40,50,or 80 series flowmaster

[Chet Mo and the Camaro]

which one is better and what are the differences. btw i dont really know what i want besides the fact i want dual exhaust

80 series is the crossflow muffler and is about the most direct bolt in style muffler from Flowmaster.

When you buy the 80 series it comes with muffler only right? Doesnt come with exhaust pipes does it? So it has to go to a muffler shop to be put on?

[Devilboy28]

I don't know of ANY muffler that comes with exhaust pipes. Chet.....The lower the number, the louder it is. The 80 series is a direct replacement for our F-Bodies but I have the 40 series. In my opinion, the 80 series sounds too ricey.

Borla sells a rear section only (including tailpipes), but Flowmaster does not.

I have the 40 and love it.

Just find a good muffler shop... tell them what you want and they will take care of all the rest.

Just say you want a dual outlet flowmaster __-series for a v6 camaro and the style tailpipes you want (I love my 3" chrome angle cuts.)

80 is the way to go

I had my 80 series put on about 4 months ago.

Got the muffler w/tips from someone on Ebay for $50. He was somewhat local and agreed to meet me halfway, so I saved a ton on shipping.

Since this is my first exhaust and I have heard no other V6's, I have nothing to honestly compare it to. But I like it.

My only complaint is the noise inside the car. It is pretty load. You would think you had nothing seperating you and the muffler. But I still like it. Better than stock [img]smile.gif[/img]

well i got my exhaust done today yall might be dissapointed but the shop carried a brand and i am not even sure of the name but he said it wwas just like flowmaster i was tight on money and my tailpipe had fallen off so i said heck with it if i dont like it i will go back to stock. i went and picked up the car and i took off i was kinda dissapointed because it sounded ricey inside the car but later that day i got someone to get in the car and revvv it up everyone that was out there listening including me liked it. i have no complaints sounds just like a flowmaste from the clips i have heard. one thing is it is kinda loud inside but i play my music loud cause i am a kid soo thats noo problem

none of our cars sounds like an 8 either and i know i didnt pay a crap load of money like u did and they all sound pretty close to me some a little better than others yes i am sure flowmaster is pretty good but nothing of a HUge difference. thats my opnion and i bet i could pull up beside a flowmaster and u couldnt tell the diff cause a buddy of mine has flowmaster on a 98 just like mine.

I know that his thread is 9 days old, but I found it kind of pointless to start a new one since my question is related to this topic. Anyways, I'm going to buy a muffler soon and I want it to have dual exit. I don't have the money to go and buy a cat back so I can just get hte muffler. I know that the 80 series is crossflow and has dual exit on both sides, but I was wondering about the 40 series. People that have the 40 series do you just have single exit? or dual? I looked at magnaflows muffler for the camaro and it has a pipe that bends and goes around the muffler to come out the other side, is that what they do for the 40 series? I used to own an '89 RS w/ a 350 so I'm really just looking for a more aggressive sound, I know that my car now will never sound like my old one, but anything is better than the stock muffler.
