Ok I have kooks long tubes and carsound high flow cats welded into the stock catback. I recently put in a magnaflow muffler in place of the stock muffler and I think it sounds ok but I have been reading that a spintech muffler actually outflows the magnaflow. Is this true and if it is could this magnaflow be holding back any potential power (see sig) of my car?
What do the spintechs sound like compared to the magnaflow and would they even make something that I could directly replace the magnaflow with?
Thanks for the help!

I have TD with Spintech's on my 93 (different motor I know), and EVERYONE always tells me how good it sounds. I have listened to a few sound clips of LS1's with TD Magnaflow and I am going with the Spintech's again when I get my Kooks around X-mas. They do outflow Magnaflows and I think they sound badass! Hope this helps!

The amount of flow between the two would be minimal and not anything to experience a SOTP gain. The Magnaflow is a straight through design. Why not just install a cutout for when you want maximum power? Nothing outflows a cutout.

Everyone loves the sound of my Magnaflow as well. Never been sure about Spintechs, taking the exhaust and forcing it to go in tight circles before letting it go out, you might as well use crush bent pipes.
