Fake Flowmasters!!!

[Chet Mo and the Camaro]

guys i had a vforce muffler, i upgraded to v8 piping bullet muffler and flowmaster sounded the same except a little quiter and a LITTLE LESS RASP but i think that was due to the bullit muffler, so imo and from experience flowmaster=vforce, had both and i have the flowmaster now and not much difference, and btw the flowmaster emblem is on top of my muffler and the vforce is on the bottom, it said vforce pro or something i cant remember!!!

Hi - I'm coming up with #17358 (2.5") everywhere I shop. I wonder WIUWT ~ rhodey

17357 is for 93-97
17358 is for 98-02

I have a 97, so 17357 is MY part number.

This has been going on awhile, even with the magnaflows, but really a flowmaster isn't that great anyway so why would anyone care ;)

Umm - corrosion? Sound and pressure/performance aren't the only factors. If the metal isn't at least aluminized it won't last two/three seasons in New England. If they were fakes, at that price it would at least be nice to have a chance to paint the things before they went up. ~ rhodey
