X Pipe With What Chamber Flowmasters?

[03ModMotor]

I got a buddy with a 99 GT and he has an X pipe with (I believe) 3 chamber Flowmasters. I have 2 chambers on my fox, but this question is in regards to my 2003 GT. I love the 2 chambers with the offroad h on my fox, but am afraid the x pipe and 2 chambers will be far too noisy on the mod motor. Anyone got any personal experience with the Flowmaster and x pipe setup, 2 and 3 chambers?

Thank you all,

Chris

I have offroad x pipe with 2 chamber American thunder flowmasters, it sounds great. I dont know what series they are, i bought them used and the guy didnt know but they sound very mean and dont drone as bad as people claim they do.

I had a catted X pipe with a Flowmaster origanal 40 series two chamber american thunder catback.It droned at and around 2K rpm.Some people
liked it and said it sounded different.I think if you get a X pipe get a
straight through designed muffler and if you get a H pipe get a chambered
muffler for sure.

I will also have to consider who sells the offroad x for an auto...

 

[gip99drop]

It doesn't sound good....

You should go buy a Camaro or something then... The combo question wasn't asked to see if it sounded good, it was asked to see how loud it'd be.

I would expect that they would be comparable to your fox.

I've run just the flows, flows with catted x, flows with o/r h, slp 1's with o/r h and slp 2's with o/r h.

Flows with the o/r h has been my favorite in sound and loudness. Its right in the middle as far as loud goes.

* > drone masters

i hate the generic "performance" mufflers. a magnaflow sounds SO much better

Thanks for the good responses guys...

Saleen, you think Flowmasters are generic performance mufflers? I have never used anything other than them, nor have I heard and known that I heard Magnaflows, so I can't base a comparison.

it just depends on what type of sound you like, I like that muscle car rumble, so i would have went with a muffler like mac or flowmasters with an o/r h, but since i bought the car and it had a offroad x i decided to buy some 2 chamber flows just to see how good they sounded (found a pair for dirt cheap), and too me they sound great, theyre very loud, and have a nice deep tone to them.
personally i have never been a fan of magnaflow or borla or any of them, im not saying they sound bad nor am i saying they're not loud, because borla stingers are super loud. I am just saying im not a fan of them.

BTW, when muscle cars were muscle cars, Flowmasters didn't exist. These days the sound guys call the "muscle car sound" is the sound of 80's Pro-Street cars (or a pick-up truck)

if you want the real muscle car sound, Thrush Turbo mufflers (do they still make them?) or glasspacks are the way to go

Mines loud and I love the sound.

And glasspacks sounds like shiiiit no thanks... I had someone at work tell me " put them glass mufflers on it" I was like ugh, no no no!

 

[mransr]

didn't say they sounded good...I said that's what was on muscle cars "back in the day"


I was always a fan of "turbo mufflers" myself

Flow's or Mac's with the X-pipe will sound great.

just installed a pypes o/r X pipe on my 2000 gt . kept the factory CB that the previous owner had welded in two chamber flowmasters. swore i wouldnt run flowmasters but wow, it does sound awesome. very raspy. ill upgrade the CB later one but will keep what i have for a while.



... and it is LOUD.
