I had a long *** rant typed up to go here, but I'll just suffice to say that you're wrong. I've heard both and the local exhaust shop here that does literally hundreds of custom exhaust setups says the same thing, its all about picking the right TYPE of exhaust system for your car.

P.S. Flowmaster does make some cheap crap, but they also make some good exhaust systems. Magnaflow also makes some cheap crap, they just don't make as wide an array of it.

It's gonna be based on what you like the sound of, maybe you like the sound of the Cherry bomb/FlowMaster, maybe you hate them. Maybe you like MagnaFlow, maybe you don't.

I personally don't like Cherry bomb, But I wouldn't say it's not for you. I have flowMasters on my Truck (and Borla on my Mustang), 40 series to be exact, it sounds like a truck. I think that FM and MF are for trucks, no offence to anyone out there with these on your Stangs. I just think it's funny when you sound like a logging truck.

IMO I would just go for the cheaper one out of the two if what someone said is true (exactly the same product), but I would go with FM is they are not.

Straight pipes has that same effect, makes your car sound like a truck.
