I got 2-40 series' on mine. Have had several compliments, they're ok. I think I'll be happier with some LT headers though.

Flowmaster is a good choice but have you considered other exhaust systems? Gibson, Borla, and Magnaflow are all great. If you don't mind spending some extra money on an exhaust system, Corsa would be your best option IMO. I have the Corsa sport catback system and it's awesome. Quiet on the highway and at idle but loud at WOT.

you don't want it. Unless you love drone and a very generic sound.

majority of people dislike them, although they can sound great. however, there are better flowing mufflers out there

What ever you do get Stainless Steel. I had a 40 series that rusted out in 6 months and the baffles tried coming out the tail in less time than that. Flushmaster in my experiance...

Do you realize your dual out muffler is really a single out with one side going back into a dead end chamber????? When you pull out the factory muffler cut the backside open and you will see what I am talking about. It is a sound deadener(sp)!!!!!!

Hooker Aerochambers would be a good choice and costs less than the Flows I'm pretty sure. Heard a few clips of them and I love the sound, and they flow good too.

some like the sound of flowmasters but i don't. they sound like a tin can to me. anyways, they're not a good free flowing muffler either. my first choice would be hooker aerochamber, then bullets or magnaflow. just my $.02

Default I wouldnt do it

Stay away from the slowmasters!! Make your ears bleed in the cab on the interstate. I sold mine and got a hooker aerochamber. Best exhaust choice to me. Sound gread and flow even better.
