I went to a local auto parts store today and was very suprised
A buddie of mine works there and i needed some oil for a change so i stopped by. He goes u should really talk to my manager and mustangs and so the manager comes over and we start to chat. I asked if he could get me a deal on an exhaust system for a GT (because im looking at gettin one) and he asked from what manfacuter. I reply SLP or Borla and he comes back with only use MagnaFlow or Flowmaster becasue they will yeild the highest performace outa the 281. He said that the SLP is very biast towards Chevy along with Borla. He said as far as quality goes that SLP sucks for the mustang. Anybody think this guy is wrong or no?

Well I have SLP Loudmouth 1s(just the mufflers) and the quality seems good to me. From what I've heard SLP is a higher quality brand than Flowmaster. I do believe that SLP is more F-Body orientated but I'm not sure....

SLP moved to the Mustang since the F-body went away.
Flowmaster is not real high on the improves performance list. He said maggot flow and flowstopper just because those are the brands he sells. I have a maggot flow system on my Explorer. Nice and quiet....but I doubt it's a real good flowing brand in the lower price ranges.

Magnaflows are straight through mufflers, I don't see how they could be anything but one of the best flowing mufflers on the market, right with SLP & other open designs.
IMO, many of the Mustang fans were a little offended that SLP only gavea crap about them after GM stopped making the F-body. There has never been quality issues with SLP & Mustangs. I remember when they started offering cat-backs and people here bitched about them only coming to Ford because of the F-body ending production. Typical fan-boy stuff, obviously this manager is blinded by the Oval.
