Hey cub, be careful about trans flushes. A higher mileage, heavy worn trans is much more likely to fail after having one. That being said, a good drain, new filter and upgrade to a goof synthetic, amsoil, redline, lucas etc is a good thing.

and thats exactly why i am not flushing mine i was pointing out that if you do use it in the trans your gonna have to flush it to get all the seafoam out
anyway that beings said i replace everything at 3,000 trans filter and fluid oil and filter plugs wires ect.
but yes they are more prone to fail after a flush
if its high milage

Another cleaning trick, when you do a coolant system flush, add a cup of liquid tide in the radiator when you refill. It keeps everything clean and prevents scale buildup.

No problem altyson. I'm here to help when I can and explain things on a down to earth level rather than get too technical. Wiked, the flowmaster is just a nice yhroaty muffler. It may be a little loud but as long as you're not hammering the throttle all the time the neighbors should be cool. I'm not a big glasspack fan, like cherry bomb or thrush. However, when you're talking old hotrods or old street trucks, nothing sounds like the old Smithies. They're sooo smooth it's sikk.
