Re: Flowmaster VS Magnaflow

I like Flowmasters better. I have them on my truck, and a friend of mine has Magnoflows on his truck, and they sound similar, but mine has a more deeper mellow sound.

For an extended cab, I would say the Magnaflows. The interior resonance of the flowmasters drove me absolutely crazy (I understand it is much better for the standard cab trucks though). I took off the flows and was happier with the Magnaflows.

BTW, I run a 93 Cobra with H-pipe and flowmasters so it isn't that I don't like loud vehicles....I just hate droning inside the cab!

I have a reg cab/short box, so would the flowmaster be better for me? i like loud, but not annoying droning inside.
