Want a GREAT sounding inexpensive exhaust?

[Zishan]

Ok, I was finally free this morning and decided to go get it done! I took the car and got the Flowmaster put on. One word... AWESOME. I like it much much better then the Comptech system I had. It sounds very very race like. Not loud at all, but far from stock. I found myself downshifting before every light all the way home. I even got my brother to come over and drive my car up and down the street(so I could hear what everyone else would be hearing).
The muffler was about $80-90 bucks. The custom install was $50 bucks. And the system is worth every penny. I honestly don't think you can be disappointed if you upgrading from the stock can.
I have heard Comptech, RM, and straight pipes. I personally don't like the Comptech, thats what I had on my car. The RM was awesome, but it's been awhile since I heard it, so I can't honestly compare the FM and the RM. And we know the straight pipes are very loud. In all, I am very please!!
Regards

After changing to the Flowmaster, have you seen any increase in horsepower?

Haven't "measured" mine but it sure feels like it. I personally think it's more the new agressive sound. Maybe an in your head thing. I know for a fact that it didn't decrease the HP.

Ok, I have to honestly say yes. It does feel slightly faster then when I had the CompTech on. BUT, this is probably because the CompTech can had a huge hole in it. I think it was loosing back pressure? causing the car to feel slower. Now that the FM is on, it does feel faster IMHO....

Ok, how much for the exhaust, shipping, tips, and install? $250?

I guess that's an OK deal (especially if you do it yourself or get someone to do it for $50 or less) but I just got the full ARK stainless cat-back dual canister system for $599 and installed it in 40 minutes with a nothing but liquid wrench and a 17mm socket wrench. I only had 1 floor jack and no stands - so I jacked up one side and it fit right in easily. $599 for full stainless catback is nice - because I should never have to mess with it again!

I had straight pipes before, so it's hard for me to compare. My friends and coworkers thinks it sounds awesome when I drive in and out of places. It is a little on the quiet side, but after 1200 miles of straight pipes - I'm sure everything is quite comparitively :biggrin:

I put about 500 miles on my ARK, and the sound has actually changed.. I need to get under there and check that everything is tight, but I think it is..

In any case, the simplicity of a purpose built system is so much better, and the stainless aspect of it makes it a done deal. I love my ARK.
