And it did help me too, I am pretty sure what mufflers NOT to buy now. Funny how the old flowmasters lasted 30 yrs and then new brand 700 miles. Though I guess to be more fair, the mileage may be about the same, since the 700 does equal about 2800 passes.

Thanks guys.
Overall I'm much happier with the new mufflers, the old Flowmasters were really a pain in the ear on the street but fine on the track where my car was quieter than anything with open headers. A buddy of mine had some new 3" aluminized Flowmasters on his bracket car, one of them failed almost right away from a loose baffle rattling away inside so it's a crapshoot.
If another Ultra-Flo muffler fails I'll return
both for a refund and put some PYPES Race Pro mufflers on. I have a pair of the 3" Race Pros that I'll be trying out on my soon to be LS3-powered '64 Tempest before too long.
