Strength:
Definitely the sound, seems like it is getting louder all the time. Makes my 400 sound like it should.
Weakness:
Have not noticed any so far. Awesome sound, I haven't done any tests on it but it seems to be helping hp, torque, and mileage. Similar Products Used: Oe muffler is no comparison. |

Very nice sound, 100 times louder than stock. No really noticable performance improvements, but wasn't getting muffler for that reason. Just wanted to make lots of noise.
Weakness:
None to speak of. I love the sounds that come from it. As soon as the mechanic fired up the engine, I couldn't help but smile. :) I love it. I've read all sorts of reviews on Mustangs, and big F-350's and can only imagine how loud they are on a "powerful" car. For only having a 100hp car, it sure does purrr now. Very nice product. Similar Products Used: Dynomax Turbo - Noticably louder. |

Strength:
Everything!!
Weakness:
Can't find any for our use! First reason why we spent around $450 was the fact that we had all new pipes put in from the headers back including the mufflers. You may think this sounds weird to have something like this on an old "grocer getter" but it's a head turner!! Similar Products Used: None |

The sound is AWESOME!! Have the exhaust exiting straight out the mufflers behind the cab. At idle, sounds great; at full throttle, it sounds heavenly. Has that race quality sound, a sound you can feel. there's no talking if i have the sliding rear window open, can't hear it anyway.
Weakness:
none. Ordered them from Summmit for $55 a piece. Got the 2 1/2". Installed them my self the next day. Had bought a pair of used headers for $25, installed about a foot and half of pipe on either side, clamped on the mufflers and started her up. The sound that came out of that pipe was everything i was hoping for. Also noticed quite a power increase at takeoff. i have 31" mud tires on the truck, used to just kinda accelerate, now i can get those back wheels spinning. also added a K&N filter. WOULD DEFINETLY RECOMMEND THESE FOR EVERYBODY. Just bought a '99 mustang 3.8 V6; I am planning on dual exhaust and some more flows. THE FLOWMASTER SOUND JUST CANT BE BEAT. Similar Products Used: just the OEM mufflers that it came with. |

UNBELIEVABLE SOUND!!!!!!!!!!! This muffler sounds so good I can't believe it. I've only got a V6 but I sound better than most V8's. There was a noticeable torque increase in the midrange and 1 mpg increase as well. I would definately recommend this to anyone looking for a very loud, aggressive muffler with a muscle car sound.
Weakness:
might be a little loud for some people. I would very highly recommend this muffler to anyone looking for that powerful sound with a nice power increase at a very low price. The sound simply can't be beat...I've heard glasspacks, straight pipes, turbo mufflers....nothing can compare to flowmaster. Go and get one now!! Similar Products Used: stock...much better flow with cleaner sound and more power...looks nicer too. |

Strength:
Deep mellow tone with impressive response.
Weakness:
Scares neighbors if pushing high RPMs late at night! I had Flowmaster on my Mustang 5.0. The aggressive tones and power gain were well worth the cost, especially with the addition of an after market Similar Products Used: None |

1998 Chevy s-10 reg cab 4.3L / Flowmaster 40 delta series
Strength:
Very nice rumble while idle, although at about 2000 rpm's the beast is unleashed! It ran me about $256.00 and that's after taxes. I think it's worth the great looks and sound. After the install I instantly noticed a mild performance increase. I'd say you should expect around a 5% increase in pickup after installation. This is the first modification I've made so far.
Weakness:
none. Also, I hate those import coffee can ass cars I see everywhere. The Flowmaster 40 series slaps them in the face everytime you hit the gas. Other chevrolet owners even let me into traffic more now ;). My new exhaust sets my truck apart from the other s-10's without a doubt. I love it. GM PRIDE! Similar Products Used: stock exhaust sux ;) |

At a cost of $50, plus $50 for custom pipes and $30 for stainless tip, flowmaster is the god of all exaust systems, sound wise anyway, but hey, who really buys an aftermarket perf. muffler and expects huge power gains from a muffler alone? I have the 4.3L 4x4 version V6 (Yes, it is different then the 4x2 version)at low rpm, (around 2000) it sounds much like the 5.3L with stock exaust, at that same rpm level, while in 4 wheel drive, it sounds so much like a V8, people always ask me, "Since when do S10's come with the 5.3L?" and when I tell em it's the 4.3L, they can't believe it till I pop the hood and show em. And at wide open throttle, I sometimes feel like I'm driving my girlfriends Z28 the sound is so great. And then, after I bolted on a Vortech Supercharger, along with Hypertech Programming, sometimes I forget I'm driving a V6 4x4. I could go on and on about how great flowmaster exaust products are, but I think I've said enough to get my point across..
Weakness:
A little too quiet at idle, but hey, it's still a V6 no matter what I do to it.. The best, period, unless you drive a Ferrari or other exotic car, nothing compares to Flowmaster... Similar Products Used: I've tried them all, stock, dynomax, glasspacks, gibson, no muffler at all, even BORLA!!! I have a garage full of mufflers, and none of them compare or make my truck sound harder, then the flowmaster 40 series. I tried the 3 chamber flowmaster too, not bad, but tooooo quiet for my tastes... |
