Major loud a$$ drone, great sounding but you gotta pop a BC powder before you take any kinda road trip. Too bad the performance isn't as good as the sound, they don't add much hp compared to other companies.

yeah i know that magnaflow and borla are good companies, but i am not able to spend $400-600 on an exhaust system. is there really THAT much difference btw flowmaster and magnaflow/borla? more power gain? or just better sounding?

Huge different between Flowmaster and Magnaflow/Borla.</P>


From the crap I've researched Magnaflow adds 5+ more hp than Flowmaster on a NA motor, and nearly 20hp in a SC motor. Magnaflow systems are designed perfectly and they are very nice looking systems, Borla's numbers are close with Magnaflow and their quality on F-Body mufflers is the best system, so I can imagine their quality should be great too.</P>

one word....SLOWmaster</P>


Magnaflow is better. Bassani is better, but expensive. If you want loud go with the new Magnaflow magnapack system it's f'n loud with an x-pipe and headers!</P>
