Dunno, maybe you should ask someone with a fast car what they think! I believe i may need to look into acquiring a secret like yours, because i want to go faster too.

Re: MAC vs. Flowmaster
yea but it aint gonna sound that much different i had a 2.25 inch and 2.5 with original 40 series about 4 years ago didnt sound much different to me at all. you can also buy 2.5 inch tailpipes from latemodel resto. a lot of companies mac, flowmaster, magnaflow make stainless 2.5 inch tails. just bolt it onto your 40 series mufflers if you want but its not gonna sound much different especially since you want it LOUDER with some tone.

Re: MAC vs. Flowmaster
Just an aside from the "Peanut Gallery"....I have equal length BBK shorties, Pypes X pipe into 2 chamber Flowmaster 40's. Has a nice deep idle and when I open it up you can hear me from a distance. Nice, deep sound. Again, as posted earlier...its a subjective thing for sure! Good luck.

LOL...I dunno, man. I think you may be faster than me once your secret has been engaged.I don't plan to do anything to the car between now and then, but knowing my car and having seen yours. I will tell you this, if my holds together, without giving up to much info it'd be a drivers race, that's to say you leave yours in it's current form.

Maybe, but it would have to be at a track that's at least prepped a little...lol.
