I finally found mine!
3 years ago when I swapped to the Aussie head, I ended up putting a pair of Flowmaster 50s in the back with no X or H pipe. The reason for no crossover was the limits I put on the exhaust shop. I told them I did not want the exhaust pipes visible when you looked at the side of the car. to do they, they were tucked into the driveshaft hump and there was no real room for a cross over with the T5 and the additional plating for the convertible.
My opinion of flowmaster 50s were mixed. At Idle, they sounds good, but a little tinny for my taste. WOT made me grin from ear to ear. Highway cruising, I could hardly hear them with the top up or down. So far so good. But what killed me was the around town driving. The flowmaster drone was just killing me as I sounded like too many other inports on the streets.
I dealt with them for 2 years (mostly because the car was garaged for 1.5 years while I did a complete rebuild of the suspension and drivetrain). This spring, I finally could not take them anymore when I started the car up. As soon as it was road worthy, I took the car to the exhaust shop and had mufflers changed out to generic Turbo mufflers. THe sound was as perfect for my 6 as I've heard. Nice deep note at idle, beefy under acceleration, and most importantly, no resonance. I'll try to get some audio of it posted next time I take it out.
BTW, I have 2 flowmaster 50s for sale...
