Flowmaster 80 series muffler

i've been thinking about getting a flowmaster 80 series muffler put on my car, so i'm looking to see what people have to say about them. if you have it, have had it, or have heard it, tell me what you think about it.

they sound good. Badassgrandam99 has an 80 series on his car, and i heard it a few times. If I didn't get a good deal on my SLP used, I would have gotten the 80.

Sounds good and you can't go wrong wiht flowmaster

Its not cheaper by any means. SLP you get 2.5" mandrel bent piping with no resignator, muffler,tips and all hardware for install.

I myself are not a big fan of flowmaster. It has the crappiest flow rateing compared to SLP or magnaflow.

Isn't Magnaflow made by Flowmaster? :unsure:

I think it is but they are 2 different parts completely.

i was gunna get either magnaflow or flowmaster, is the flowmaster 80 loud in the car or is it not too bad?

You can hear it but it's never bothered me, especially with the stereo on.

well i love my flowmaster and with mine nstalled and evrything done it was cheaper than slp, and since iv put my CAI on it seems to be louder, it sounds awesome now, i dis agree that flowmaster has worst flow, if so y do all high performace cars like camaros have nuttin but flowmaster? its simply the best

Not all high performance cars have flowmaster. Its a little different with a V8 anyway. We really nead the highest flowing muffler we can find and magnaflow is it.

i have the 80 series with 4 hooker stainless glass pack tips. great sound.

once again........ no1 on here makes enuff power or flows enuff air for the muffler to make a huge impact on the power output of the motor. most all name brands will bring u the same gains...... ie..... dynomax, flowmaster, magnaflow.

the biggest difference in mufflers will be the sound they produce.

go to general performance and look for the post about this...read what I said there. I'd say go with Magnaflow. I'm pretty damn sure that they are not made by Flowmaster, and they flow more by far. Just because it says flow in the name, doesn't mean they're related. They are owned by Car Sound Exhaust Inc. (they make catalytic converters). And yes, flow does matter for these cars. No offense, but I haven't heard of anyone with non-V8 engines talking about Flowmasters as an option for quite some time. As I said before, good luck man.

I have the 80series and i love it. I paid TOTAL with tips, muffler, and install about $180 from the local Meineke Muffler shop. They did a good job and it sounds GREAT! I suck at noticing performance gains because idk if its psychological or not but im sure it helped at least a lil bit. Go for it, it's like 3X cheaper than any other kit!

Its cheaper then any other kit because its only a muffler. SLP you get all new 2.5 inch piping. But if your not going to be dumping $ for engine mods for your alero and only want the sound. Buy the 80 series. I own the SLP, But i have a little turbo project going on right now and need hi-flowing non-restrictive exhaust.

P.S. Custom 2.5" Test Piping to replace cat in the works.

So what is the cost of the SLP
