(Video Inside)Stingers vs Flowmasters Side by Side Comparison

Here's a vid TacoBill shot today using his car and mine. FYI- We both have K&N intakes, Pypes O/R H. The only differnce is our choice of axle back. Bill's car Stingers (Red) my car (Black) flowmasters. Which sounds better?? You decide!!

The Flows have a deeper rumble while the Stingers seem less throaty.


The car with the Flows seems to have a lower idle giving it a lower sound. The Stingers have a smoother, fuller tone. It would have been nice to have the cars revved up to compare them better.

I'd say the exact opposite .

Leo, nice comparison vid. Both sound awesome. I loved the sound of my Flows, however, wanted something louder without removing the cats. You obviously do not have that issue with the O/R pipe...lol. I ordered the Stingers last week. We now need a rev comparisons

I have the o/r pipe and the Stingers and it sound very agressive. Like a race car!

I think you got it twisted, the Stingers are deeper and the Flows have a little more of a hollow/resonating sound, which makes sense because the Flows are chambered and the Stingers are a straight through design.

I'd say the Stingers sound a little better, but they both sound good.

If you rev it up youll clearly see which one is better. The flows sound like your pulling tin cans with an o/r pipe, as the stingers have that nice smooth, deep, rumble.

"Listen" to this clip. I agree that the Stingers are louder, but the Flows definitely don't sound like tin cans... http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=56372

The Stingers sound meaner. I would love to hear a startup and rev of both.

Yes, it would have been better to have them revved up to make a better comparison. It's harder to compare when they're just idling. My bad .

+1


Chambered mufflers usually sound better at Idle and flow-thru mufflers really shine once you lay into them. So its not really a complete comparison letting them both just idle.
