magnaflow
I am putting on Dynamax headers and new mufflers on my '69. Which are better, magnaflows or dynamax? Are there different series of magnaflows? I want a nice rumble, but not so loud I can't talk above. I still have the stock mufflers on, but they are just too quiet. Thanks for the help.

I've heard good things about both...
I have heard positive comments for both.
I recently put on a set of Magnas..... and at first I was a little disappointed that they were not louder. (I had removed an old, rusted set that turned out to be Flowmasters).
After a few cruises... I realized that I could hear my upgraded CD player very clearly, could have a conversation, and when I put my foot down on the pedal the sound was definitely aggressive and loud.
So, I would say they are subdued when you want/need them to be... and loud when you want them to be. No drone and no farting noises, no pissing off the neighbors (unless you want to)

Ron, if you already made up your mind cool. but if you didn't I have tuned headers & true dual 2.5 exhaust w/dynamax turbo mufflers. I think it sounds great not too loud but you can hear me coming and going. A few members told me the same it sounds great coming down the road.

I have one of the original proto type sets. for the c 3 and I am very happy with what I have. at low speed thay are load enough that most people can here you coming, But at high speed I can listen to the radio and talk to the passenger. And the hp went up about 15 hp As far as my vote there is no better....

I have the Dynomax Super Turbos on an otherwise stock BBC exhaust system and they have a nice low growl to them. Sometimes I complain to my other Corvette friends that I don't think they are loud enough but they tell me they can hear me coming from a couple of blocks away.I hear them best when I take out the back window. Then I really get the full effect.
Sounds fantastic.
