Re: Flowmaster vs Magnaflow

There's this kid in Taunton, a friend of my friend, who has 3.4 Firebird w/flowmasters on it. Doesn't sound all that good. But they do sound sexy on 305's!!!!!!!

Re: Flowmaster vs Magnaflow

Now this is a completely bizzare thread, one V8 owner says that Flowmaster sucks, and one V6 owner likes Flowmaster on a 6, it's usually the other way round.

I really don't know what to say to that.

I still think the Magnaflow has a better more refined sound than just about any exhaust system...including Dronemaster AKA Blowmaster.

All I can come up with are flow numbers for mufflers and systems. Flowmaster tends to be in the lower 15%. It will take me a while to find them as well. But I will if someone wants.

Re: Flowmaster vs Magnaflow

It is probably only a MAX of 5 HP.
To me...those 5 HP are worth it.

Plus...in my opinion...Magnaflow sounds cleaner than blowmasters.

Imports with crappy exhaust. Most Ricers.
To you, it might sound like crap. But after listening to that Magnaflow mufler sound like a card being hit by a bicycle tire...I'd stick with Flow on my 6.

Re: Flowmaster vs Magnaflow

you have a 3.4 or a 3.8? I could somewhat understand you if you have a 3.4, since the 60 degree V6's had a better exhaust tone than the 90 degrees...

Re: Flowmaster vs Magnaflow

very good point savage. I knew there was something different besides .4liter.

if you explain to me in a little more detail about how the degree of the motor efects the sound and flow that would be nice.

Re: Flowmaster vs Magnaflow

its just different heads, and intake manifold. Different motors will just have different sounds. Like the ls1 sounds different than a sbc. its just different
