why not flowmaster?
Not happy with my G6
Ok..
I have a buddy who has a red 2006 g6 gt and I swear to god its much faster, better response, and overall just quick compared to my 2007 which has mods done to it.
My brothers wife also has a red 2007 g6 gt all stock and every time he rides in my car he says it is way different in shifting etc. There g6 is also much faster and response as well compared to mine. I dont get this..
Does anyone have any adivce or clue of why this is? My g6 just doesn't seem to have the power and stuff like I think it should. Im super disappointed. Let me know any thoughts or inputs. Thanks.

Flowmaster doesn't make a catback system for the G6.why not flowmaster?
While this has nothing to do with the thread, the above discussion on exhaust is what I have been searching for.
So if I were to buy 80 series flowmasters, minus the res, my car will sound awesome but lose torque? (this being kind of decently priced?) Or I could a magnaflow (dont know how it sounds) and get good performance with decent price. OR I could save up for a while and get a GT-R exhaust and find the ever elusive medium between sound and performance but up the price? Is that accurate?

really up the price, but you got the right idea.
The GT-R is about $50.00 more than the Magnaflow system that hndah8r went with and then complained about losing torque, which is why he is now looking for something else, and we're about $200 cheaper than the GMPP version. Those are your kit options, from there your option is to put together something on your own, but your chances of having it mandrel bent like the kits mentioned is probably zero, as the machinery that does that is quite expensive and requires regular tooling replacement as they wear with use, making it none cost effective for just about any local shop you'll find. As for materials, most shops use aluminized steel, some by request will use stainless 409, which is quite a bit more $$ and will also rust eventually, if you opt for stainless 304 (the better material) it gets pricey real quick even if you go for the cheap Chinese junk that's out there. If you're just looking for sound and nothing else, I would just remove the factory resonator, if that's too loud for you, use a cheap resonator like the Cherry Bomb.While this has nothing to do with the thread, the above discussion on exhaust is what I have been searching for.

i don'd know what people are talking about the cheepest i found the magnaflow was $611+tax(7.75%) and i can pick it up but it is a single side and i am going to be doing an ait or a razzi kit this winter and they have dual cutouts for the exhaust so for the money the GT-R is my best bet i don't want a try a this and that exhaust because in my experance it will almost always cost more!!
GTR you got my info wrong. I didnt buy a Magnaflow system, I only bought a Magnaflow muffler and made the diameter of the piping to 2.5". I spent about 250 putting all that together. Yes I lost some torque and I thank you for giving me info for getting some of it back. But like I said I can never see myself purchasing an exhaust for 500 or more. Speaking about exhaust, Im redoing my entire exhaust this week. Ive been talking to a bunch of mechanics and we are coming up with something. Will post after completion.
Dude if you get that Razzi kit and the GTR system thats over 2k right there.... and the Razzi's front bumper sits up too high and looks weird...lol. GL.

Sorry for the confusion. How much will you have on the new, then add that to the old, and then of course hope that you get it right. Remember, you went with what you thought was the cheap route.
Don't feel bad though, you're not alone.
Do yourself a favor, if you plan on keeping the car for a while, don't skimp on materials, or you'll be doing it all over again before you know it.
i have to agree GT-R just waiting too see if this MPD hood deal go through then i will be ordering my exhaust
Oh im def not worried, esp now that I work part time for this local shop called Full Blown Chassis and Paint. They have everything except for a dyno. Luckily the owner is a good friend of my father-in-laws. The only thing he asked in return for doing anywork for me is to help him when ever he needs it. So far its been everyday...lol. Hes also hiring a custom painter / airbrush guy from Nashville, and he asked if he could paint my car to rep the company. So Im gonna keep this 6er around for a little bit to see what other ideas he may have.....
