Completely different sounds! I prefer the Borla tone my self... but a lot more pricey.

Cams will sound better, but a blower outperforms them in every way.

The hell with sound, if your spending that kind of cash, you should be worrying about performance!

I personally HATE lumpy as hell cams with a passion. I have no respect for the sound. Even though it does pack power, I do not see a powerful engine sound from a engine that sounds like its making jiffy pop over a stove.. Mild cams sound good, but nothing big and lumpy. The Blower will help the idle a bit, and higher end RPM since you will be required to a re-tune with a raised WOT level, so that will sound good too, but not throughout the rpm band as the cam will change the sound completely. The blower makes a nice sound of its own so it will be kind of hard to tell if it changes the exhaust

i am concerned about power but want to do the exhaust right the first time. im unsure of which way i'll go. performance is a first but sound is always a must.

plus, is like bullets better for cams and maybe magnapacks better for blown? or vise versa? it's a hard decision.

i personally love the sound of a powerfull cam at idle and screaming at redline but i also love that blower wine. im leaning towards the blower mainly for driveability on low end and big top end potential. i figured the force from the blown motor might work differently with different mufflers. (forced induction needs more exhaust flow right?)

Doesn't matter, both mufflers are exactly the same inside, the Magnapack is just packed with tighter rockwool, and wrapped in t-409 stainless.

Any muffler will work with any engine setup, free flowing is the best to go for full performance advantage.

well i know any muffler will work but not any muffler will do. lol. i guess thats what i needed to know about both mufflers being close to the same and free flowing. so the magna pack is quieter?

Only at idle. And they aren't that quiet. The Bullet sounds straight piped past 4000rpm and has a choppy straight pipe idle but is deep toned throughout. The Magnapack sounds a little better, much more toned.
