree elbows, for example?). Are the tips you show the best for that setup or are the tips a matter of choice? Someone said we could "assemble" before the muffler tech simply welded it in place. How could we do that?

PLEASE educate me. THANKS!

No, your not old, its actually very quite at
one steady speeds in 3rd or OD on the freeway...
very SVX style-ish from its Svx roots.
If you go up or down a bit from one steady RPM
you get a small growl and reminder you have a
system, but nothing off the wall....
I can try for another one this week...
thanks

We offer the mandrel U bends if you want $15 ea...
you may want 1 2.5" for the main pipe
and 1 2.25. for the tailpipes....
I just suggest having a small local shop install the
set up from start to finish, many people print out the pic
of our car and take it to some shops to get some quotes.

flowmaster 60

Only recommend running duals with a H or X-pipe. Added a H-pipe later.
