Default DOWN TO IT!!! MAGNAFLOW OR JBA???

I'm going to get either the Magnaflow or JBA cat back dual with the Y-pipe, but im not sure which one i like more. If anyone has heard both in person, please let me know which you liked better!!!

I want the deep throaty sound, but without the "rasp" that sometimes goes with attempting to achieve it. I've heard sound clips of both, but its hard to tell. Which one is deeper and most clean???

I have heard both in person, you can't go wrong with either one. Here is a link to mine:

I think it is the stage two link on my web site. Should be a video file on there.

I like the Magnaflow's sound better, although the JBA sounds good too. The big thing is that the Magnaflow is stainless steel throughout.

Thats true, JBA's only have a 2 year warrenty because they are not SS. I hear they are working on a SS system though.

I liked my Magnflow until I put the MRT on... MRT outperformed my Magnflow and sounded a LOT deeper... You can down load video and dyno sheets on my website: http://www.tammyandjohn.com/Mustang/...ng.htm#muffler

Thanks guys. I watched all yall's clips a few days ago. I like how they all sound, but its so hard to tell on computer speakers vs. what they sound like in person. I love that MRT muffler, but i want the duals so i dont know how that would work out. I just cant make a call based on these dad-gum comp. speakers. I've even tried listening to the same clips on different speakers and they each sound different with diff. speakers!!! [sm=headbang.gif]

So here's the question: "In your personal opinion, which exhaust do you order?" [sm=thanx.gif]

Magnaflow, hands down. That's what I'm getting next. I have the magnaflow single now. I get lots of compliments on the single.

hey jimp... I had the same Magaflow as you... I can honestly say this MRT/Aero-Turbine blows that Magnflow out of the water! Better performance, better sound and cheaper! LOL!

Now if you do want to go to duals then I'm not sure... Don't know how the MRT would work as a dual on our car..... I was ready to move to the duals in order to get a better sound... but now I don't need to... and now I can spend money $$$ on my next secret project! LOL!

haha......ok dr. evil......... yeah i def. like the sound of that MRT, but i'm a sucker for the symmetry of dual exhaust haha. I just want that rear end muscle that we all crave! And it looks like most prefer the magnaflow over the JBA, so........

What about Flowmaster? (without having to put on true duals)
