Default BB vs GHL vs MagnaFlow
What are your thoughts on:
BB Rt 66 vs GHL vs MagnaFlow in terms of performance and sound comparisons? I want a deep muscle car sound without being too obnoxious. Thanks.

Had the Magnaflow muffers & Dynatech headers installed this past weekend. Sound is good, not to loud & not to quite. You can hear the exhaust at idle & low speeds. I'm still waiting for the computer to "adjust" to this exhaust & the new Blackwing before I really rev it.

I've had the GHL's on my '04 C5 for almost a year now, they sound just
like their ad: 60's V8 muscle sound, plus the quality and fit are first class. I constantly get comments on how good they sound. Look into them, I think that you'll like them...
