why do you want a flowmaster muffler if you already have a Magnaflow cat-back?

Regardless of your reason, i've seen a few members running the 40 series muffler on their Cobalts.

My old flowmasters gave me nothing but headaches and they don't sound anything as good as my Magnaflows did.

One of my mufflers had something break inside of it and make a high pitch ringing noise. It was so annoying.

Magnaflow > Flowmaster

kinda loud when ur up in the higher RPM's, but it has a nice low growl to it, i get compliments alot. works perfect for me, no need to waste $300 or more on a exhaust system, i'll just get some headers and maybe a DP, but thats all.

cost me 140 for the muffler, tip, and install. I think adding an aftermarket manifold will make it deeper but louder. I set off car alarms out at DFW airport

I've never really heard SS Familywagon's car, but Blown 4-banger's sounded horrible with a flowmaster. I recommend trying 2 Magnaflow mufflers. 1 round and one oval. That is what Blown 4-banger had before he added a 2nd round for a total of 3 mufflers. Here is with the 3 mufflers.

If you are willing to shell out the cash, the GMPP catbacks would be a very good option for you. Here is my car stock and with the GMPP Sport. ( have since switched to the Touring for a deep mellow tone)

You'll be able to hear it this weekend. I've actually have gotten alot of complements on how it sounds. I personally think the resonator helps alot.

I was always told that the 40 will sound very raspy unless your engine expells a lot of air (like an FI car or a V8) and Flowmaster designed the 60 series to sound best when installed on the smaller N/A engines. Thats the muffler I am going to get when I do my exhaust. I heard one on a 2.4 twin cam Cavalier, and it sounded like my buddies magnaflow catback on his SS/SC, nice and deep.
