well magnaflows do have better flowing rate but they sound like ***. you will hate the full system of magnaflows over flows dump'd. youll gain more low to mid power with the full system. enough where you will feel it again. your peak numbers may not change but your dyno sheet will show better in the low to mid range. this is where most ppl drive anyways
There's a difference between MagnaPACKS and MagnaFLOWS
and Packs are deeper then 2chamber flows.
Made the switch and was the FIRST thing I noticed.

Dunno much about magnaflows, but Packs are just Music to the ears.
Sound 10x better than flows...
And perform better too.
Won't notice much on a near stockish car tho, prolly won't notice anything.
But they do sound HORRIBLY badass...
Highly suggest you find a car with LT's+Packs at your local track.
You'll switch

loud doesnt alway mean fast. there is the dude up ther that heard my buddy's 85 monte ss with a 396 BBC. now it had 2.5 flow master dumps. he said it sounded liek a 12 sec. car. I just laughed. one you cant tell by the exhaust the speed of a car. this guy had no clue what he was talking about but sure does think he knows. this monte only ran a mid 14. to sum it up be afraid of the quiet rides. they bite the worse
