Magnaflow and a cutout for when you need it to be louder.

I like flowmaster but not on a Fbody I like it on a pick up or old hot rod.But there is just something about magnaflow I just don't like it, the sound is like to me but that's just me. I test drove a 06GTO last weekend with magnaflows and did not like it one bit! I like everything else i'm just not a big fan of magnaflow................

flowmaster. sounds better. performance wont matter anyways. with stock piping there will be absolutely no difference between the 2 as far as power.

honestly if your talking about catbacks id say magnaflow, but for nearly the same price of the basic magnaflow catback you can run true duals with flowmaster 1 chambers or super 44's that sound way better and flow just as well.

Well none of the muffler shops around here have a magnaflow in stock for these cars but have flowmasters like crazy. I really need one and want to get one installed today. I guess I just have to wait and get one ordered then....
