The magnaflow is awesome Instant "a$$ dyno" results and the finish is great. It slid on the stock pipes without a problem and sounds better and better as it breaks in.

Bassani Only Way To Go
I noticed you couldn't find anything bad to say about magnaflow.

Magnaflow is the one to get!

Ron,

I love the look of a white L with a shaker.

I'm gonna have to get one. Look what you've done!

I love it. It really gives it a distinctive look.
Looks even better in person.
Go for it man! Be sure Paint & body shop does a prefit on truck
prior to paint, Just incase some fiberglass needs to be added front corners.

I have no affiliation with lightning force performance.

Last time I checked, they had the best price on magnaflow catbacks.

When I bought mine, another place was cheaper.

Magnaflow

If you want it for looks and sound it is great. Mine lost hp and torque on the dyno over stock. Skip

my '99 Lightning had a dynomax muffler already installed and it sounds great, real deep and mean under a little throttle and just roars at WOT, doesnt drone too bad either.

I have had both the Bassani and Magnaflow. They both have their strengths in my opinion. Love the pop and gurgle of the Bassani and I love the deep throaty rumble of the Magnaflow.

I changed the stakes when I went with the long tubes and high flow single cats. And now my L roars - it has taken some getting used to. If you want to avoid a blatanly loud system just go with a cat back set up.

Which ever one you choose they both make a great sound (speaking of the Bassani and Magnaflow).

Regarding install, the Bassani I did myself really easy and I had the Magnaflow professionally installed at REM.

D-Day

cat-back's

I guess it all depends on what you want, the L comes with a single muffler like the mag I wanted true dual mufflers like the bassani the other FACTS that I posted about the other products are true I have had no dealings with the mag setup that is why I did not list any good or bad feed back about that setup.
Dear MISTERgadget I hope the Quote on your post was NOT directed at me as only FACTS were posted and I know this ts not the place for insults that is why we have an Admin. Most of that kind of stuff has a way of backfiring.
