Flowmaster system has been good to me for almost 10 years. Still solid. I did do 2 things to help it last. Drilled a 1/8 in hole in bottom of the mufflers for water drain & also coated the inside of the pipes with POR-15, used a sponge for that.

To: The Chevelle Mailing List <chevelle-list@chevelles.net> That's one thing about my current system that's probably working out as a "good" thing- since it's not sealed real well right now, all the moisture drains out on the floor in my garage!! 8^] I appreciate everyone' input on this, thanks so much. I saw the Pypes setup in either my Jegs or Summit catalog, and knew nada about their stuff, so it's good to hear some feedback on it. And I guess you guys are concluding from me talking about an exhaust swap, that I decided NOT to trade the car 8^] The exhaust thing has been the biggest thing bumming me out about the vehicle, so if I can get that resolved I think I'll be in a much better place.
