MagnaFlow vs. Flowmaster

[panda24619]

i like my bullet. not to many people have them and theres a nice loud sound with out a tip and no drone. there is if im crusin at 1800 rpm and theres traffic. but my truck will down shift if its like that anyways. i want to stright pipe it though. haha

how does the ****** maxflow have both the highest cfm and the lowest db? That doesn't make sense.

I have the bullet too. When I had the magnaflow high flow cats installed it made a HUGE difference.

just installed new cats (holy $$$$$) and a flowmaster 40 on my 06 expy

went with 3" muffler

sounds great. not too loud and doesn't drone all that bad, however I did notice that I lost some bottom end power.But I also had a magna flow on my 06 silverado and it lacked bottom end too after putting it on. The flowmaster I find sounds better tho

I went with magnaflow. I am very happy with it. I wanted something that was not stock but that was not obnoxious either. It really is a matter of personal preference but best thing is to just find youtube videos. You will never know until you hear it in person, but I think magnaflow is the way to go for a tasteful upgrade...if you want the attention in general I would say flowmaster. They do have different series' but that is just a general break down.

Nobody else thinks this is strange? I've always wanted more power, but not more noise.

Whats the big difference between the two is flowmaster mufflers better than magnaflow??

I see alot of people running both so what is their hype?

I am debating the following outcomes:

For me, flow master is good but they say that magnaflow is better.. Not sure with the others.. Maybe it is the everyone's taste..

do you have a dynomax bullet or bullet performance? cause there is a difference. i want to get the high flows. they are cali legal right?

I have the dynomax bullet. Don't know if they're cali legal or not, why would it matter anyway.

 

[panda24619]

yeah thats different. haha http://www.bulletperformance.com/um_rnd_6.htm
this what i got. i used to have the dynomax super turbo then the baffling went out. and got that muffler the same time i got new exhaust manifolds. and cause cali is STUPID with its emissions laws. cant have this cant have that... blah blah blah!!! what ever. haha

I have been switching in magnaflow today. It was advice by my friend who also switched in the magnaflow. I'll get you an update pics..

I was going to ask about the Gibson systems. My dad had a Gibson single swept-side system on his '96 Bronco which sounded nice (he hated it). How does the sound of the Gibson compare to the Magnaflow & Flowmaster systems? I can get either of the 3 systems through my work, but wanted opinions. Not looking to be loud, but want the engine to breathe and sound healthy.

All the Gibson's I have heard have been a little more mellow than a Flowmaster, and sound very similar to a Magnaflow.

Here is a link to a retard revving the hell out of his Expy in his garage with kids running around.
