how does that compare to glasspacks/other resonators

100+ dollars seems like alot for just a muffler.

borla is top notch, and good warranty.

magnaflow is $90 per muffler but itll be somewhat lower tone than borla.

i have the purple hornies bolted right up to my headers... loud and deep... it crackles alot on the down rev... because its so open... but im putting the Mufflex system on this week... the thing about open exhaust is that it doesnt sound like an Fbody anymore... it just sounds like an open motor... i miss that catback rumble.. thats why im going back... but the hornies do have a good but loud sound... they arent raspy either... just crackle like thunder when the engine is down reving...
