Exhaust Questions???

[dch61407]

I was just wondering why everyone seems to bash Flowmaster mufflers? I just bought a 96 gt and it came with x pipe and magnaflow mufflers, It was not really that loud and it just was not impressive to me so I put Single stage flowmasters im guess series 10 unless they come in other series and put the stock cats on it and it actually sounds alot better. It seems to be as loud or louder but with a better tone. Do flowmasters really cost horsepower because I havent noticed any loss. Seems like torque is better. Anyways I guess I was just trying to find out what the deal is with flowmasters. I have no drone at all with these either.
