magnaflow or flowmaster?

I'd go with the Magnaflow, everyone has flowmaster, I really like the dynomax ultraflows because they are cheap. I also like the sound of the Goerlick Xcelerator, think that is how it is spelled. Anyway good luck almost anything can sound better that stock, unless you get the angry bee exhaust.

I run 3" exhaust from the manifolds back. No mufflers and three cats. Out to a pair of Polished Stainless Steel 3.5" expansion chambers. Very low and very deep, but not very loud. funny.

yeah I'm not so concerned with the exhaust note myself. the dynomax super turbos I use are big (20") and the full exhaust from primaries back is 3". I use hooker super comp tuned headers, no cats, and an X pipe. The car purrs when it's under normal throttle/idle. It roars when it's at WOT. The super turbos are cool because they're straight through, low restriction mufflers. No real resistance to speak of so no loss in power by using them.

PS I moved this to here because it seemed more fitting, but I left the redirect so people know.

This is gonna sound terrible, but I'm from the old school of thinking...
If you want the V6 to sound really tough... Throw some twin 2.5" catback to Cherry Bomb mufflers and top it off with 3 or 3.5" diameter tips 12-18 inches long.
I did that on my old S-10 with a 2.8 V6 and nobody would believe me that I had the little six until I popped the hood... They all swore it was at least a 350.
Just my 2 cents

I'm oldschool. If you want your car to sound like a V8, stick a V8 in it.
*grin*

Yeah, its always going to sound like a 6er... Although my old s10 sounded almost like a v8 at an idle...

like stuffing a 426 hemi into an old A-body Dart.
bang out the fenders with a hammer, and cram it in.

I am wondering the same with my car. An older American 4 banger. I am wanting to avoid the ricer sound as much as possible which is why I refuse to have the coffee can look going on. But flowmaster or magnaflow? Like I said, a 4 banger, SOHC 2.3L

Shit, I just noticed that the explorer guy posted on as month old thread.
