Thanks for all the input on the magnaflows.I guess what i really need to know is do the magnaflows sound like the flowmasters (original 40's)?
I had them on my vette for a week and sold them and put my stock ones back on.At about 1500-2000 rpm i couldn't stand the sound.I just need to know if the magnaflows have that same blatty sound.
thanx wade

You will be very happy with a set of Magnas. They have a much deeper, richer, throaty sound that the Flow Masters just don't. Perfect for a Vette.

I get lots of compliments on the sound of my car both at idle and when revving down the drag strip with Magnaflows flowing through 2 1/2 duals with a cross-over. No annoying noise when cruising in the city, and the wind noise is worse at highway speeds.

I have one car with stock OEM mufflers; the other car with Magnaflows. I like the deep sound of the Magnaflows better. Had several positve comments on magnaflows, but none on my OEM factory mufflers.
