1 Chamber Flows?

[MUSTANGJOE]

Hey guys..

I'm ordering 2.5" tails for the stang, thing is I have 275/40/17 out back.will I have any fitting problems? Also I was thinking of ditching the 2 chamber and getting the 1 chamber flows!..Anyone ever heard this muffler?..does it still have that flowmaster sound or will it just be loud and final..?Thanks for the replys

why??? whats the purpose of going to a muffler that is basically designed for a track car that must run mufflers. IMHO anyone that runs 1 chamber flowmasters on a STREET car is "rice" sorry my OPINION

Personally I wouldn't go with the 1 chambers. Three chamber sounds good, and it doesn't over power you on long trips. Not much power to be gained there.

I have 17x9 with 275s as well the clearance issue I have is with the Panhard Rod. I had to beg around a little to find a shop that was willing to put in the 2.5 exhaust. The odds of 3" are pretty slim

You shouldn't have any troubles. Good luck!

my buddy has them on his 4.6 and they sound like crap. I threatened him with calling the cops for violation of the sound ordinance if he didn't get real mufflers.

lol..you guys are funny!.

2 chambers it is

So I would'nt hit the tire with my 2.5" exhaust..?

they really sound like shiit? I thought they might sound good lol - do you think theyd sound good on a 347 stroker w/ fully straight pipes, no emissions -

I had them on my 95. Made my mustang not sound like a mustang anymore. The car sounded like it was cammin a little harder. But sounded like crap.

Be aware that every car is different and that there will be production tolerances in the exhaust pipes that you buy. For the most part though you should be just fine.

After you get the pipes installed keep an eye on the clearances. Things will settle. My pipes actually settled into the plastic shroud over the fuel tank. Just a little scary.

On high compression engines they sound really good. It is the people who put them on stock cars that it ends up sounding horrible.

ive got one chamber flows and an x pipe on my car and i think they sound great....well a lot better than the race bullets that i had on there. no more popping or sounding like a dump truck. i think the x pipe is what makes it sound like it does. it sounds more like a 4.6 than a 5.0 which kind of sucks...but it still has the low rumble of the 5.0

ive had 2 chambers, spintech pro-streets, 1 chambers, and dynomax bullets, the 1 chambers were by far the best sounding and this was on a pretty much stock engine with offroad H. Do you really want it to sound like every other mustang out there w/ 2 chambers? 1 chambers get my vote

my friend has an f-150 with a 351W in it. He doesnt have dual exhaust on it, so its only one. But it sounds good, not real loud until you get on it.

1 chambers are rice? I'm not trying to pick a fight but some of you guys make it out like if it's not to your liking, then it's "rice".

Personally, we always just cut the back end off of our 2 chambers, since we werent running tail pipes anyway. Sounds mean as hell and i'm pretty sure it couldnt hurt in the flow department, although it *might* have been ricey

 

[Scott_95GT]

I have 1 chamber flows on and they sound great. They sound similar to the single chamber borla's I had on my old 5.0, only better. Single chamber flows, dynomax bullets or any other similar muffler sound extremly loud when they are dumped. If you are running them with tails, they won't drone loud or be too raspy. Mine aren't. You will be very happy with the single chamber flows if you get 'em.

 

[MUSTANGJOE]

I have 2 chambers dumped right now..but I would like to put the tailpipe back on cause its missing that flowmaster sound a little..I need that hollowy throaty sound

 

[87GT 306]

I know someone with flowmaster series 1 and they sound real good. It wont sound like a mustang and will not sound like $hit unless u put them on a stock motor. It wont be "ricey" either as someone stated. IMO its not rice unless its got a APC or arospeed etc etc. stamp on it.

I got the stock 225/55/16 all around with 2.5" pipes. I got maybe, maybe an inch between the pipes and the tires. I want to go with 245 in the rear but I am afraind to, and I hear spacers are s**t. Unless someone knows what to do if I get spacers.

 

[WantaGT]

my only experience is with a 4.6 with tail pipes and yeah it's loud, extremely loud. but it sounds like crap. His car sounds like a dump truck. the best way i can describe it is disgusting. but we all have personal preference. some like it loud, regardless of tone. it's like music, just because it's loud doesn't mean it's good...

 

[UMDSmith]

I have full 2.5" with the 245's. No fitment problems on the 89 LX. I also have ravin performance exhaust mufflers, which I'm chucking soon. They are VERY sedate, and actually keep the car fairly tame, even under accel.
