The Flowmasters flow much better than the stock BDR mufflers having only two 7/8" perforated holes...


They do come unpolished so plan on spend some time sanding and buffing


And they are a bit larger ID than OD of the pipes. I took mine to a muffler shop and had forward pipe and tail spouts expanded a bit. (Don't push it they can crack) You won't get a perfect slip fit but the welds won't be enormous.
Ensure you install the muffler with the short depth cone on the inlet.

While your at it you may want to change the rubber support mounts. Bosal PN 255-481 $2.00 per most everywhere.


I added a hose clamp around the mount. Just snug enough to keep it in place and reinforce the mount from tearing.






Sound data from a earlier thread
need sidepipe options to get the decibel level down

Last thing: These are 1/2" larger OD than stock and the heat shields won't fit without re-contouring and larger clamps. They run a lot cooler with the Ceramic insulation in the case but my wife still got a pretty good Snake bite getting out of the car...
