Never had any rust, cracks, or rattles on mine. Guess maybe I should buy a lottery ticket.

When my truck ran...it had the Summit turbo mufflers with Dynomax headers. Sounded great...and cheap.
agreed, people who usually slag them have never used them. been running FM's on 5 diff trucks since early '90's. show me a spintech or whatever that will last 14 yrs under a 1 ton.
guess i better buy a lotto ticket too, for some reason my delta flow 50's dont rattle or rust either....bummer

That’s what I was thinking, too. I imagine most of those folks don’t have a flow bench in their back yard.

As a result of their sponsorship of the NMCA/NSCA “Fastest Street Car” series I’ve had 4” Flowmasters on my Chevelle for about 20 years. No issues and they have that distinctive Flowmaster sound.

A lot of guys around here run them on their 6 and 7 second street cars. I imagine they would be too loud for daily use (for me, anyway).

I ran my first set for 13 years through all the PA salt plowing every winter and never had any issues. I actually would have still ran them, but just went new and gave the old ones to my uncle for his square.

I have no issues with the 50's I have now, other then they are a hair quieter then I would prefer. otherwise I would buy another set again and again and again.


Good luck with your purchase though.
