say what?? have you heard a off road x and flows or are you going by what everyone tells you...my car has no raspy sound to it at all and everyone i talk to loves it and wonder why my car sounds better and deeper then there h pipe cars

I currently have a Bassani catted X and flow 40s, intermediate stage because the last owner put flows on the car. Not really a fan except at certain RPMs, it's pretty raw sounding for the most part but more that nasty kind of raw...I've heard some offroad X setups with Flows and some sounded good where others sounded like total crap, I guess if I came to a conclusion on it I'd definately say the results are inconsistent. I'm sure a lot of that is due to some having 40s, 50s, 2 or 3 chamber, etc., but you ask someone the details and most are clueless. The better ones used the true x pipes like Magnaflow, Dr. Gas, etc, where the others weren't as good, especially the cheaper ones that simply bend the two pipes together and cut a slit in the middle.

But most of the offroad x + flowmaster setups I've heard have been on 4.6 cars. 5.0 cars I haven't heard many with that setup, but it's pretty hard to make a 5.0 sound bad anyway.

MY flow setup was very raw.. i mean very. Harely Davidson motorcycle raw. When i had the o/r H and flows it was beyond raw... i mean it sounded more raw than a harely lol. Now with my current mac dumps its still raw, but thats the nature of the o/r H.

oh baby.. in person this setup is 2 damn raw! http://media.putfile.com/Flows-and-OR-Pipe---92

What is this a competition to see who can say raw the most? Besides, Ive had an o/r H with flows dumped right after the muffler and my old catted h and slp setup was WAY louder and WAY better.

yea i ran the stock H and flowmasters for about a week, then switch to o/r h and flowmasters, then to the o/r h and stock catback. The latter performs and sounds the best
