Hey people!!! Thinking about putting new exhaust on my F-150 with the 5.4. Which sounds better and performs better: Flowmaster or Magnaflow? Thanks for you time.

Flowmaster sounds better. Opinions are like aholes, everybody has them

You're gonna get a lot of opinions. Go and listen to some trucks that have them both installed.

Which flowmaster did you have on? I have been running the original 40's on my last two trucks and I find them loud enough,even at low rpm.

i have heard the sound clips for magnaflow and either i dont have quality speakers or the sound clip is worth a d@#$. a guy i work with has duals with 18" tips and it sounds way to loud for me. it crackels way to much when you barely get on it. but maybe with a coulple of mufflers it wouldnt be so bad???

FLowmaster duals, get different tips for different sounds. I have 3 1/2 inch tips on mine has a throaty sound. Sounds better than a rumble bee. Really loud when u open the three valves up.
