Default Magnaflow.....

I have been hearing alot of good things about magnaflow lately. I had decided to go with just a flowmaster muffler and not blow half my saving to spend on my car by buying gmmg(which sounds awsome)Can anyone compare the two....I wouldnt mind something being a little louder than flowmaster but dont want anything quieter. When crusing which one is louder and also how much do the tone sound alike?

I have the Magnaflow muffler on my car and my friend has the Flowmaster, I think his is a little louder than mine, but at WOT, I think mine sounds better (my opinion). It is pretty quiet on the interstate, but it really has gotten a little louder after having it on the car for a few months. I like it, and I have read several places that Magnaflow mufflers flow high numbers and Flowmasters don't flow that well at all. The Magnaflow is a very deep and clean sound, the Flowmaster sounds kind of hollow to me. Good luck choosing.

i have the magnaflow and personally I dont like its sound at idle or cruising around <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

It sounds good at WOT since it bascially has a straight through design(have a few pics in my pictorial page on my site)

but i thought this thing would be way louder than it is <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />

FYI, the car sounds much better though the cutout.. espically with the cam <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

i know that magnaflow has a muffler design called the magnapacks and right now ive only heard it on stangs and its pretty loud and has a nice crisp clean sound, pops and burbles too. I just hope they adopt that design to our cars

I have been trying to tell you for awhile now that for 850.00 I have my entire exhaust complete from headers to turndowns and it is one of the loudest best flowing setups there is. If you want to listen to it just let me know. My car should be back together by Saturday night. Getting 4.10's installed.

Redrum I'd like to check out your setup too, as I plan on going with something similar.

I was laid off back in October so obviously all plans are on indefinate hold, but LT's & true duals is what I want and I'll get around to it sooner or later.

The thing that I want though is when I am crusing around town when I am riding by everyone knows my exhaust isnt stock. And for it to have a real clean deep tone to it. I dont really care how loud it is when I nail it as long as it has NO rasp to it! Thanks for your help.

I don't know what else is on your car but, my car sounds like the world is coming to an end w/my Magnaflow set-up. LOUD, it scares children and small animals. At Start up you would not want to be in my garage. 0 rasp 0 drone. No flame intended but, if anybody tells you the LM doesn't do both they are lying or deaf. I had one and gave it away. Sorry. I like SLP products and it flows well but thats all I can say about that noise maker.
