*sigh*. That is going to come down to preference. I don't know much about the Mac mufflers, but the Magnaflows are very nice. Personally, I feel a glasspack muffler (IE Magnaflow, Borla) sounds much better than a chambered muffler (Flowmaster) on a S197 Mustang.

I have had the Manaflow 40s, the Magnapacks, and the MAC a/b, and after all that, I would say that I like the MAC's the most, but not with an o/r x pipe. They sound just plain mean with an o/r h pipe and are probably the best sounding mufflers at idle and there aren't many people who can argue that

+1 for Mac. The Mac mufflers have a rich deep muscle car sound and and are awesome at WOT.

I am thinking of purchasing the Boom Tubes. Does anyone have these installed and if so, how much louder than stock ? Also, do they fit properly, thus an easy install?

TIA

The boom tubes (you thread jacker- lol) are about 4x louder than stock GT mufflers under WOT. Once you're cruising, the sound is about 2x louder at 65-70 mph. Obviously, the amount of noise is proportional to how much throttle you're using.

Borla Stingers 'S Type Aggressive' sound awesome and look great, plus they fit perfect and are easy to install

Corsa Extremes - despite their unjustifiable price tag.

Get Bassani street mufflers.

Do NOT get a glasspack muffler. They sound buzzy like a ricer.

I like the Magnaflow, not the MagnaPak though resonates too much
