flows and a gs don't mix. if they did people would have been rocking them long ago. try you a 5.0 and a 3chamber flowmaster, no were talking imo.

Brendan, please get it right if your going to say I have something. For the record, I used to have flow's for a hot week. I was only testing them for a local company my friend worked for to see local reaction. They sounded good but too American. I now have a custom exhaust by the same shop.. that I got compliments of trying the first one. Sounds awsome.
