Sorry ..... typo. Meant ".6" instead of "V"

The point I was trying to make was that the Flowpaths sound pretty darn good in my opinion, worth checking into.

they do sound good but they are not any quieter than what Joseph has on his car now

That's what I was thinking. Marc has the 3 1/2 pipes and the ones I've heard with the 2 1/2 are a bit quieter than Marc's. Still probably louder than what he's looking for.

I loved the way Brian's car sounded with Flowpaths, too, but that's not the sound I'm going for.

I believe I need to find a set of center in/out Pro-XS Borlas.

I had the same problem with the same setup. I stuck the stock h-pipe back on with the stingers and been enjoying it. I know I gave up a few ponies, but I really like it.

yeah I ran the prochamber/flowpath on my combo for a few years. Sounded really good but the highway drone would kill me on long trips

The must have changed the design because you no longer have the issue of the drone inside the car. Most of the sounds is from beside or behind the car now. The drone was exactly what I hated about the Flowmaster 40s I had on my coupe.

That's why I want to get something quieter. The sound now isn't so much of a drone...it really sounds more like loud exhaust than the "resonating" sound you get with Flowmasters that I've always called drone. It doesn't really bother me just driving around town, but on long trips like going to the beach or on the Dragon it drives me insane.
