this seems to be a magnaflow oriented forum?

i have a mangnaflow muffler, ypipe, and tips on my v8 and when i turn it on it sounds like someone woke up a dragon. its very deep and smooth. no popping or "farting" noises what-so-ever....unlike flowmasters. to be honest, id rather have whoopicusions as exhaust than flowmaster.
videos do no justice and are NOT a sufficient way to judge the sound of a setup and definitly not a good way to say that one brand is better than another.

The Bullet is wrapped and ran with perforated tubing. It is an "advanced glasspack' you could say. See my sig.

ive watched and commented on that thread that you posted you exhaust on. i'm pretty sure you still have everything from factory before the muffler? its not gonna be as aggressive as straight header to pipe out the back like mine. ive heard flowmasters and straight throughs on old v8s like mine in person with headers, pipe, and mufflers and no more. flowmaster sounds better. i stated somewhere in one of these threads that straight throughs like magnaflow dont sound all that great on a stock engine from years ago like my 390, unless it is built up and revs out the ***

I'm with hardrock, I installed my old Magnaflow on a 351 and it didn't sound as good as it did on the 5four. Also k41964 mentioned cherry bombs. With headers they sounded great on just about anything way back when.

To each their own.
I want mufflers to sound good while at idle and part throttle, WOT I just want free breathing.
Nothing sounds better than open headers at WOT, but who could live with the racket driving down the freeway, not me.
