Flowsound mufflers???? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jbristo67 · 03-04-2009, 06:58 PM

Has any one ever run these. If not here is the scoop I got today at the muffler shop. Flowmaster let their patent run out on there 40 series and this company picked it up. The guy at the shop put the two mufflers next to each other and I couldn't tell the difference. Then he showed me a cut away of both. No difference. Both aluminized both weighed the same. And I haven't gotten a sound sample yet but they are supposed to sound the same. He sells flow master for about 90 a muffler and the flow sound was 45. I found a place in MO today that will send them to you 39.95 shipped. I am going to give them a shot on my 67 next month when I get it on the road. If anyone has these mufflers hit me up and tell me what you think. If not I will give you guys a report then.

SOUNDS good to me...LOL!

jbristo67 · 03-04-2009, 07:07 PM

Your a funny guy. THey are built just as well as the real flows. I hope they sound as good

bigguy69 · 03-04-2009, 07:36 PM

i have heard the same thing i would like to hear them also

jbristo67 · 03-04-2009, 07:38 PM

I ordered on for a friend of mine to put on his tahoe. Will give you a report as soon as it is on. I figured 79 for 2 40 series mufflers if they sounded half as good you would have to be happy with it. The quality was there

I have one of those on my dodge ram and expect to get about 8yrs dd out of them. They sound close to the same but not as drony on the highway and not as loud at wot. I like mine.

I've run them also, and don't sound exactly like Flowmasters, but they do sound real good. They don't sound as "tinny" as the Flowmasters do. They are a little deeper, which I like.

jbristo67 · 03-04-2009, 08:48 PM

I am excitd. I cant wait plus they were a hell of a deal

spinning wheels · 03-04-2009, 09:15 PM

Please tell me that they are made in the USA and not some cheap Chinese knockoffs.

jbristo67 · 03-04-2009, 10:24 PM

Why you got to be negitave

Sammy · 03-04-2009, 11:47 PM

I bought a set last year. I paid $40 a piece. Like wise was showed the cut version and the flowmaster. ($90) Only difference was the Logo imprinted on the flowmasters. I'm satisfied.

i have them on mine and they sound exactly the same as a real flowmaster

LuckyHenriksen · 03-05-2009, 12:39 AM

Sounds like Flowmaster is SOL on that deal

jbristo67 · 03-05-2009, 02:06 AM

I am pretty excited I hope this doesnt end up being one of those things that is to good to be true

Leo70 · 03-05-2009, 02:26 AM

Was that price for 2 or each ?

I found this website that has them for 25.99 each. http://performanceexhaustplus.com/0/...rand=Flowsound

I think Im going with these as well.

Thanks for the tip

Leo..

jbristo67 · 03-05-2009, 02:56 AM
