The weather in S. Jersey has been cold lately until tomorrow. Monday and Tuesday is suppose to get up around 59 degrees and sunny. Monday morning I take the goat around the corner to get the new super 44's flowmasters installed. It will be nice weather to take it to my local shop plus take her for a nice ride and test it out. I make drive it to therapy tomorrow afternoon when goat gets done. Yahoooo!
Sounds like the best winter medicine- good luck on the flowmasters- I can't wait to hear how they sound. I put the 40's on the transam and it sounded killer.
I'll be picking mine up from service today or tomorrow for a dead battery and shifter rattle repair.
Good Luck
At my house in NH, we had over 4' of snow in December. The goat wanted to go out and play, but I wouldn't let him. If the snow isn't bad enough, my Vette is in the shop getting a new clutch.
I didn`t finish the restoration on the `65 till after there was snow on the ground, I have it all done, but haven`t been able to drive it yet. I need the snow to melt and a couple heavy thunderstorms to wash the salt off the road before I can get her out of the Goat House.
If you don't mind me asking, what prompted you to choose the Flowmasters?, and why Model 44? (I have Model 40 on my 'Stang).
Are you getting only the mufflers or new exhaust all the way from the cats out?, X- or H- pipe?
And mostly, for whatever system you are purchasing, what is your cost?
I have been considering the Spintech mufflers for my GTO. I have found some sound clips and like the "noise", LOL. They will run $350 + installation.
TIA
Well, I have always liked the sound of the flowmaster original 40 series which I had on several of my previous vehicles. I started firt with the resonator delete, by adding new straight pipes in place of the resonator. It does sound very good. Due to the design of the gto exhaust, I had to choose a muffler with an offset inlet and outlet on the same side. I saw the super 40's on pfyc.com which stated they would fit on the vehicle. I saw super 44's advertised and suppose to be more aggressive sound/flow better than original 40 series. I heard a 6 gto with super 44s on u tube and sounded good. took measurements of 44s and they r actually smaller than super 40's, so they should fit even better. So I ordered them. I just dropped goat off to muffler man at noon. I'm keeping factory exhaust tips.
Flowmaster only makes a complete exhaust system for the 2004 GTOs not the 05-06's. By the time i get done with exhaust it will be all new except for headers and tips. ordered them from local napa store which had then in the next day. $78.00 a piece. For the resonator delete and pipes plus labor was $80.00. Hes chargin another hundred to install mufflers and add any new piping he sees fit, keepin' exhaust tips. Hope this helps.
i hate winter!!!
last time the goat was out was mid november,
its only 3 months ,but seems way longer.
today i went to say hi to the gto,
was gana start it and let it run a little,
but the battery was dead
so now i have the charger on it.
i wish winter was over already!!!!!
Sucks to be you brazen!
My goat fears no cold. With the kicka** heaters in these cars, unless it's snowin/rainin, I'm drivin!
Shined her up this weekend, and she's sittin pretty right outside my office window today!
