Strength:

Most importantly the sound. It's not as loud as a Z28 with a flowmaster, but it is definitely louder than a stock Z28. It sounds like a have a good sized V8 under the hood. It has a good throaty rumble when you crank it up and give it a little rev. I can be driving through a shopping center or parking lot, and just ease on the gas until about 2,000 RPMs, and people usually look over to see what car is rumbling. As far as power, it didn't do much in the low-end department, due to the loss of backpressure, but it did help in the top-end (70+) mph. The car pulls strong all the way until the 120mph governor. Gas mileage improved significantly as well. On the highway, I got approximately 312 miles to a tank when the car was stock. With the flowmaster I now get 370 miles to a tank on the highway.

Weakness:

There really aren't any complaints here. The tone of the flowmaster is so much deeper than the stock exhaust, and that causes the interior of the car to vibrate a little at certain RPMs. For example, if I have loose change in the cupholder and I'm accelerating at about 2000-2500 RPMs, I can hear the change buzzing in the cupholder from the vibration of the exhaust, and it didn't used to do that before I added the flowmaster. That's really such a small thing though, because if the radio is on, or you just let off the gas or give it more gas, the rattle quits. It's really a very trial thing in comparison to the improved sound, gas mileage, and performance.

I paid approximately $140 for the flowmaster and install. I had dual exhaust run and added chrome tips, and it was well worth the money. It looks good, and sounds great. If you want your car to sound like a muscle car, then there isn't a better exhaust system on the market than flowmaster. I've heard several Borla catback exhaust systems as well, and from the Dyno tests, the Borla does give slightly better performance gains, but it's rediculously expensive compared to the flowmaster (often 2-3 times as much), and the sound isn't as deep and rumbly. All in all, I'd say the flowmaster was a great investment and I've been very happy with it.

I had a 50 series flowmaster on a previous vehicle, and I had no problems with it either. I've yet to hear an exhaust system that sounds better than the flowmaster.

Strength:

Awsome sound, Feels like it did add some extra power. It fit like it was from the factory.

Weakness:

None that I can think off

I recomend this muffler on all F-Body cars. The car sounds the way it looks, like a muscle car. It only cost $140.00 for the muffler and installation.

Model Reviewed: 1994/Camaro Z28

Strength:

Great sound, definate hp increase, much freer flow, Flowmaster's god name and quality.

Weakness:

not much more torque increase because of loss of backpressure, some would like a louder sound.

The Flowmaster 80 series muffler is the one that you're going to get if you have a late model F-body. The hp increase is a good 10-20rwhp. Very little torque increase (and sometimes a slight loss) because of loss of backpressure through the freer flowing system. Sound is a little louder and more aggressive than stock and has a unique Flowmaster tone. All in all, a very good choice at a low cost.

Strength:

HORSEPOWER!!!!! and it keeps my engine cooler too!

Weakness:

I wish it would get louder

I bought the flowmaster after I was told I couldn't run true duals on my f-body! Oh can anyone tell me if there is anyway to run duals on a f-body 3rd gen?

Model Reviewed: 1992 Camaro Conv. 305TBI

Strength:

LOW LOW GROWL. Definatly Cool. Increased throttle response, lowered engine temp. (because it can move exhaust quicker), and more horsepower over stock at midrange rpms 2,000 - 4000.

Weakness:

Not loud enough.. No growl or loudness at rpms over 2,000

Good, not the best., I've got a 305TBI in my Camaro Convertible. It makes a cool low growl below 2,000 rpms. Although higher in the range I would of hoped that it would of been louder or kept the low growl. Higher in the range it sounds like factory exhaust. I have stock exhaust manifolds so they are a blessing if you don't have headers. Although, headers are in the works, maybe it will become a beast then. :-)

Factory and No Exhaust.. period.
