    Flowmaster Slimline Mufflers 13530320 (30")

    Apparently these mufflers are no longer available. I am interested in buying a set of these. They come in a 24" and a 30" version. I am looking for the 30" version. If anyone has a set that they did not install and don't intend to use, I am definitely interested in buying them.

    Please PM me or if someone is aware of a vendor that might have availability on these, I would sure appreciate a contact.

    Thanks in advance.

    I really appreciate you sending these links. Unfortunately, already contacted these three companies earlier this week. What I have discovered is that most of these companies are online fulfillment companies all drawing from the same inventory. There are a few companies out there that have their own stock. Strikeouts on these companies. I actually called Flowmaster and found out that they have been bought out by Holley about 3 months ago. Holley indicated that Flowmaster discontinued the SlimLine series before Holley bought the company. The guy I spoke to actually went through their dealer network that they supply to and looked for the 30" mufflers but none show in inventory anywhere. He also checked their own inventory for anything that might be left over on the shelf to no avail.

    Aren't the 30" are going to be too long or you will have to have very short turnouts, will look odd I believe. Mine are 24" and are just perfect replacements for the factory five POS

    They aren't too long IMO. The turnouts would be shorter but that means more muffler to protect the leg from a snake-bite. The turnouts are still plenty hot compared to the Slimline muffler. Thus, I'd prefer the 30". A friend of mine has them on his and they look great to me.

    Regardless, there are no 30" versions to be found anywhere so it doesn't matter. I had to settle for the 24" version which is pretty much what I have now with the Gas-N pipes. I'm sure I'll be very happy with them. Getting the 24" version was no easy task and I may have depleted the last of the inventory. As it was, I had to purchase from 2 different vendors after coming up empty on 10 other vendors including the manufacturer and having them do a national search within their distributor network for any remaining stock (none found).

    Looks like this muffler product is a page in history now. Hopefully, they bring them back.

    What will they do for "lifetime Warranty" ?
