Which mufflers?
I am trying to decide between Hooker Maxflow or AeroChambers or Pypes Race Pros. I know the Hookers flow better but I can get polished stainless Pypes for slightly more. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Jeff |

Re: Which mufflers?
anything but the garbagecan sound of blowmasters
generally i think most higherend mufflers are pretty much a waste of money

Re: Which mufflers?
MagnaFlow Mufflers are the best in my opinion.

Re: Which mufflers?
Best advice is go with best/preferred sound, price and quality. Advertised flow numbers and horsepower gain, if believable, among brands really won't be felt in the seat of the pants. So unless you are building a full-on race machine they are likely irrelevant.

LMAO!!! Blowmasters.  Around these parts we call them FlowCrappers.JEFF, I'm using the Hooker Aerochambers and dollar for dollar THE BEST sounding and Best FLOWING muffler on the market today. Worth every dime. Solid Construction and a sound that makes heads turn. Everyone knows what a Flow.....uh, I mean, a Blowmaster sounds like, it sounds like everyone else.

Re: Which mufflers?
I have been looking up different sound clips from each manufacture and also youtube does help some. Its hard for anyone to tell you what would be good for your ears and taste on your own ride. also whats good for your pocket. but I prefer magnaflow but I may try something like dynomax race bullets this time around.

Re: Which mufflers?
I love flowmasters too, it is a classic sound but i personally think Spintechs sound the best. I'm using them on my truck.

Re: Which mufflers?
I have a set of Flowmaster's Super 44 Mufflers on my short bed and I love the sound. It's full 3" with big old tips just under the steps. Love the sound of them but I have only had them on for about 2 months.

Re: Which mufflers?
I think the glass packs have a very classic tone and resonance. I had flow masters and they rattled too much, and the resonance in the cab was annoying on a long trip. I used a Patriot glass pack and have been happy with the sound and performance.
