magnaflow/flowmaster?

[RockinThatFiveOh]

got an o/r x pipe was guna go with magnaflow mufflers...but i dont know if i like the sound of the H pipe and flowmasters or x and magnaflow...according to a local mechanic at Xtreme preformance here in naples, the h and flowmasters would be louder but the x pipe and magnaflow will have a lil more power cuz they are straight thru mufflers...im torn..the thing is i wont b getting the H pipe till by brother gets his headers on and gets rid of his so i can use it and that cud b a couple weeks and they tell me the x pipe with flowmasters doesnt sound right

i used to have an o/r x with 2 chamber flowmasters.....i did not like the sound at all. sure it was loud, but sound just did not appeal to me. so i went the unconventional route and now have long tubes, catted h pipe, and magnaflow catback. i am pretty satisfied with the current sound. nice and deep and doesn't draw too much attention lol

here are some old clips of the exhaust:

thanx those clips were nice cuz im so picky lol i've been googling for clips of exhaust, unfortunatly the flowmasters are already on the way so w.e, i got access to a shop so i can always chop em out n swap er sumthin. im not much for attention either body and cosmectic wise id rather turn heads with an exhaust note

I've heard the magnaflow "magnapack" on some cars and I am really impressed. Thats going to be my next mod. They got some clips for a gt on magnaflow.com. They sound quieter on a Cobra for some reason.

I have magnaflows and they are quiet. I saw a chart comparing noise vs power and the magnaflows were up there in power but at the bottom in noise. And the flows were near the bottom when it came to power but the top with noise. So its whichever you want more, power or noise.

Heres the chart, I found it.
