magnaflow or flowmaster?

So I decided Im going do a few things to the blazer before starting on the mustang, first thing being the exhaust.

So Im going to call the shop at 8am and see if they can get me in today, if so Im going to be gettin a full exhaust, y pipe back anyways. Then hopefully in about 2 weeks I can get headers, and then start on the motor work (new vortec heads (with p&p work) and a nice cam (along with a few other goodies.)

The question is, should I go with flowmaster or magnaflow?

On my old s10 I had a dual in single out catalytic converter, with single in dual out flowmaster org 40 series with 3" tips, it sounded nice...

But

Im thinking about magnaflow too, Im not sure what series of magnaflow they offer but Im really considering them...

Its a 91 s10 blazer with a 4.3 in it.. I know, most dont like exhaust on v6s but like I said, the old s10 sounded nice (it was a built 4.3)...

for the money i think the Magnaflow is a better deal, plus most of the time with Flowmasters, you end up sounding a little too loud... My cusin has 2 super 40s on his Elcamino and its louder than balls!

I like Magnas, esp. on 6 bangers. The Dynomax Ultra Flows are great too, especially for the power they add.

Flows sound great, but they've become so common that it's nice to hear something a little different every once in a while. Plus, Flows tend to have more cabin resonance than the aforementioned, though the 3 chambers/delta flows aren't as bad as the originals.

I use dynomax mufflers myself but I'd suggest you speak with the muffler shop guys and see what they recommend and why.
they know their stuff since it's all they do all day long.

I had a 3 chamber flow om my s10, and was very happy with it. Nice and quiet when your just setting there, but sounds great once you get on it.
