so next month i get a job and i want a better sound so wich one is the best for sound? magnaflow dynomax or flowmaster?

It depends on the sound you want. I have flowmaster, and if I was to do it again, I would probably go with magnaflow. But, everyone has their own opinions.

I happen to like the way your car sounds, John.

However, Hooker Aerochambers are another good pick.

i bought a Dynomax catback...
over stock, i was really happy with it, but i couldnt get the muffler to fit right... because one of the bends wasnt right...

so i had a friend weld a flowmaster 80 to it... looks great, much more muscle-ie sound, as the dynomax was pretty raspy.
if your gonna by a catback, don't get dynomax, very poor quality.

If you are solely interested in making a lot of noise and annoying everyone, the Flowmaster will do it for you. If your interested in a muffler that actually flows well, and doesn't give you a headache while driving around, look elsewhere.

I was so impressed with Ian's sound that I bought a Magnaflow catback... that I never did install. Rolling Eyes

No it's going on my car eventually. If I ever get around to doing it I'd sell you the old catback for a few bucks. It's 3" in decent shape with a umm... "box". Very Happy

No, I think you misunderstand what I mean by "box". Some previous owner was a moron who owned a wire-feed and thought he had some good ideas about exhaust work. Rolling Eyes

Magnaflow and the Hooker Aerochamber will flow identical. The Hooker will be a touch louder and have a more agressive deep sound. the Magnaflow will be quiet.

I went with what Kitsap Muffler installed for me. I think Pro Flo is the brand. Sounds OK to me, loud when I get on it, a little raspy when I let of and a good tone when cruising.

Pro Flo was the main one to take over flowmaster copies once their patent expired.

I say magnaflow for quality. You'll get over the "super loud hear me coming pull me over please" phase in time.... Very Happy

I had a flowmaster on the LT1 and a Magnaflow on teh V6. Overall I'm not impressed with the sound of the magnaflow. It sounds raspy and VERY similar to a cherry bomb. The V6 has 2.5" pipe, maybe thats the problem. Rolling Eyes

A v6, that might be your issue.
