Flowmaster Question

Most people here will tell you to leave the stock cat. Supposedly they flow as well as aftermarket ones. But yea, you could do it before if you wanted.

Not bad. 300 I can do right now. What else can I do it it?

Hi flow cats are worthless on our cars. You gain like 2 horsepower. Not only that, but you have to deal with the SES lights because the O2 sensor.

Not worth the money for the extra power. Save more money for my superchanger. I was really thinking I was going to spend 900.00 on a new system for my car. Would it be better if I went with 3 inch pipes?

check this out.

Thanks again didn't know there was a seach. By any chance do you work for INS?

oh sorry late mis read. No big deal. Where you get it then? 80.00 not bad for a new one.

i work at a parts store and pay 10 percent abobe jobber.. (aprox 35% less than a consumer would pay)
im having a buddy that owns a garage install it for me cause he has the tubing and all that there.
i bought my monza tips off ebay for dirt cheap.
my entire set up is going to be 2.5

sounds good Illarin, does anyone know if the 2.2 will sound that good? i have the muffler gonna get the 2.5 inch piping done in a couple of weeks.

doing mine in 2 weeks. 2.5 inch pipe with the flow master 80 dual tips each side. Should look and sound great.

well glowbot i hope you like the outcome because the 3.4 sounds good with that exhaust setup, but does anyone know if it will sound anywhere close to that with the 2.2 and 2.5 inch piping?

I have never even seen a 2.2L in person. Only the 3.4.

i honestly like the ecotec better than the other two. just because its lighter and you can do alot to them for little less money and its a 4 cylinder so insurance and gas mileage is better. but i still would like to know from someone how the full catback exhaust will sound on the 2.2.

not all the time, before my lmig went bad i was getting 30+ mpg...
and my insurace for full is only 35 a month

and ive heard a flowmaster on a 4cyl, it sounds like poop.

hey i have the delta 80 series with dual tips on my 3.4 V6 and it only ran me little over $200 with mandrel bends. but if you have the 2.4 your better off with something like the magnaflow of somethin. And btw my cars sound hella beefy for a V6

lol from what I can see the tips I can get for 45.00 each so thats like 90.00 for the tips and 68.00 for the flowmaster 80 off ebay so I'm up to 158.00 then I need pipes don't think thats going to be more then 50.00 and then 60.00 - 80.00 install fee. Really don't think I'm going to need more then 300.00 to do this project. Also want lowering springs 2.75 - 3.00 drop.
