Your opinion?

I want a low, loud rumbling sound out of my exhaust. What are you guys' opinions for what brand to go for and stuff like that? What do you guys' have on your cars?
Thanks for your responses!

low, loud rumbling sound = Flowmaster
loud, burbly and ripping top end = Hooker, Magnaflow, Borla or any other straight through muffler.

I've had flowmasters on two differen't cars, and I didn't like either. They sound tinny. Magnaflow sounded better. Now Im using borla, and its really loud with headers. Sounds far better to my ears.

flowmasters only sound tinny when there in not the right amount of volume flowing through them for the pipes being used.
