    Bought a catback via stangnet partshopper (TopLine). Got the all stainless steel flowmaster catback for my 03 GT. UPS delivered the catback yesterday. Only took about four days from order to delivery. The mufflers didn't have the stainless steel look and feel like magnaflow, bassani, steeda or, borla. They looked like they were powder coated or painted dark grey.
    I have never heard of Flowmaster or Mac stainless steel mufflers but TopLine advertizes it to be true. Sounds great with the MRT catted h-pipe.

    Bought a Magnaflow C/B # 15671 system from *************************

    Shipped same day, received it 2 days later.

    Paid $319

    Fit was perfect - took 1 hour to install.

    Product and supplier were GREAT!!!!

    My buddy picked up some stainless flows off ebay not to long ago. And they looked grey when he pulled them out of the box.

    Thanks for the reply. I just wasn't sure from looking if they were stainless or not. Was hoping someone would chime-in.

    Yeah, the Flowmaster mufflers in the TopLine kit are painted dark grey from Flowmaster, but they are stainless steel construction. The (8) designator before the muffler part number (42543) indicates the SS material, there is also a blue sticker on the box labeled 'stainless steel'.


    Glad you liked 'em! :nice:

    They came with the Magnaflow catback style tips (bleed hole & not much of a slash) and I don't care for the rolled tips. I have SLP tips. My $.02, the SLP tips are the best looking tips on a Mustang catback.

    I just installed my Magnaflow catback tonight. I ordered it from Partshopper and had it 3 days later. I was really impressed with the quality and sound of this catback. Much better quality than the flowmaster catback I had. It sounds better too. A little quieter down low, but deep and mean when you get on it.
