Default spintech mufflers

ive heard guys saying these mufflers are no good.
why?

most good input people have about these mufflers is, that they sound great.

what positive or negative info do you have about these mufflers?

I have their catback on my camaro, sounds nice, might be switching to magnaflow just for sound or going true duals if i keep the car. I've been hearing their inexpensive and they outperform flowmaster, and almost as good as magnaflow and borla etc.

i went from an 80 series flowmaster to a flowtech afterburner and now i have a spintech sportsman.... i like it alot. it's fairly mellow at part throttle but it screams at WOT... its very throaty too... but from what i've heard it flows very well.... btw the 80 series flowmaster i had on there was horrible, there was a very noticable difference in power when i switched to the flowtech afterburner (which was very cheap and sounded pretty nice)

Update: I pitched that Spintech off of my car! I replaced it with a Magnaflow 122767 (Single 3" offset, dual 2.5" crossflow) which was pretty much a direct replacement. It is much deeper, less raspy, and a tad quieter at idle. A good quiet, though. I am in love.

Damn!....That's messed up! I didn't a "bag of ***" with my spintech muffler.
I guess they were out of stock of *** when I ordered mine.
Maybe that's why mine sounds good!.....LOL
