flowmaster to magnaflow hey guys, does anyone know the part number of the muffler in the ls1 magnaflow catback, and if it could be directly swapped into an already installed flowmaster catback? I bought my car with the flowmaster, but would like to change the sound and I am hoping this would be an easy switch. Thanks.

So you know, there are 2 part numbers. One is for the high polish version, one has like a brushed finish. Brushed finish runs $105 from Summit, polish runs around $150.

Running TSP Duals now and magnaflow isnt even in the same sentance. My car now sounds mean, and i love the sound. Its alot louder and meaner, and muscle sounding. Not so much with Wacknaflow.

HAHAH..not really man. I just got rid of my magnaflow for TSP Duals dumped. It ***** on magnaflow all day long. Magnaflow is only popular because its not very loud and its tame, but the fact is its quiet as ****. I have a 230 cam, longtubes, ory, and it was too quiet. My next door neighbors 97 dodge ram sounds meaner than mine did.

I think it's rather funny when people say the magnaflow is quiet, I find it just the opposite. Then again a lot of people prefer loud annoying exhaust systems.

Its pretty bad when you have a cammed car, and live in a quiet housing area and your wife says i didnt hear your car..

I guess its all preference. But yeah magnaflow is quiet. Just look at the last few threads, half the people are disappointed with how quiet it is or the tips. Tips didnt bother me at all, but the quietness did.

I'd rather not have a really loud sounding car anyways. Draws too much attention to the cops, plus emissions testing here can be a bitch when it comes to sound. I will leave the loud exhaust sound to the high school kids driving the Honda's.

No need for me to read up on Magnaflow systems or threads. Well aware of what they sound and perform like. I'm not running their tips either.

pretty much why I went with a magnaflow cat back. It sounds good between 4k and redline. Although, I hate the tips and the fitment sucks !!

I ended up switching from a catback to a duals because 1) i wanted something louder, and 2) I run a reverse split cam. I did notice a huge throttle difference for sure over magnaflow.
Guys, magnaflow is a great catback no doubt. I was just disappointed in how loud it was. I wish it was a bit louder. Thats all. To have a cammed car and barely even notice your cam lope definitely was disappointing.
To be honest, LM1 is alot louder than Duals dumped at crusing speeds IMO. Duals is actually tame.
I have ran LM1, Flowmaster, Dynomouth, Magnaflow, and now duals. LM1 is the loudest out of all of them. I wanted something at crusing speeds, and at idle to be alot louder than magnaflow but not crazy like LM1. Duals definitely is the ticket.

Thats your preference man. I ran magnaflow and was disappointed with it. Great catback because its stainless steel and priced well. But the fact is that its barely even louder than stock. That is why everybody says magnaflow is quiet and loud at WOT... every catback will scream at WOT..

+3 for the maggie. Don't let others fool you to believing they are REALLY REALLY quiet. They have some sound to them. Ultimately depends too on your current mods. Ditch that flowmaster.
