Flowmaster super 44
 
Im in the market for buying some flowmaster super 44s but when I went to their site i wasnt sure which one would fit my car. I have a 2002 MC SS with the stock exhaust. Would any other kind of FLOWMASTER sound better? Thanks in advance.

IDK off their website, but you would probably want a 2 1/4" inlet with a 2.5" outlet muffler

I assume you would be taking it to an exhaust shop to put it on, so perhaps they can order it for you too.

I wanted to do that but im sure they would charge me more than what they are worth, thats why I wanted to buy them myself and just pay for the labor.

A decent shop won't try to make money off ordering the part for you, and sometimes they can even get it cheaper than you could ordering it yourself. If they're going to charge you extra to order a part for you, they're not concerned with the quality of their services, they're just out to make a buck, and it's best to avoid those places.

Usually they have a dealer's discount for most products, so they pay less than you would, and then they mark it up to roughly the same price. Or they add money and do a free install. In the end you aren't going to get ripped off.

I went on tirerack.com to buy tires, I also went to a tire shop to quote. I could get the tires $100 cheaper than their prices, then I had to factor in shipping, and mounting for each tire. When the shop would have included both of those things, in the end they wound up being $20 cheaper and less work for me. That's how businesses operate.

Oh ok. I never even considered that lol. I guess ill locate a nice looking shop. I was so pissed at auto king when they cut out my resonator and replaced it with straight pipe and half way welded it. I wouldnt have even known if i didnt spray the under body of my car while it was running, it was like a baby spitting and it had a horrible hissing noise like air leaking from a tire. Ummm does Chibi have the answer to everyones questions? Lol he's a Monte Expert.

I do A LOT of reading about Monte Carlos :)

Also having and working on one for nearly 10 years helps.
