I guess that means you don't like Buschur Racing exhaust because it's made in america using an American Muffler Company's product? (magnaflow)

LoL, I used to have one on my old civic and it actually sounded tight. Definitely wasn't the bumble bee sound you get from so many others. Too restrictive for the Evo IMO though. The Taipan sounds great though!

Flowmaster uses chambered mufflers, doesn't it?

Quite off course laddy. Neither Flowmaster nor Cherry Bomb compare with the Buschur regarding this application. You should focus on the words that come out of your mouth before you focus on others. Carry on.

Yes, they are not straight through. I think they show a cut out of them on the sides of the box they come in. That's what I remember from back in the day.

I loved my flowmasters on my mustangs. I have had a subscription to 5.0 and superfords for 7 years. I have seen them dyno tons of mufflers on different setups. The flowmasters weren't the top, but but were only a 2-3 horsepower difference. You should read their website on why their mufflers flow more than a oem muffler. Exhaust mainly comes down to sound, and nothing beats a flowmaster, at least on the mustang. I hate the canister, fart can look on a evo, I probably will go with borla. The clips of all the evo exhausts I hear don't sound that great, and the ones I hear at the track aren't impressive either. Especially with the growl the IX has, it needs a mean sounding muffler to compliment it.

If you think exhaust comes down to only sound, then I suppose you don't think that 30awhp is, well, anything, huh? rotfl

price was never the point, if you read my posts its about the design of slowmasters, they are baffled and chambered exhausts, and they are known for their sound, for least backpressure you need a straight thru design.

i used the word "restrictive" in my posts, not "cheap."

a megan muffler is going to flow 10x better than a baffled/chambered Flowmaster muffler.

i have a flowmaster on my durango, it sounds great, but thats why i bought it sound, not for flow.

running megan tbe is proven on this site, so i dont know what ur implying by the megan tbe being "cheap" post.

I think all of you who's laughing at the exhaust have obviously never tried it yourself.

Epecially FLUID 1, who's obviously making annoying and unwanted comments.

now, "Carry on" with more of your annoying comments.

Obviously from their design, the flowmaster isn't made for FI cars. You don't have to make a big deal about that fact.

But as far as making good flowing backpressure system for n/a cars, I don't see anything wrong with the flowmaster mufflers. Everything else is really just pipings after the muffler.

Between the major brands, their is not a huge difference in power. Look at the . I have seen plent of dyno's on supercharged mustangs that had flowmasters putting down huge numbers. Flowmaster has been around a long time, and they say that the baffles are at exact tolerances to create a scavanging effect. Look at the tuner mag comparison, their was not a huge difference in the different brands

On my 03' Cobra...it came with flowmaster mufllers (bought it used with 6k miles). They were the nastiest riciest sounding exhaust ever. Not saying they don't sound better on other cars, I guess that all depends on what sound your looking for. If you want that domestic ricey sound that will scare the bejeezus out of your whole neighborhood when starting it up, then yes, it's the right exhuast.

Totally agree how someone stated that the late model domestics stay away from flowmaster. For the SVT Cobras, people would laugh if you had flowmasters. People moved towards more quality and functionality like Magnaflow, bassani, borla.....
