What do you think?

If I was running a quad tip, I'd like the space filled a little more. However those tips ARE really cool, and the alignment is excellent.

More importantly - how does it sound?

BTW: What is that RX500 all about?

 

[REDGAR]

I have a video I can share to show the sound, I forget the filename so will get it up tonight.

the Rx 500 is Prescription 500 horsepower (brake)
I am a customer of The Vette Doctors, thus the theme of prescriptions.

The car is at 451 rwhp how which is about 550 at the flywhell or more depending on the factor you use for an automatic trans with 5000 stall converter

Big time drag racer.

Sweet! I'd like to be your Goodyear dealer! :L
My 2001 came with Flowmasters when I got it last December, that was one of the selling points for me, I love the sound and the unusual look.
Any idea how many HP they add? Can the Vette Doctor folks tell ya?
Save the wave!

Well the car is on drag tires in the video and that was only done to get a feel for the setup before we hit the drag strip. I do go through two sets of drag tires a season. I get out 3-4 times a month to do some racing.

As for gain from the exhaust, it is hard for us to measure because there were too many changes at one time to isolate the exhaust by itself. The car had just had major surgery and a complete exhaust swap from headers to exhaust.

I agree

Had the exact same muffler/tips on my 99 when I bought it, the installer had cut the over axle pipe and welded em in! I didn't like the tips at all so I replaced em with Corsa Indy's w/Pro tips. The Corsa's sound better and look MUCH better IMO.
