Oh darn, now you've got me thinking. Would it be wrong to buy myself a Christmas present from my son? I'll have to talk to Joanie about this.

I was thinking the same thing. I've been considering Flows myself (I like the look and the sound), but I've noticed many selling theirs also. I know the early '05+ units had problems with internal rattles but I thought an update had corrected the problem.

Maybe the Flows are too quiet for some TMSers . I work odd hours and have sleeping neighbors to think about so wouldn't even consider something like SLP Loud Mouths.

IMO the reputation that Flowmaster earned while the Fox bodied cars is what is carrying them onto the new cars; problem is, they don't sound like the older cars because the cars are just that different.

I would consider putting Flows on my '92, but not on the '06. Just my opinion.

I should revise my comment to only apply to the GTs (V8) that I've heard.

I have Fows on my 07 and they sound GREAT with minimal to zero drone. No complaints... Not the loudest, but definitely the best sounding exhuast IMO. I highly recommend them

I'm on my 3rd set of Flowmasters because they keep rattling. My warranty is expired and the third set I have is starting to rattle again. These mufflers are junk.

I sold mine because I got a great deal on some Corsas.

I loved mine but didn't like the drone. Even though it was very minimal compared to others. But the Corsas have NO drone and that's what I really love about them.

I had dual American Thunders on my 2005 v6 and now have them on my 2007 GT I love them. When I traded in my v6 the guys at the dealership really made a big deal of how good the car sounded.

As previously stated. I love my Flows- Appearance, quality and sound , but now I think that I may want a louder exhaust, maybe FRPP/Stingers.... Ehhhh, I knew that this would happen.

I ran Flowmaster American Thunder on my 05 v6. It sounded great. IMO they are the best mufflers to use when doing a v6 dual exhaust conversion!! Recently i traded in the 05 V6 for a 05 GT, but gave the v6 in with the flows on it, so i now am on the hunt for a set for my GT.

Gotta Love Them FLOWS!!
