Is this car a 6spd or auto? I have a 6spd and I like that if I have an important phone call or a conversation with a passenger I can still hear if I keep the RPM down. But I think the sound is perfect in the power band, I do not need to let everyone in the world know I can not afford a new Vette so I am driving a 99 Camaro. If I had an auto I might be inclined to go a little louder since I could not control RPM.
I think magnaflow sounds better than 90% of the catbacks out there,yes its not loud but imho sounds great,yeah duals sounds the best but there also a pain in the ***,magnaflow and a cutout has been my fav, setup. Can be loud,and quite.
i second that. between the two, i'd go with a flowmaster. although i think they sound better behind a gen1 sbc, i'm not crazy about magnaflow.
now if i was starting fresh, i'd get an aerochamber catback. those sound great.

You obviously don't know squat about exhaust systems.
Ricers??? Really?? We all drive V8 cars, are you calling the people who want to ehar them ricers? Or the people that one them quiet ricers? Come on. Unless you have gunmetal enkei stickers on the side, no one here is a ricer, far from it.
i say magnaflow with a cutout you'll get the best of both worlds this is a magnaflow lts ory and cutout open

I started a thread about my car being to quite with Lt's ory and magnaflow I was wanting to switch to a mufflex catbackor have a shop fab it up for me. But now I'm just gonna throw a type of bullet muffler on there with a turndown on it and keep the muffler and tips for when I just wanna cruise..... and maybe throw in a cutout lol
Not sure why people are getting all butt hurt off a quiet exhaust..
I think its pretty hilarious that magnaflow is "Loud"..
OP, no doubt the magnaflow might perform better than flowmaster. I just dont want you to be disappointed after time, money, effort on just swapping a muffler and its quieter.

Thats true man. Im not tryin to get into a pissing match. Like i said magnaflow is a good catback. I didnt have any fitment, or quality issues. It just was kinda disappointing how quiet it is. Even after having it for almost 4 years i dont think it got broke in and got a bit louder like some people think.
If i ever got a catback again, i would definitely opt for hooker catback. Might be just as loud as magnaflow is at idle and cruise, but it has a more deeper, rumble, muscle sound to it.
