Nightshift Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I've been talking to my friends at Meineke. Thinking about building a system with the Flowmaster 80 series. It's a crossover muffler so should be a true dual(?). I don't want much noise, so they would add a couple resonators in front of the muffler. Then run 2-1/2 pipe dropped down behind the rear wheels or at the rear corners. I'm looking for a nice rumble and no/little interior resonance. The Corsa is sweet, best price I have is $709 shipped, allot of $$$ for a single exhaust system. Anyone use the 80 series? WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have got to get past the sound, not my cup-o-tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black03SS_NJ Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 I may be WAY off here, but I don't think you can run a crossflow muffler on the SS. I am pretty damn sure that the inlet and outlet are on the same side of the case. So unless you want one tailpipe out the front and one out the back, I think you are going to have to use another muffler, or mount the 80 series sideways, which I don't think would work. On top of that, have you heard an 80 series on a trans am or camaro? That's not a quiet muffler. In fact, I think the crossflow has little "muffling" effect at all. I talked to flowmaster about running two resonators on the SS to tone down resonance and they swore I had no room to do it. I disagree, but I don't want to be the first to find out!

Nightshift Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 You're right! The 80 Series won't work, just looked close at the specs. What I understand on the Flos' is the higher the series, the quieter the sound. There is room under there for 2 resonators, the guy I deal with built a sweet set up under his F150 with a 40 and 2 resonators, had a nice tone and not too loud. He was saying use a 50 on the SS, I came up with the bright idea of the 80. Maybe I should be listening to these people instead of trying to dream this up on my own....

supraman Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I honestly can't imagine my 50 sereies sounding any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxjiggaxx Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 I think you might be able to use a 70 series. Should be quieter than the 50's. I am going to put some Super 40 Delta Flows on my truck in December! -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said the inlets were too small 2.25", the 6.0 needs more breathing room. They suggested a 50 Series #527504, dual 2.75" in, dual 2.50" and to use the heatshield #51222. I'd just hate to cut up the stock sysytem and not be happy with it (which has happened before). There's always the Corsa, if I didn't like it I could probably sell it to one of these fine people.
