Stock vs Flowmaster 70 video

I finally got around to making an exhaust comparison of stock vs mine. My dad was doing the revving and we had to do a few takes before he understood what I wanted(still wanted me revving, but oh well)

My setup is resonator(or third cat) removed with single 2.5" pipe through a FM 70 muffler exited in stock location. The one thing I didn't do that would have made the sound difference(loudness) noticable was to stand a ways back. I actually want to redo this at some point, but until then this should give you an idea.

Stock-


FM 70-

I know, you tell me that everytime I mention to someone they should look into the FM 70................................

I can honestly say that this setup is louder than most would think and if you just want to be loud, then a 50 or 40 series would be what you want. I've tried a 40 series single in/dual out with dumps and it was freaking LOUD, so loud that it meant spending $260 ASAP to switch to the current setup.

Maybe someday we'll cross paths and you'll be able to hear it. Or if you sell your Sport, look into either a 3rd or 4th gen V8
