I have an opportunity to purchase a complete Flowmaster exhaust system for my 1969 Chevelle Malibu from a private party, It is a Flowmaster American Thunder Dual Exhaust Kit, it has all the pieces and hangers, the mufflers are Super 40 Series Model # 952548 2 1/2" O/O. He wants $275.00 for it complete. I do have headers on my car and would like to get more of a throaty sound. Can any body tell me what the sound would be like and if it is worth what he is asking for it. Thanx Jerry

IMHO I would jump on that deal.

Great fricken deal, they retail for over 400 with everything. I installed mine in less than an hour complete. Best out of the box system for the money IMO fits and looks GREAT!!! I think I made 4 cuts, two at the collector and shortened the rear for factory style chromed steel tips. Sounds absolutely BadA$$!!

what size pipes? 3 inch?

IMHO I would jump on that deal.

For sure!

what are you waiting for,
Flowmaster rules, Dynomax drools......... :)

It is a 2 1/2" Exhaust system, I called flowmaster and he told me that he would not recomend putting it on a 350 unless it was at least 300 HP, As it would hurt the performance of a lesser Horsepower motor. He said that I could use the mufflers and go with a 2" exhaust system. The part# on the kit is 17119. Thanx Jerry

What size engine do you have? I don't want to waste money if it is not going to work out. Thanx Jerry

I used a 2 1/4 system on my 327, but it was a hot little motor. I wouldn't be too worried about going with a 2.5" system on a 350.

Agreed. Go for it. Every single 350 I've had all used 2 1/2 inch pipes. from 250 -360HP.

Jerry, I have the same exhaust kit on a GM crate 350 in my father's car and my Bigblock 69 vert 2 1/2 header back is not going to hurt the lower end if your using an appropriate size primary header tube.
