I got my flowmaster 80 series in the mail today.. going to get it installed tomorrow. Just the muffler, not the catback.

I bought it off ebay, used only 100 miles on it, for $50. (its clean, we took a look inside )

Yes, i'm a cheapass, but it's temporary until i save enough money for something better.. aka, when i put headers on my car and get a borla setup.


Anyways, how do you guys think this will sound on stock manifolds and stock cat. I'm leaning toward removing my cat.. but i'm not sure yet. I live outside the city, so i don't have emissions testing.

Any comments / suggestions for removing a cat.. how would it sound with this muffler with a cat, as opposed to without one.

 

I wouldn't mess with removing the cat till you get your full exhaust setup. And even then lots of people will say for you to get a High Flow Cat.

If it clogs down the road you can remove it then.

 

flowmasters sound ok with everything else stock

 

100 miles on it from ebay.. 50$, we inspected it, looks brand new.

good deal, will be a good temp sound until i save for a new one

 

I would leave the cat alone, almost no power gain to be had and you will most likely add more raspiness to your exhaust sound.

 

the flowmaster sounds great compared to stock.. just got it put on this morning!
