flow master kit experiences

I am looking at the Flowmaster 817495 American Thunder 409S Stainless Steel Dual Rear Exit Aggressive Sound Axle-Back System...

Anyone have any thoughts and experience with this product?

I don't think you'll find anyone under 80 that would say Flowmaster doesn't sound good. They have an amazing sound.

Vegas81 – We don’t release a kit unless it’s dyno proven to increase power and mileage over the stock exhaust system.

Was the test done by running a Camaro with 40 Series mufflers and then without any mufflers?

Were you testing off the shelf 40 Series mufflers or were you testing the custom 40 Series mufflers we made for our Cat and Axle-Back systems? Were your results taken from testing a stock Camaro? If not, what mods have you done?

I've seen similar results myself. The chambered mufflers are GREAT for sound but the factory mufflers actually flow more....

Kind regards,
