Flowmaster question - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Trustym2 · 03-08-2011, 05:00 PM

So, thus far my favorite exhaust sound has been the Flowmaster exhaust and at this point I plan to get one. I do have a question though or a couple of questions. From researching it sounds like they may be prone to rusting?

First off is this the case? I'd like people that have had actual experience with the flowmaster camaro system on this question.
Second, if there is a Flowmaster Rep on the forums I would like their take on this and if they say it is not, will their warranty cover if it ever does?

Thanks.

I have the American Thunder cat back. It comes with a 10 year warranty and made of 409 SS...for $650, I wouldn't worry about it rusting anytime soon.

The whole system is Stainless Steel, which doesn't rust. The mufflers are coated to avoid this issue even more.

I highly doubt Flowmaster would have been as popular as they are since the 50's and even earlier if they rusted easily.

From my experience with them, they are made of high quality materials and haven't had any rust yet in torrential rains in the SF bay area recently.

Love the sound. How about the solo high flow cats, were they easy to put on?
