Thats not too bad a price, the only thing is your getting slowmasters you may have to change your name after you get them, I had them on my 04 FX4 after 8 months they rusted out, but they did sound good for that 8 months! good luck with them!

Unless your mind is absolutely made up, I would consider Magnaflow. I had a SIDO Flow for 5 years and when I made the change, it was so worth it! The Mag made more hp gains and has a richer, deeper tone. If you still go with Flowmaster, at least get stainless steel tips. Even with chrome polish once a month, my chrome tips rusted after a few years (as well as the Flowmaster muffler rotting inside). Not a bad price for the setup.

I had flows on my 02 and it bogged me down my low end was sluggish. I changed to ss Magnaflo and what a difference sound is a little mellow but the performance gain was worth it along with not looking at rusting exhaust also.
Good Luck with your choice.

For 95% of the guys who get a dual exhaust, it's for the sound....which is why I went with Flowmaster...it's 100% not stainless, mandrell bent, from my local muffler shop. 1 1/2 years and two winters later, it still looks great, including the chrome tips. And I paid $350.

I am extremely happy with my flows. I will post some pics as soon as i can. I had fairly small noticeable gains in power. Nothing major.
