Yeah, I do. But mine is also blown with dual 3 inch pipes. And its a lot louder outside than in. I can carry on conversations with my wife with no problem. Also, like I said; I think the magnaflows sound very raspy and don't have good tone to them. But thats a mustang 5.0 guy for you.

People can choose what they like, so what if he doesn't have one. I don't care for flowmaster and I don't have one. Now call me ****ish.

I got one better. ****HEAD I was saying that I wasn't being ****ish. If you'd let norm answer posts directed at norm, I wouldn't have to be ****ish to you!

I didn't get great mileage before, but I did notice a slight increase in MPG on a highway trip right after. I got 19MPG on a 360 mile trip. Drove 569 miles on one tank. Of course, this was long before I put the blower and injectors and all that other stuff I have on.

98navi, if you're not trying to be the word, then why even type it? Seems odd to me.

Norm could have experience with magnaflow without having one.

I have a magnaflow muffler and love it. I don't have a flowmaster, but I have experiences with that muffler. I have experience with ravin' and dynomax too. What's the difference? So what if it isn't on his, mine, or anyone elses?


Not calling you a hater but there's no need you being one.

+1 for magnaflow.

I have one, but it won't be installed until tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. My mustang had Original 40s and offroad H pipe. I miss it so...

i'm having a hard time deciding my exhaust too. i think im gonna get magnaflow just because i want dual out and it being stainless is a huge selling point to me. plus magnaflow has the exact sound that i want. just me though. i really hate the way some flowmasters sound.

Stealth, those that have been around know that Norm and I don't really get along on several topics, so I just wanted him to know I was curious at his decision without having one. Really, what I was looking for was himm to say if he had already had one or not. Being that we have disagreed on so many other topics, i wanted him to know that i was just wondering, not trying to be a **** and call him out

Also, I have used dynomax and Raptor mufflers (we've all been broke at some point) in the past, as well as one real chitty experience with magnaflow. I use magnaflow cats, but that all.

when you buy a cat back system you get the exhaust and all the pipes / clamps / hanger to hook it up

No problem Brett,
I am President of the NH chapter of FTW. I have lots of experience with both exhausts on many trucks. I prefer the sound of the Magnaflow over the more obnoxious sound of the flowmasters. Some people prefer the flowmasters, no problem there. It is all about what you like for your truck. I also know I will not lose low end tourque with the magnaflows like some have reported (and Troyer has tested) with the flowmasters.

A cat back exhaust is a complete system from the catalytic converter back to the tailpipe. It includes everything, pipes, mufflers, clamps, hangers etc. It does not include the cat.
