As posted, you will likely gain power. Flowmaster systems are anything but.

Go with Corsa's ZL1 exhaust and stay 3" all the way back.

Pretty sure that the 2.5" diameter Corsa will EASILY handle a lot more power then your pushing. No flame toward you or your car in any way, just that the dual 2.5" diameter exhaust will easily handle much more power then your pushing.

The only thing you will notice will be sound different.

Thanks for all the replies.
I'm so happy with the way the car sounds now. The car just SOUNDS like a more expensive race car/exotic sports car. The Flowmaster drone was excruciating, and the car just sounded like it had a bad leak.

Sound is pretty subjective. I have had people love Corsa, and other's install it and take it right off because it was not aggressive enough. In general, it is more an exotic, European type sound, and not very loud.

Flowmaster on the other hand sounds the same as it did on your gramps 1st Gen Camaro. Since most people grew up with it, that is their reference for a good sounding exhaust. The downside is, almost every other exhaust now has better flowing muffler technology than what Flowmaster uses.

In my humble opinion, the Borla S-type is the Goldielocks exhaust here. Great, aggressive sound, plus straight through flow.

I also love the Flowmaster. cam and kooks and 3x3 cats with the 2.5" neckdown removed. I have book "Big Block Engine Buildups" (HP Books) where they tested a 572BBC and found that it only lost 3 hp at the top end...interesting.
