thats just a dressed up borla system
Borla is expensive and when they put the steeda name on it, that just make the price higher.
but it is a good system

how does the flowmasters 40 sound and what do you think a but it

Cheddarbob 06-19-2007 05:04 PM

I have them. They are ok but they are not loud enough for me. I like the deep sound but Im just not satisfied.

I think flowmaster just came out w/ a louder muffler than the 40's
its the flowmaster 44's I heard them and man they are way better than the 40's
so if your going flowmaster get the 44's

do the 44s come in a kit or do you buy them by there self. because im looking for a kit that wont cost over 600

i only saw them in individual mufflers. So buy the mufflers and take it to a shop for fabrication.

seriously you should save your money and just go to a muffler shop and have them put on a flowmaster or a magnaflow. Most shops will stock those two brands, and it should only cost you around 150 bucks. now go spend the other 450 on something more useful than exhaust.

+1

I took mine to a local shop. They fully fabbed everything, true dual setup, flowmasters, stainless 2 1/2" tips, $300 installed.

Here's my $ 0.02
 
I have a V6 that I turned into a "true dual" running machine! Long, long story short, I started with "custom" work that was horrendous, and ended up meeting some great folks and now have a super fabricator/mechanic that can weld like a computer does!

I now have stock headers into an Pypes hi-flow catted X-pipe into dual Flowmaster 50 series mufflers welded into a MAC catback kit. And...a LOT of custom fabricating to make it all work well together!

Pros:
Pypes is awesome to work with and fully warrants their products!
I like the hp increase my car has experienced with the X-pipe!
The Flowmasters! The company and the mufflers are fabulous!

Cons:
I cut out the MAC mufflers and welded in Flowmaster 50 series because I disliked the MACs. They were terribly, obnoxiously loud and the tone was awful!
MAC did not warrant their catted H-pipe, so I sent it back and requested a refund!
Droning occurs around 45mph...a result of the pipe size and the 3.8L V6 engine. I run 2.5" piping from the headers out to 3" stainless tips. I wish I had stuck with 2.25" out to 2.5" or 3"!

Borla is tremendously expensive, and I agree that the guy with the "borla" link on youtube did not have Borla. Borla's got a different setup on their tailpipes than what's in the video. Steeda is hot, too! I love Steeda, but not on my V6. I love Flowmasters! Had 40's, but they were too boisterous, so I got 50's the next time around. Had a heart-to-heart with a rep from Flowmaster when I encountered some lies told to me by a local fabrication/exhaust shop (they put VX mufflers on as Flowmasters - Flowmaster does not have anything to do with the VX brand and got really upset at the shop when they found out about it!). Anyway, I would stick with the stock Y-pipe and do the Flowmaster kit (has 40's on it). Runs a little over $600, but you may get a good deal buying thru your local performance shop. Unless some custom shop has superb customer relations, don't mess too much with custom work...you (like I was) will be sorry and end up spending a fortune to fix it later.

I wish I had stuck with the stock Y-pipe and gone dual from there back using Flowmaster's V6 dual exhaust catback kit. I have had 4 exhaust systems and 5 sets of mufflers on my car over the past year! I have forked out a TON of money and time to have the system redone from the original (terrible) fabricator work. But, I'm extremely happy with the final product now. If I may ever help anyone else out, please contact me.
