I'll give 'em that, they do sound damn good, although my 50HDs did have a pretty annoying drone in the cab from about 1800-2200 rpm (right at damn highway cruising speed, ugh!).
But they did rust out pretty bad on the top, I'm guessing condensation formed on the inside and sat on the inside top of the muffler.
I researched a bit before replacing them and was really disappointed in the flow rates of the "flow"masters though...

Not sure what mine are flowing with the set-up I have (true dual SIDO with H-pipe). I don't think they're restrictive though. I'm sure the singles do hold back a bit... I do know it's better than the performance Mag. that came on the Daytona. No rust here yet...

I've had FlowMaster 50 on my 5.7 QC for about five years now. No rust that I can see. I absolutely LOVE the sound both outside the truck and driving with windows down, however it does have an annoying drone around 2K RPM/70 mph inside the cab.
I honestly thought the drone was just part of the package of an aftermarket exhaust like that. I'm not disappointed, at all, in the FlowMaster exhaust, but I'm not against trying the MagnaFlow next if it wll cut down the in-cab drone.

I didn't think mine was rusted too bad either. From the bottom and sides I could only see surface rust, but when I cut it off to weld on my Cherry Bomb Extreme, the top was like a piece of swiss cheese!!!

As 4matty3 said, I'm a kid and I love the drone lol. I have the flowmaster super 44 on my 4.7 and I am just fine with the drone. I have been driving to school and back home a lot this year on the freeway and if the drone gets annoying I just turn up the 12s lol. I would have to say though I am thinking about dynomatting the floor of the truck to keep out road noise/ drone but if I don't I wouldnt have a problem with it. I personally love the flowmaster and the only reason I may switch to a cherry bomb when this one goes out is for loudness, the louder the better. I love pissin off the neighbors lol. And whomever said make sure they tubes are mandrel bent is a saint, trust me you want that lol.
