Wow! are you those flowmaster raspy or what ! you defitnetly have me thinking about the stingers!...
Your best bet is to find a set of used long tubes in decent condition and just buy another set of header gaskets/locking bolts and you can have that setup cheap. I got my headers and off-road x pipe for 500 shipped from a member on here.sounds really good. i wish i could afford your set up
How old were the Flowmasters the reson I ask is the first set I bought in mid 06 did that as well but the set I have now that they replaced them with clearly has extra welding you can see from the outside thatthese have extra braceing that the originals did not and have held up very well so far .Eh, I'm done with the rattlemasters. I had the flows for a long time, then picked up Kooks catted headers and didn't like the sound of the flows. So picked up Stingers and loved the sound. Put the flows back on for the hell of it and after a couple of weeks the drivers side one broke something inside and rattles like hell (well known issue with these mufflers). Stingers are back on and staying on.
