A diverse cross-section of teens and twenty-somethings are installing the equipment that sells for thousands of dollars

What kind of Flowmaster system costs 'thousands of dollars'?

[HELLRAISER II]

What's happened is that they've got Flowmaster mixed up with complete cat-back systems that does a complete replacement of the whole exhaust system including Catalytic Converters & Muffler. Hell you can go to a local exhaust center where I live and get complete dual exhaust system, remove Catalytic Convertor & put in Flowmasters & Chrome tips for under $500.00. I think they're talking mostly about the Rice Burner systems like Greddy & Revolution not Flowmaster. Somebody didn't do their homework apparently, but some of these @ssholes ust don't give a hoot.

"The Riceboy Rip-off Special" (hint: the stickers really drive up the cost....)

An imaginary one, I reckon. Summit Racing Equipment's online catalog lists the most expensive Flowmaster exhaust kit at around $540.00 - for a late-model Corvette. Most other applications list at prices between $150.00 and $350.00. Now, if you go look at the Borla product listings, there are three which approach or exceed $1,000.00 - kits for the Corvette, Viper and (!!) Chevy Monte Carlo. Of course, Borla's stuff *is* high-grade stainless steel and for all practical purposes *permanent*.

Even if you also replaced every gasket, bolt, nut, hanger and even the catalytic converters, it would be tough to nudge a Flowmaster system cost over $1,000.00.

Actually, Flowmaster fans seem to be more popular with older white men than a "diverse cross-section of teens and twenty-somethings."

The sad thing is that even Flowmaster's so called "street products" are illegal on public roads in most states. This makes them a very bad investment no matter what their dollar cost.
