I've never heard one in person but what I have heared on the internet doesn't sound to good to me. I think ls1 sounds has a couple clips. The spin tech muffler sounded like *** to me as well. Thats just my opinion. My hearings not that great anyway, thanks to magnaflow w/no cats and my teenage years of thinking bass was cool and got the girls attention. WHAT... HUH.... Did you say something?

I have had the 4" Mufflex sys. with the spintech and the Flowmaster, and I lost 13 rwhp with the spintech over the Flowmaster, but let me warn you, the flowmaster is VERY raspy!

I have heard the 4 inch system with spintech muffler on an LS1 cammed SS... it sounded amazing. I was going to get this system, but everyone keeps telling me it flows like crap. I am not about to spend $600 for only the sound and no flow!

The reason I brought this up is because most people on here want alot more flow than stock and try to keep maximum ground clearance. It seems to me that on the passenger side of the driveshaft that you can tuck pipe in the driveshaft tunnel while the driver side presents problems with tucking because of the torque arm. So if you can get the same flow while tucking atleast some of the pipe in the tunnel why not do it? It has been said that a 3" pipe flows about the same as two 2.25" pipes so a 4" should atleast flow the same as two 3" pipes. The only drawback I can think of is without the crossover in the exhaust there wont be as much scavenging. I guess after reading some of the post I can conclude that either the Mufflex exhaust flow like *** based on peoples experiences, they flow good based on peoples esperiences, or alot of people just dont know what the hell they are talking about based on chatter about them. 
I love smilies!

I lost it by changing nothing more than the muffler, I have stage 2 LS6 heads from TEA, a custom Grind cam similar to the F13. The Flowmaster Flows real good, its not an 80 series crossflow, its the deltaforce series.

Yeah, I thought about getting the mufflex catback but hate the mufflers they use. I wouldnt be surprised if the 4" spintech and flowmaster mufflers flow less than a 3" straight through muffler. I wish they would use a straight through muffler like a magnaflow or ultraflo or would sell just the 4" pipe.

Man i was really thinking about getting the 4" mufflex with the spintech. How can this system not flow well. I thought the spintech was a good flowing muffler. Anybody else with this system have any imput.

"I use a 3.5" I-pipe being feed from a 3" Y. Advantage is I can use a QTP 3.5" electric cut-out. Cross section of 3.5" = 9.6" SQ. Stock 2.5" = 4.9". I think doubling is plenty for a 346 engine"
Me as well, 3.5" all the way out the back courtesy of Stainless Works ( their headers and y-pipe with bullets too ). PLENTY for a 346, I almost wonder if it's 2 much sometimes.
