Wow, talk about waking up an old thread. I originally made this post in October of 2004!! Anyway, i did go with the Flowmaster cat-back and it sounds great. As for the rusting issue? There is none at all. Almost 1.5 years later not a speck of surface rust anywhere and it still is the same aluminized finish as when i installed it. The Flowmaster cat-back on my 5.0 is 3 years old...and same thing. No rust at all. I don't understand the rusting issue...because i'm not seeing it. I ended up selling the stock cat-back to someone for $50
WTFMATE???? People complain about someone asking the same question that someone hasn't asked in two weeks, saying he or she should do a search on the topic first before creating a new one. Now someone brings back an old thread and you complain about that, too? Make up your minds.
