I want a loud exhaust system that turns people's heads. I know a lot of people hate loud truck exhaust but I really want my truck loud and that is how it is! My question is what is better muffler for loudness and all around exhaust when it comes to Magnaflow and Flowmaster? I have heard so many good things about either or, that it makes for such a tough decision.

Answer:

Welcome to the site and thanks for sending in the great question. This one is a very popular question all over the internet, but we can touch base on it a bit for ya.

Magnaflow mufflers are more of the quite grumble of exhaust. With some of these mufflers, we need to make sure to watch our backpressure levels.

Because depending on what motor a person has, certain mufflers will give the motor no backpressure. And no exhaust backpressure on certain motors is a very bad thing for gas mileage and not to mention performance.

But yes the Magnaflow has more of low grumble versus the flowmaster. A flowmaster muffler is just going to be designed to be more of a crackle and having it be a lot louder. So in your case your going to probably want to go with the Flowmaster.

Like I said before though, your going ton want to try to figure out how much backpressure is good for your motor. Maybe do a little research on some online forums, or go to your haynes manual and check it out. It kind of sucks for a person to go have everything welded up exhaust nice to later find out that all that money was wasted because you have to now switch it because the gas mileage is killing your wallet. I see it all the time.

If your not going to do your homework with truck exhaust, you might as well just straight pipe it and throw your cash bills right out of the window as you drive so someone like me can come pick it up right behind you. I'm joking of course, but I hope my point was stressed. Thanks for visiting the site again!
