Love my magnaflows....

I'm in Wantagh, originally from Astoria. I see you are from Rockaway, I worked in Far Rock for a few years.

I have Dynomax's on my 82 and am happy with the sound and performance. Nice roar when you get the RPM's up there, great growl when they are low.

I just found a testimonial from a famous racecar driver which will remain anonymous at his request.
And I QUOTE:
I have made more horsepower with Flowmasters than any other muffler on the market and set record after record with them breaking more than 10 records in speed with Flowmasters and every car I beat was running magnaslows which I have found to gain horse power when ran in the exhaust system backwards.
Flowmaster mufflers are even ran by other racers that are sponsored by magnaslow so they can win races and keep their magnaslow sponsorship.
In closing Flowmasters were even recommended to be ran on the space shuttle but was so free flowing that the shuttle couldn't break thru the earths atmosphere due to weak engine back pressure, so they are only ran on trains, airplanes and army tanks. : UNQUOTE

I wouldnt buy any of them... And I know Tim wouldnt..LOL

Where are you located. ? Manybe go to a local corvette club or event and go listen to what they have on there cars..... I also wouldnt buy from a site you cant return them..'Go to a muffler shop and look and touch all there mufflers and get a feel for them.. My local shop is very hands on and will put any muffler you want on your car to test out..
Ask around and find out what shop local to you they use and take a visit... You will get many suggestions on this site and the best way to find out what you want it to just go look at them....Good luck.....

The super turbos are a pretty nice cross between flow & sound reduction.

Clearly, TimH is a Flowmista bigot. Wikipedia should reference him with the definition of bigot.
