I'm getting my exhaust redone at 2 1/4'' piping and think its time to get rid of the fart can. What do you guys think about the Flowmaster? Its a 96' Hatch by the way. And thinking about painting it flat black too. Muffler is $90 new. Suggestions?

flowmaster is more for v6 and v8's. it will be quieter than the old fart can.

Magnaflow universal > Flowmaster

Hell, get any magnaflow cat-back with a resonator and it will sound badass. But make sure you get a resonator either way.

Even the 60 series?

the that flowmaster on my hatch right now, but my was custom made though cause the 2 chamber wouldn't fit. now it 1 1/2 chamber now...

Tee Jay

So your saying the flowmaster you got on your car is sounding nice?

it sounded like flowmaster sounded, it's really loud if you don't have resonator. they sure know when you get on it though.

Tee Jay

Yeah, I'm getting the resonator and all when I get my new piping and what not.

by the way my exhaust system was 2 1/2 mandrel bent all the way back. dc 4-1, hi-flow cat, resonator, and custom flowmaster.

all of the flowmasters ive heard on hondas dont sound very good, also most flowmasters are chambered and not straight through designs, most japanese mufflers are designed for the exhaust frequency of a smaller engine and this makes it sound cleaner. personally i wouldnt put something made for a different engine on my car.

if you wait awhile, I'll be putting a dynomax super turbo on my thermal b-pipe soon.
I'll write up how it sounds over the thermal cannister

I'm getting it done on Thursday and its either the magnaflow or the flowmaster. Seems like magnaflow > flowmaster
