Exhaust types?

Is anyone here running a set of flowmaster mufflers? Do you know of anyone who is? I wanna know how they sound on a 2nd gen N/A. I am thinking of running a set of 2 chambers on the stock 'Y' pipe. If anyone has ANY info on this please let me know.

i heard flowmasters will burn up very quickly if used on a rotary but i could be wrong.

i have heard apex'i n1 duals and they sound VERY sweet

hey

I have a long billit muffler and streight pipe after the stock manifold and is pretty quiet and sounds like a jet. People will say that its not made for rotory and will burn out but had mine on for a yr and no problems at all. Just good sound.

I know two people who put a single Flowmaster on an NA rotary, and both of them blew the welds out of the baffles after a few weeks. It still kinda worked, but you could hear the baffles vibrating in the muffler case. You may have better results with a dual setup or with a turbocharged car, but I would recommend a different brand of muffler.
