My '04 still has the OEM muffler. Am in the market to change the sound for the better, but with all the different brands I am stymied on which one to buy. I would like to keep the interior as quiet as possible, so delta 4 Flowmasters are probable out. Help me out guys, you haven't let me down so far. help:

Bassani

 

look at a Flowmaster 50 series. Still has that Flowmaster sound, but has less interior resonance. but be warned, flowmaster muffs dont flow as well as magnaflow or bassani's. i say get whatever sounds best to you. good luck.

 

If all you intend to change are the mufflers...

1) Magnaflow Magnapacks (JDM's Silver Bullet catback)

2) Bassani catback.

3) I wouldn't put Flowmasters on a junker.

 

For my .02 I would certainly use the MAC cat back for Lightnings. I myself have the system on my L and I think it sounds much better and more civilized than the other mufflers. the price is also very reasonable compared to the others.

 

+1 on the Bassani! Just installed their catback on Sat. LOVE IT

 

I have magnaflows on mine and love them. They are a little loud though. I love the sound of Spintech too but not sure how they sound on a Lightning because they aren't well know to Lightning owners.

 

JDM Silverbullet (dual magnaflow) on the L and love it.
DI/DO magnaflow on the SVT powered Screw, love it too.

Flowmaster sucks, My vote is Magnaflow.

 

i bought my truck used and it came with two 2 chamber flowmasters welded onto the stock pipes. it sounded okay at idle and low rpm. Then i switched over to a magnaflow catback (dual in/dual out) and it was okay. nice and deep but i hated it at wot. the silverbullet setup sounds better imo. I am now running a bassani catback and i could not be happier. the bassani is worth every penny as soon as you hear it. combined with LTs or high flow cats

 

Thanks guys, Have a friend who runs a muffler shop. That's the easy part, now will it be Magnaflow, or Bassani........................I'll let ya know.

 

i too really like the mac catback

but if your choosing between magnaflow or bassani i vote bassani

 

IMO Bassani has the best sound, hands down, followed by JDM's silver bullet, with that said I have a single muffler Magnaflow catback with high flows and long tubes and it sounds great.

 

Magnaflow 4 inch Diesel muffler. It matches my 4 inch down pipe

 

I have had the JDM Silverbullet,dynomax,flowmaster,magnaflow,bassani, . I have now settled with bassani. I have since sold my duel in duel out magnaflow catback and got a bassani on the way with a set of Long tubes.

Mac,borla and flowmaster kits just don't sound that great to me.

 

JDM silver bullet FTW
