Magnaflow; I don't really like the way it sounds down low sometimes. (Probably due to the X-pipe) But I have never really herd it out side of the car either. But it sounds like nothing else at WOT. The sound it has at WOT is Beautiful...

I think both mufflers sound good on Stangs. Which Magnaflows do you guys like? Any interior resonance?

the ones i haved are the mufflers, not the packs. the packs are like a beefed up sounding version of the mufflers. thats the best thing, no interior resonance at all.

hmmm, yeah the magnapacks sound pretty loud and raspy, but the mufflers sound pretty nice, mellow. I'm just sick of the 40 series drone and am considering my options, right now im leanin towards the 50 series flows but the magnaflows are another option.

this was a good thread with sound clips of different exhaust, from JBA to SLP's

Damn those SLP's sound amazing... that's the way i'd go for sure.

They are on my 96 Cobra, so they sound different than on the 302. But here is a video I have.

ive had both and the magnas just sound better under throttle.
+1

I actually have the three chambered Magnaflows now (XL turbos). Quiet at idle and loud at WOT. I enjoy them a lot. I had 40 Series Flows, but with shorty headers and the Prochamber O/R pipe, I couldn't hear myself think.
