I didn't know Greg put Flow Masters on his car too. I run the three chamber FM's on my car. Had I known Greg that you were going the same way I would have sold you mine. Setting off car alarms is one thing, losing my hearing is another. We tried to quite them down by adding washers at the exits. It did help a bit. The wife and don't wear ear plugs anymore. And we can talk to each other and hear what we are saying. We added corvette magnum tips (3inch)too. They do sound good but i'm changing them to a drifferent set before Vegas. Not stock but a good flow as not to lose HP.
Yes ShotGuns, that would look great and Ive heard they work well on many applications. But be aware that SuperTraps work the opposite way; they 'block up' or get quieter as you remove the discs....its the spaced discs that allow the backpressure / spent - gasses to escape, thus sounding louder.- You could even remove them totaly on Track Day.
Have a look at what the factory mostly did on the Grp4 's . - I have a similar system on mine which i think looks just gr8 and very different, apart from sounding totally increadbile. "... totally addictive...." Quote from PIM's immineent and knowledgeble moderator.( sp? ) Pics on PIM's fabulous Photo Gallery soon...tai krige
The Folgers can idea is great! Spray it black and leave the polished tips. ahaha

TerryM- You had flowmasters on your car? Do you happen to have sound clips of that? I'd be interested in hearing what that sounds like. Can someone make a comparison for me: Flowmaster vs. Ansa ..hmm I'm thinking this would be another good threat. Exhaust comparisons

I'd like to hear that too. Can we add sound files to the BB? I have some of Hall Big Bores that are pretty good sounding.
Hi ya SGG & MotorCity.
I have a short clip (AVI ) of my 180 system & Webers being set-up with vacume guages that sounds nice & shows how the end-cans exit the body on both sides; ala the Factory Grp4 manner.
But alas, Iam but a fledgling explorer of the Electronic Ether, plus being totally computor illerate. ( My son has flowen the coop & i've no young kids here with me. Does anyone no how I could post this clip on our wonderful Photo Library or right here ? - If not, i will enlist the help of a pro. Webmaster, - I think they are called, & pop it on forth, or fithwith.
I have Hall big bore headers and these 'stock" mufflers and tips. I cut out most of the baffles and have great flow. I still set off car alarms as I cruise down the blcok, but it sure sounds quiet next to some of the guys I met in Monterey - especially Paul Westberg whose car is in the latest PI Mag.

Larger cans ehhh, sounds like plastic surgery.
If you a just looking for a little more boom in the tone, give your trusted muffler shop the stock system. I had new tubes made that were bigger than stock, we measured to get the biggest tube to fit. I think we were able to match the inlet of the tips at 2.25 inches. I can get you the numbers. For "mufflers" I used resonators, double tipped that are available from "Summit Racing". They are "Pacesetters" by Monza. 2.25 inch inlet with twin 3 inch outlets. $65.69 a pair. I had these welded on and used stock hanger locations and hangers. I love the sound. Not like my old big block Chevy with three inch pipes but a little racier. Noise? At cruising speed it doesn't seem to be any louder than a good GTS system. At idle and with a heavier foot, nice.
My total cost for the system was less than $300 if I recall. It has been 5 or 6 years.
Have fun, it is good noise and won't piss of the neighbors when you "idle" by.
