Question regarding exhaust... #1099780 11/08/04 09:55 AM

Anyone have experince with flowmaster in CSVT's? Should I just wait till I have enough cash to get everything from the headers on back done? It's a 2000 CSVT if anyone is wondering.

But either way it will flow better than an oem muffler. Alex '99 SVT Contour -=\|WANTED: Vortech, working or not \|=-

What kinda exhaust system are you going with? Tropic, I see that you took your res off, how much louder is your car now? Last edited by Mohaj; 11/08/04 12:28 PM.

If he's not atleast using SS then I'd consider going somewhere else or buying a catback and installing it yourself.. Flowmaster will also sound like poop on your car..

But either way it will flow better than an oem muffler. Ive heard that Borlas are the best, but also the priciest. They are also not as loud as some of the others(which is what I like about them)when use with resonators. Try going to www.trubendz.com to get a good deal. Then pay a shop to install for you( $150-$200). "Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

I didn't ask the guy if he was using stainless or not, but I wouldn't do it any other way. Does anyone have experince with the bosal exhaust?
