Default Magnaflow VS. Dynomax Mufflers: Any flow difference?

I've seen the flow numbers for the Dynomax mufflers and they flow very well. I have not seen any flow numbers dealing with the Magnaflow mufflers.

My question is: With the same size and design (ie, center in, center out), would there be any difference in flow? I believe the only difference is the Dynomax have fiberglass inside whereas the Magnaflows have some sort of a ceramic material.

Also, I would be curious as to the sound differences between the two from someone who has had both.

I do appreciate the numbers Dynomax offers up and like the muffler, but Magnaflow does offer their stainless in the physicial size I would like to purchase. So, it's either the Dynomax welded, or the Magnaflow stainless for my application.

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards,

Bryan

Magnaflow uses rock wool (some kind of lava rock product)which supposedly won't burn or blow out. They sound and flow about the same.
