Does anyone know if Flowmaster 44 series fit an 08 Impala ss?

MixedImpala04 · 01-28-2012, 03:01 PM

most people on here have the flowmaster 44's and love them. but ill let our resident forum spokes person LSKing tell you about them and how good they sound and the slight drone they give off.

Get them you will love them

Ok ok Boss is bias... he's Flowmaster's unofficial spokesman.

Now, here are the facts, straight up:
-->They will fit. They will sound great, on the outside and the inside. They don't flow well at all, so if its performance gains your after, look elsewhere. ALSO, this is the biggest "problem" with any flowmaster muffler. They DRONE LIKE MAD. People can deny it all they want but facts are facts. Unless you x-pipe them or take some precautions, they will drone and you will notice it.

Conclusion you should draw from what i said? Simple; they do sound great, they will fit. Boss is right, you will probably love them. Just beware of the drone factor, and like I said if it's performance numbers your after, look elsewhere before purchasing the 44s.

Hope this helped, and good luck! Be sure to post pics/ vids when you do decide which to go with

Yes they drone......but that is wat the radio is for

MixedImpala04 · 01-28-2012, 07:44 PM

if i had a SS i would put either a magnaflow or a SLP muffler cuz they flow great and sound amazing. not to say that flowmaster's dont sound great or anything like that.

IMPALER · 01-28-2012, 07:46 PM

Dynomax VT is something to look into as well. And any Spintech mufflers will have great flow.

MixedImpala04 · 01-28-2012, 07:47 PM

iv'e heard some great clips of spintech mufflers.

i'm not sure how the 8th gens exhaust is.. but ask them about an x-pipe installation (cost and everything). It is definitely worth considering.

Drone is where you can always hear them even when cruising at a constant speed

Drone is a painful sound at highway speeds. I have a FlowMaster Series 50 cat back system on my Vette and I would install them on the Impala if they were available.
