is it really as bad of a combo as they say (sound-wise)? ive narrowed it down to the magnaflow or the flowmaster 40. it's not an f body installation so i've got plenty of room for the 40 series and true duals and ive got headers and a mild cam. So are the magnaflows that bad of a choice for a tpi, cuz i really like the sound of them on other cars ive heard and theres always the "I don't wanna sound like everyone else(flowmaster)" -factor. so.... flowmaster 40 or magnaflow??



p.s. I was looking at the catback exhaust sound clip/info page and the guy said that the magnaflow "undercuts tone". what exactly does undercut tone mean??

 

That's the first I've heard about Magnaflows being bad for TPI. Hope that's not true, as I have a LS1 catback on my GTA!

 

I've gone through three of four mufflers on my car before recently installing a magnaflow. I can now say I've finally found the sound I've been looking for...

 

I have a Magnaflow on mine that replaced a Flowmaster and I love the way it sounds. Much less of a "drone" on the highway. Another person I know just recently did the same switch and she loves the new sound better, too. Magnaflows sound great!

 

+1 for magnaflow. I have true duals on my IROC with 3" magnaflow mufflers and it sounds awesome. Its plenty quiet but still sounds good. I wont buy any other mufflers from now on. listen below

The guy I bought the GTA from, put this 4th gen Magnaflow cat-back system on. I prefer the Flowmaster 2 chamber sound, myself. I've thought of ditching this Magnaflow set up, but since it barely over a year old, I can't justify buying new exhaust.

 

ditto

give it a year to burn out and it will sound even better....

 

I have a Magnaflow Muffler, 3" catback, and a magnaflow hi flow cat on my car and it sounds great. It's got a pretty deep, and throaty tone. You can barely hear it when your in the car, but it sounds nice from outside. Very classly.
