Default WIDE OPEN Magnaflow muffler destroys Flowmaster!

So we pulled the Flowmaster out of the Mufflex 4" today and swapped it with a much lighter straight through Magnaflow muffler. Not only did the Magnaflow make a nearly 10rwhp peak gain, it was also 7db quieter than the Flowmaster! No more drone!

Magnaflow!

Flows sound great, but are **** for performance. The numbers don't lie, Flowmaster cross-flow mufflers suck

The Mufflex doesn't come with a cross-flow, it's a Flowmaster race muffler.

True, but it's pretty much pointless to make a post like this in any thread, regardless of age:

The point of a forum isn't for your own use, it's so that if someone has a problem, question, etc. they can go onto the forum and into the knowledge base and find what they are looking for. Don't delete your threads, that's just silly.

agreed, that is just deleting information. I dont make new threads that much because just about everything that i have a question about has been covered and is usually found with a search.

flowmaster on a all stock car sounds great... magnaflow with all the neccessary bolt-ons sounds better with all the air you can give it...performance wise....I don't think HALF the people care on the performance aspect of a catback. We listen to sound clips for what sound effect suits your needs...hardly the hp gains... I know I would chose a catback that sounds awesome over one that might give me a couple more horses...so either..theirs never the right answer
