Exhausted
Senior Member
based by my screen name here I would like to say throughout my car days I have been through many many exhaust systems, with my early Chevys Flowmaster, magnaflow, spintech, and my last Chevy I had a Dynomax catback.
on my TransAm I had Flowmaster, ******, Magnaflow, Dynomax (bullets) Corsa, GMMG.
one thing I have found that is when you are not pushing the limits of the Dia of the pipe size and the rescriction of the system itself then the muffler is a noise maker and not much more. now when adding it compared the the stock muffler there is some performance gain maybe 5-10 hp but from one performance muffler to the next the difference is minimal (from what I have seen on the dyno and track).
so for my DD truck i wanted to choose simply based on sound and to me Flowmaster has the best sound with catalytic coverters on.
with longtubes and no cats then its magnaflow all the way.
right off I will say that this is a quality peice, its made of 409 stainless steel with a hi-temp coating andOE type clamps. fit was perfect
as with the mufflex system the hardest part is getting the old muffler out, but a rubber mallet and liquid wrench made it pretty easy, took about 30-40 min total for install.
I will post up some pics and a video once I get home today. it was to windy for a video yesterday when I did the install.
