flowmasters are known to make the least amount of hp compared to other performance mufflers such as magnaflow, so yes you may pick up just a tad with a swap. the 5th gear sluggish thing is totally false, your flowmaster is not holding you back in that area one bit, prolly feels sluggish cause it's an overdrive gear they're not made to feel fast in 5th.

Go Magnaflow- Bassani or Borla. I loved the way Borla sounded on my old white fox. Flowmasters are good for the budget

if you are close to stock you are not going to feel a difference, so pick you that you think sounds the best and call it a day.

i've got flow 40's on my car now and with no cats it's too loud for me when i'm on the highway, just too much drone. so i'm getting some mac's welded on this weekend.
