Magnaflow...Flowmaster.....go to a car show and see if someone will fire up their car for you to hear and see what blows your skirt up. Asking about something audible on a forum is just too subject to weirdness. One man's rumble is another man's irritating resonance, etc.

I intend to go with these once I scrape up the cash for the mufflers and new headers

I've just recently upgraded to a custom 3" exhaust system with the Magnaflow 40's and am very pleased with the rumble. It's not blatantly loud like a hot rod but has a nice cool "GluuuuuummmmmmmmmpbgluuuuummmmmmmmmpbgG luuuuuumpbgluuuuuummmmmmmmmmpbg" sound.
It's still quiet enough at high way speeds to not notice but when I step on it, you really hear how good the engine sounds!

I hope that helps!

I've got flowmaster 50 series on mine and love the sound. Not too loud, but definitely a great sound when you get on it. Now, they hang down below the bumper cover which I don't like, but was told by my exhaust guy that they are too big to tuck up like factory muffler around the spare tire carrier. He did say 40's would tuck up there though.

The whole motor just seems to breathe better.
I hope that helps!

A 3" exhaust system will kill bottom and mid range torque with your engine. We know this.
Would ONLY be good for high rpm use in which case I would disconnect exhaust from headers anyway....

meantime i've bought everything necessary to build it and really do not know what to do..
