RE: [Chevelle-List] Flowmaster - stainless ?

[396guy]

They're not stainless at that price.  Sure they'd look better and last longer but for the sound (my first set of Flowmasters), it's a pretty good deal to me.  If you're building a car to show and not drive much, even springing for an HPC/JetHot/etc coating wouldn't be out of line.  I'm sure there's someone out there who makes stainless pipes or could make them...just not my market right now.   Dale -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Cecil "Steve" Martin Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 8:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Flowmaster - stainless ? Dale,           The pipes aren’t stainless are they? Wouldn’t stainless last longer and look better?   Do any other companies make a stainless “kit”?  I like the kit concept.                                                    Steve     --------------------------------------------------------------- I'm quite happy with the Flowmaster American Thunder kit I used in my 67 SS.  I think they came with a 30 series muffler but it's different than the standalone 30 series I believe.  Had to be for the difference in price.  The kit was $290 w/mufflers (2.5") compared to the pipe kit at $199...making the mufflers $100 for the pair.  Designed for header equipped cars, they came complete with all pipes and hangars from the headers back.  Not too loud on the highway and no "drone" at speed.  Part #17119.   Dale
