Ok, Should I Continue with installing glass packs, or should i install a set of flowmasters instead? I just stuck a set on there earlier and boy did it sound good. What sounds better to you?

I really cant decide between glasspacks (already have) Or Flowmasters. I gonna keep the glasspacks and decide after teh headers are on.

I'm not casting a vote until Dynomax is a choice!

As for Ravins... They're Midas Mufflers' version of a free-flowing muffler (competing with Flowmaster and the like). I called my local Midas a year or two ago and asked if Ravins had any interior drone. The salesman on the other end told me to stay away from Ravins unless I wanted the loudest car on the street. I said I wanted a healthy muscle car rumble, and he told me I'd better keep looking. 'Nuff for me...

The Dynomax Super Turbos I've heard at shows and cruise nights have the sound I want. A deep whisper at idle, but a crisp bark at acceleration. I believe it was Mustang Monthly that did a comparison a few years ago and found that Dynomax flows twice as well as Flowmaster. Don't remember where the Ravins fell, but I don't believe they were they as highly rated as Dynomax.

I've heard that clip already. I put on the flows today, or half a side anyway. Just drove it up the street. That sucker is loud. It was just a loud drone the whole way. Im putting turn downs right before the axle.

There are other muffler options that make as much or more HP as Flowmasters, but at half the cost. I would still go with Flowmasters given that was the only option you provided in the poll.

Bassani is coming out with a new system for 64 - 70 289/302. It includes headers/x-pipe/mufflers.

I'll post some pics when I get the prototype
