i think flowmasters sounds better then magnaflow at a idol but i run a slp lm1 and ory wich in my appapion sounds better then both, its a little raspy on a cold start but you should not be driving on WOT when its cold. over all i guess its what you like and prefer

stick with the stock exhaust and get a cutout, best of both worlds.

I like my Magnaflow during just cruising around you still get that low growl without that drone that Flowmaster does.

Flowmaster super 40's with headers and 2.5" pipe from the cat back. Gets compliments and sets off alarms. The mufflers alone will be enough to turn heads.

Thanks for the video i_ammetal. I think I'm going with super 44's on my wife's car. She loves the sound of Mustang GT's with off road exhaust, but needs a 4 door for a little while longer. Can't believe how fast that $1300 factory exhaust goes bad.

I have spintechs and I love the sound of it, kind of raspy yet little drone.
