LM1's VS Flowmaster

97GT4.6 · January 6th, 2008, 06:11 PM

I know this topic has been brought up about 500 thousand times but I just would like a few opinions.

A fellow MM member is selling both Flowmaster 40's and LM1's.

I believe they are both just the mufflers.

Which mufflers do you prefer? All my exhaust is currently stock, except for my cheap ass mufflers that I have on it right now.

Which ones are louder? Flowmasters seem to make more of an annoying sound at 2000k, but I'm not sure about the 40's series. I have watched a few videos, and its hard for me to tell.

With both of these mufflers, I'd probably have to take it to an exhaust shop right? They will need to be welded in?

Thanks for the help guys. My car is mostly stock, with a few modifications. I want something that's pretty loud.

LM1s will sound like ass completely. Flowmasters sound good!

My friend has a V6 Firebird and it sounds pretty sweet, but thats an Fbody. Thanks for the help earlier today matt. I appreciate it.

MustangMatt96GT · January 6th, 2008, 06:16 PM

i like the way lm1's sound on stock hpipe with the cats and if you want loud it will give you that.. flowmasters are everywhere! they will give you alittle louder of a sound but not much over stock

97GT4.6 · January 6th, 2008, 06:21 PM

Yeah, thats what i heard, flow's aren't that much louder. So i guess its a debate of loudness versus quality.

Unless you like the sound the LM1. I know I do, lots of people don't. You should choose the sound over the loudness because you're the one who has to live with the car.

That's a good point. I'll be the one driving it everywhere, considering its my only vehicle now, and my parents don't like me driving their stuff.

Ill go listen to some more videos, and see what they sound like.

what you should do is buy that o/r x pipe thats forsale on here.. and then get some lm2's

the o/r x might even make your cheap mufflers sound good

i tired to find the link for ya but i guess it was on another website.. still if i were you id get a hpipe or xpipe first then get ya some mufflers

97GT4.6 · January 6th, 2008, 06:47 PM

Alright thanks. I'd still have to have cats tho, because of where im going to college next year has emissions testing. So LM1's would sound good with an x pipe?

id get lm2 with a xpipe unless you want REAL loud

97GT4.6 · January 6th, 2008, 07:13 PM

Alright thanks, I think im just gonna do the LM1's for now, with a stock mid pipe, and maybe later down the road ill get a x or h pipe.

MustangMatt96GT · January 6th, 2008, 07:26 PM

I think you should hear my car first!

gtdan · January 6th, 2008, 08:36 PM

i heard matts car and it sound badass i am running strait pipes and it doesnt have a good tone compared to matts car!!

97GT4.6 · January 6th, 2008, 10:53 PM

Matt, you're running flows right?

gtdan · January 6th, 2008, 11:10 PM

yes

MustangMatt96GT · January 6th, 2008, 11:16 PM

o/r H with Flow cat back

AndrewA. · January 6th, 2008, 11:31 PM

I have a o/r x with flows that are dumped and love it. I dont think its loud but when you get on it, thats when i REALLY love it

Ive heard LM1s with an o/r x and it is DEFF loud sounds alot better dumped..doesnt get that annoying sound so much IMHO

97GT4.6 · January 7th, 2008, 12:01 AM
