Default Muffler question???

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying some new mufflers for my car and the guy at the muffler shop I used suggested FlowSound. Does anyone know anything about them? I haven't heard of them but I listend to some that he had installed on a truck and they sounded good....kinda like FlowMasters without all the popping and crackling. I wanted to go with MagnaFlow but he can't get them so its either, FlowSound, Flowmaster, or Dynomax. So I'm trying to decide between the Dynomax and the FlowSound. What do you guys suggest? <Thanks, Paul

Why don't you just go and buy them yourself??? Then you can get whatever you want instead of 3 brands.

I could do that, but I was just curious to know if anyone else had used those FlowSounds.

I heard that flowsounds are flowmaster knockoffs. Because flowmaster lost the patent on the muffler design, like how they get their sound, so flowsounds just copied the design etc. I think that's why in flowmaster commercials say "Look for the stamp in the case" or whatever, I don't know how it goes exactly.

That's what I was told by a shop about Flow Pro as well, said they're pretty much identical to Flowmaster. That's all I know...
