80 series flowmaster
how does the flowmaster sound on a 305? does it help much if you redo the whole piping to 3 inch and make it true duals. What about hp. gains? Does anyone have video clips of their thirdgen with a 80's series.

Re: 80 series flowmaster
I'd stay away from flowmaster. The design just doesn't work with an F-body designed system. I can't tell you how many times I've seen swaps from Flows to something else and there's always a gain. Look at the Hooker catback systems. They work awesome, sound sweet, and are priced decent.

Re: 80 series flowmaster
If your 305 isn't heavily modded, go with what you think sounds the best. It's not going to make a difference HP wise if you go with a Flowmaster or Aerochamber. Pick which system sounds the best to you, and be happy.

Re: 80 series flowmaster
I had 80 series on my car and like they said no hp gain from it. but it sound sweet. I put my muffler where the cat goes and ran the exhaust out the side right infront of the rear wheels. Looked and sounded great. But no hp gain.

Re: 80 series flowmaster
I have a flowmaster 80 on my 305 Camaro. It is a single 3" cat back, dual 3" outs on the muffler. Y-pipe is stock and I am running a standard catalytic converter.
It has a nice sound to it. Nice low tone, fairly quiet at idle. Compared to my dad's Camaro which has a 350 (low compression truck motor w/tpi on top), mine is only a little bit quieter. His has the same setup except it has 2.5" tips.
On another note, when I first bought mine, it had no catalytic. And, it sounded more aggressive than it does now. Definitely a noticeable difference in sound when we brought it home after getting the cat installed.
Here's a link to the sticky with a bunch of sound clips.
