![]() Flowmasters sound great on 5.0s, get the 40 series catback with the polished stainless steel tips. There is nothing better for just catback.

![]() I had the flowmaster cat back system and hated it. Ity sounded like tin cans dragging behind the car, and the fit was not that good. I took it off and bought the dynomax system. Fit perfect and sounded better.
Go Dynomax! |

I recently ditched my 2 chamber Flowmasters for the DynoMax super turbo 2.5" catback ssystem. I have an offroad h-pipe so I opted for the DynoMax Super Turbo mufflers as opposed to the DynoMax Ultra Flos. The Super Turbos are much quieter than my old 2-chamber Flowmasters. I picked more power with the DynoMax system too. I haven't dynoed it but I picked up a little more than a tenth of a second in the quarter mile. If you have your catalytic converters in still I'd get the UltraFlos. If you have an offroad h-pipe I get the Super Turbos so that you can still hear yourself think. |

![]() Another vote for DynoMax and the Super-Turbo's! The fit is incredible, absolutely no problems, should have come this way from the factory. They are definitely quieter than the FlowMasters I just removed, but the car sure feels to pull harder and sounds great with the x-pipe as well. I was getting tired of the raspiness and since I am getting older, wanted to go back to a more mellow sound. For the price, this kit can't be beat, especially with the SS tips. Have heard a lot of guys with fitment issues when it comes to MAC and FlowMaster, but never have heard one complaint about DynoMax!

![]() i've got 2 chamber flows on my 96 gt along w/ bassani cat-x, but you've got a 5.0 so don't take my word for it....But, a buddy of mine had a '90 GT w/ MAC shorties, H-pipe and cat-back, that car sounded great.

![]() I also opted for dynomax. got the Ultra flow SS mufflers. The fit was great. Sound is probably more conservative than Flowmax. My 18 yr old son drives it a lot and i wanted to make sure they were not too loud. I love the deep tone; but can so stealth when necessary!

![]() Just to add to that for reference...
If you look at flow numbers for a straight pipe vs. a straight-through muffler (like a Dynomax Ultra-flow), vs. a Super-Turbo, vs. a chambered muffler (ie., FlowMaster), you'd get #'s something like this (all 2.5"): Straight pipe: 475+CFM Straight-through muffler: 450+CFM Super-Turbo: 425+ CFM Chambered: 325+ CFM Of course these numbers all vary from test to test, but it gives you a ball-park idea! I'm still glad I removed my FlowMasters (2nd set) and went to the Super-Turbo's! |
