Flowtech Terminator Mufflers

I checked out a soundclip on them and they sound pretty good. They didn't have the flowmaster sound at all, but did have quit a mean racy sound. It didn't state what they were in or what engine the vehicle was running. I was wandering if any of you guys have seen or own some of these mufflers.

I have them on the truck listed in my sig. They sound good at high RPM, but are too "sloppy" sounding at idle/low-rpm. I've heard them on a few different vehicles now and they all sounded the same to me (or close to it).

Very untuned. Like a horse farting repeatedly through a megaphone. No seriously, you know the way even a 40 series flowmaster sounds kind of "crisp" even at idle? Well these things don't. They sound flat. My stock BBC only has about 8:1 compression, so I'm sure they'd sound better with a high comp. motor, they just sound sh|tty on a stock one.
