My new Flowmaster!

[SilverBullet75]

Hi,

I just got my new exhaust setup! Flowmaster Super40!
Absolutely love it! Wanted to do duals, but way too expensive for me. Had the Super40 done for about $210, including 3in chrome tip, and a $20 tip for the tech

I used to work at a Porsche repair shop, and I swear my VX sounds identical to the 930 now! Not too loud, not too quiet... but Juuuust right. On the highway, the sound is masked by my MT/Rs.

It was kinda funny... After Church yesterday, I was pulling out of my parking spot and all the youth-group guys' heads turned as I drove off! LOL.. that was fun... a lot of them have tricked out Hondas, etc...

I'll try to get some pics and a sound clip soon.

Did you run new tube? Or just swap the muffer?
If there is new tubing What size did you run? Also can you feel the difference?

I want to go from the cats back with larger tube,(like 2.5 or so) then to a corrispondingly larger muffler because Im figureing it would sound deaper and more throughty.

I stayed with the same diameter pipes. I was told that power would suffer if I went larger. Didn't want compromise power just to increase the sound level. It was just a basic muffler swap-out, and chrome tip install.

and.. yes! there is a difference in feel! I can't really give you any % of change, but it IS noticeable. (I can give you a SWAG of maybe 5% more power) Throttle response is wonderful! I have to be careful now of how much I squeeze the gas, because I tend to listen to the tone of the exhaust more than I watch the speedo! LOL.

If you want, I'll post a sound clip tonight.

Jim,

I look forward to hearing it in person this weekend! Having the proto of the PV1 with all its mellowing through the years, I am really curious about other set-ups.

I should say that the cylinder inside my muffler has broken loose and I have to make a decision to weld it back in place or opt for a new muffler.

Hi, I hope I don't end up regretting buying the Flowmaster after hearing other people's VX exhaust setups. Being that I never really hear other VXs, due to sheer lack of numbers, I don't know what to compare it to. I like the sound at least. Can't ALWAYS compete with the Jones's... LOL.

Congrads!!!!
Please post SOUND CLIP!!!
I'm still considering an exhaust change myself.

You said you wanted duals...how much did they quote you to do them?

Thanks!

[SilverBullet75]

They quoted me $580 out the door. (and the guy was hinting for a big tip)... This setup was using 2 Flowmaster Super40's. Granted, it would sound absolutely awesome... I just wasn't willing to spend that much.

BTW... sorry, I got sidetracked last night and haven't had a chance to record the exhaust. I'll post as soon as I can.

Also, CAN i post a sound file? Does it work the same as posting pics in the gallery? I don't have my own site (yet).
