Magniflows are quality and more expensive because of the stainless steel they use.
Flowmasters aren't very good quality and IMO every other ford truck or stang has flowmasters welded in their exhaust...

I don't know much about Flow Masters. I bought my car w/ MagnaFlow catbacks. The only thing that bothers me about them is they sound like Euro exhaust. That might have something to do w/ my lack of an o/r midpipe. But from inside the car it sounds Euro.

im running flowmaster 10's which i havent run into in this forum. they are single chamber and with an aftermarket h piple, it sounds deep and throaty, little raspy near readline, but i dont think the guy im passing is worried about my exhaust. the only thing about 30's is they are about 1/3 the size of the stock, so ur going to need to cut extra pipe to make it work.. personally, i probably saved 10-20 pounds and have an awesome sounding exhaust.

I have Magnaflow and love it. Different sound than FlowBastards. Plus mine don't drone at all and SCREAM when I nail it.

Flowmasters are only going to last you maybe 2 years and they sound like everything else on the road.

typical nonsense.... I dont know where you guy get this stuff, I have LTs, o/h and 40 flows - I have the best sounding mustang (N/a) that I have ever heard, and everyone next to it agrees (its also dumped). And no my 40's arnt spitting rust - and actually the chambered muff is a good thing with o/r midpipes, but its not like the muffleres cost that much hp anyway. Magnas sound like a wet fart to me, my friend has them... I hate them . But its a matter of opinion... all i can say is - for example if everybody dated a hot chick with big knockers, would you date a fat chick to be different? Sometimes everybody does something because its better... or maybe theyre all stupid I dunno
