before you start freaking out and what not, i'm just curious as to what it an mkiii would sound like with like an imco or a flowmaster on it? Has anyone ever seen/heard this?

My NA has 2 and a 3/4" flowmaster exaust, I thought it sounded great myself and so did alot of other people untill I gutted the cat.
right now its cut up cause somone wanted to be an ass and jam shit in it....
It gained a louder raspy sound, wasnt as mean sounding, also being an NA it seemed as it lost low end torque.

When I had my custom 3" exhaust welded up, the shop said that the muffler I had brought with me would not fit (probably BS). They said they had a Flowmaster that would fit. I do not know the model, but it was loud as hell and droned when cruising so much it caused headaches (really).
I ended up switching to a Hooker muffler, it is still fairly loud but much better and no Advil needed.
lol, i was tempted b/c a friend of mine can get them for fairly cheap, but now i don't know what i'm gunna go with...i'm gunna be running 3" turbo back with a ported elbow and no cats...any ideas? I was kinda thinking the n1 style ebay muffler because cost is really an issue, but i don't know...

i had a friend that put one on his car sounded great, then he gutted the cat and it sounded like crap and was suffering the problem ShagsSupra suffered
I"m running a 2.5 flowmaster and cat back (w/resonator and gutted cat) coming off of my SS 3" DP and turbo. Sounds pretty bad ass. It kinda drones though at 2500-3000. Around 4000 it quiets down.....but then the turbo gets loud. muahahahaha..............anyway I'll be droppin that in favor of a straight-through muffler whenever i get around to doin my 3" cat back
I thought Flowmasters were bad for turbo cars. Don't they purposefully design their mufflers for backpressure. That would be great for an N/A, but not so hot on a turbo.
I had one on Last year and loved it. Nice deep tone.
I ran a 13.3 with one on. But if you look at the Cut out of one you will see that they are restrictive.

I ran one on my Gallant VR4. It had that headace making drone also. I replaced it with a DTM style muffler and picked up 3psi. So I wouldn't say it is a good choice for turbo cars.
I had the 40 series..... Not strieght through.
I talked with Flowmaster at SEMA and they looked at me very funny when i told them i had a 40 series on a supra. So prolly not a good idea

I think DJVMK3 is running one, but I don't know if he's signed back up yet or not. Since I see him on a pretty regular basis I'm sure I'll get a chance to confirm it. I believe he mentioned it being restrictive once upon a time because he worked at a dyno and was able to test different settings, exhausts, etc.

It WAS on my NA.....as soon as i get enough money, it will be going away...no more back pressure for me!
i didn't think flowmaster even made a 3" in-out muffler.
it's probably an inline muffler right? not like the apex N1 for example?

I have a 3" in/out flowmaster 40 on my turbo. Sounds supersweet outside, drones like a mofo inside. You kinda need good speakers, but you can get a pretty good idea from my dyno vids:

I want the HKS titanium/Megan Racing knockoff muffler w/the flamed tip. Maybe I'll get one of those soon.
