Flowmasters drones too much and is too loud with headers. However it doesnt have the machine gun/ glasspack sound that straight through mufflers have in a y pipe setup.

I really like my flowtech muffler. Sounds a lot like a flomaster but doesn't drone as bad. I'm installing headers in a few weeks though so I'll see how it sounds after that.

I personally think magnaflow is the perfect exhaust. I love the one on mine. I have lt's, ory, to magnaflow. It is kinda mellow at idle but not dead quiet like some people think, you can tell it has exhaust. Driving around though its pretty loud and has amazing sound quality to me.
Flowmaster does sound good but I don't like the style of the sound it produces. I'd rather have the magnaflow.

Keep in mind that my current MF exhaust is not a cat back at all. Custom 4" y-pipe, race muffler, dumped before the third member. It is loud as hell.

I have seen magnaflows on a V6 Fcar, seemed like a nice exhaust system.
I have long tubes no cats and a Loud mouth 1 the one that has no muffler. It is really loud out the back of the car but its not to bad inside. Doesn't sound bad for a bolt on car but I bet it would sound much better with a nice lumpy cam.
