Default Fabspeed maxflow exhaust Questions

Thinking about purchasing these. Anybody have any experiance with them, looking for input on what else need to be done before or after install. I understand that they are just bolt on and go the car will learn to deal with increased exhaust folw. Any feed back would be greatly appreaciated.

The Maxflo's sound great and are louder than RSR's but there is some resonance at around 2400-3000 rpms. Try doing a search; you'll find lots of info.

Good luck!

I love mine, although there isn't any noticable improvement in perfomance. At least you'll sound like your going faster! While they are a simple install, the only thing you have to futz with lining up the tips. My wife helped me eyeball the tips so that they were even, while I tightened them down.

Hi,

I just ordered and received fabspeed maxflo by ordering through Vantage International (they have a web site). The total cost was $900.00. Very good service. I'm very happy with the mufflers and don't notice resonance as others have mentioned.
I'm a shade tree mechanic and was able to install both in less than 2 hours. The first took longer than the second and if I do it again, I'd probably finish in less than an hour..
I also got instructions on changing mufflers from P-cars.com which were excellent.

I have posted on this subject before and once again I have to say "where is the resonance everybody talks about with these?" I have had mine for about 9 months and love the sound. If that rumble is considered resonance by more discerning ears than mine, then that would explain my fondness for Irish stout over fine French wine . As I have pretty unsophisticated sensibilities, I like setting off those ridiculous aftermarket alarms in the "2 fast 2 furious" cars in store parking lots. I only wish the RSRs were a little throatier because Robin is a great guy and does real quality work.

Hi, Alex,

His site is a riot and taps into a seething annoyance. I think he's onto something, yes?

Another vote for the MaxFlows. I've had mine for a little over a year and love them. Very easy to install. The tips are like a work of art. I had considered getting the mufflers without Fabspeed's tips because the old ones will fit. DO NOT DO THAT! It would have been a huge mistake. The tips are a different length so the factory ones would be buried somewhere under the car. Instead you can have their tips and they really look great.

Now that site is funny! I am going to keep the stickers in my car and hold them up when I see the appropriate cell phone/lane swerve technique so common around here
