Man I want the flows too. I have an auto and wonder if it that matters in sound.

I love how the muffler is painted black and conceals themselves in the underbody. I was never a fan on the stock mufflers sticking out partially. Pics welcome!

Yeah I love the black mufflers. I'll snap some pics later and post them up. I'm a huge fan of the Flow tips too, as they are angled like the stock ones but much bigger.

And I don't think Auto would make a difference.

Flowmasters

I have them on my car and they sound great. Not too loud or raspy but you can hear that something is different. At idle it sound better than a 5.0 with the stock pipes. Next year I'm getting the BBK long tube and catted x-pipe. Should make it sound mean.

Dd you guys have any trouble centering the pipes in the cut outs? I'm OCD about that. I heard that they must be modified to sit correctly??

Which ones do you have?
Well which axleback do you guys reccomend because i do want loud but not ear bleeding loud. According to the warranty i can only get the axleback without voiding it so headers are out of the question.
The main thing i want is a good strong idle and POPS, im ok with some drone. But i dont want anything quiet and boring near stock

I was looking at the Borlas but settled on the Flows and save $300. Honestly anything will be better than stock. The only one I didn't like was the magnaflows because they sounded too importish (think 370z)

That car is like an optical illusion. It sounds like its going really fast, but it's barely moving. I would be over that sound after a day. It sounds like propeller airplane. I was waiting for it to go airborne in the the video.

All show no go haha, I told him that. Like I said 130948230942387 times, this set up is obsolete in his car now.

Going with the roush axleback, listened to them in and out and they're for me, all videos on the flowmaster are very quiet and have little to no popping when RPMs decrease

From what you've said, I really think the borla s is a good fit for you. I had it on my 2012 v6 and it was pretty loud, with subdued popping on de accell. It had zero drone and it had very warm characteristics.

The roush is loud, but that's about it. In person, on a v6, they sound slightly like those big cannon mufflers on honda's. Only at WOT though. Kinda sounds like a trombone playing a triple forte whole tone into an empty oil barrel.

I agree with you on the flows. I have the borla s on my v8 now.

Well if I had $700 to drop on an exhaust I would! But I'll stick with the Roush, did my research and heard em in person and it's not bad ! I'm not expecting a v8 sound but there is still that nice deep idle and popping gargle sound, it fits my needs but thanks for the suggestion !

I messaged two american muscle people here and no response on coupons lol I will wait until wednesday and that's when ill place the order, they will lose one customer for sure.
