The class of $\lambda $-synchronizing subshifts generalizes the class of irreducible sofic shifts. A
$\lambda $-synchronizing subshift can be presented by a certain
$\lambda $-graph system, called the
$\lambda $-synchronizing
$\lambda $-graph system. The
$\lambda $-synchronizing
$\lambda $-graph system of a
$\lambda $-synchronizing subshift can be regarded as an analogue of the Fischer cover of an irreducible sofic shift. We will study algebraic structure of the
${C}^{\ast } $-algebra associated with a
$\lambda $-synchronizing
$\lambda $-graph system and prove that the stable isomorphism class of the
${C}^{\ast } $-algebra with its Cartan subalgebra is invariant under flow equivalence of
$\lambda $-synchronizing subshifts.
