Flowmaster Super 44's

Anyone have these installed in their goat? I called up a local shop that is a retailer for Flowmaster asking for a price on two of these, but they said they couldn't get me a price because flowmaster says that they don't make any specifically for the goat and they don't think they will fit.

They recommended I bring it in and test fit them before just to make sure they fit. For whatever reason, I don't think that sounds right.

Just a few questions: Does anyone have them and was there any issues with fitting them?

Also, how much did they cost? How much to install? And, were they welded or bolted on?

Thanks in advance for your help.

BtchPlz, Im getting ready to install the cat-back kit from Flowmaster. It includes the Super 44's a real X pipe and the tail pipes. 2 1/2 inch all the way back with 3" tips. The Super 44's should fit your goat just fine. You can order the cat-back for about 500 bucks. It would be worth getting, or atleast looking in to. I'll let you know how it sounds and how well it fits.

I just finished installing a K&N FIPK kit. Took it out for a spin, and it sounds AWESOME. Ofcourse, I've been without my goat for almost 2 months. Had a guy run a red light and plow into the left front. Got an 06 hood out of the deal, so Im pleased.

update! I had the Flowmasters installed today! They sound pretty darn good. Not as loud as I would have liked, but it gives the engine a really buttery smooth growl when you accelerate, and only some minor popping when you let off the gas. The kit is easy to install too. If I had my own welder, I wouldn't have had to go to a shop.

Thanks for the input guys, I found out that the 2.5's should fit just fine maybe just a slight lower than the stock. As far as the price goes 75-80 is about what I was expecting to pay, but now the issue is how much will they charge me on the weld job.

I called and got a quote for $150 from a muffler shop that didn't carry the flowmasters but wanted me to order them and they would weld them on. I asked how come he couldn't order them and he said because if I don't like them he can't return them. Doesn't sound like a very good muffler shop.

But now, I like the idea of getting the cat back for $500. Decisions decisions.

I`ve been considering the same on my `65. What kind of headers are you running?? And does the exhaust exit the rear of the car? Or behind the rear tires? Are these louder then the 50 series? Did you buy it as a kit? Or did a muffler shop fab it up for you?
