dynomax vs flowmaster? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Adam12 · 11-04-2002, 04:02 PM

Im getting the exaust done soon on my truck and am calling around town for pricing. Dynomax is almost half the price of flowmaster but what do you guys think about it's proformance? I want somthing that sounds good, and I have dynomax headers so I kinda like to stick with the same brand anyway.

I have run dynomax superturbos on many vehicles, & like them......nice tone, but not too loud unless the throttle is opened up. You might consider the hemi superturbos for your BB.

I've got a dynomax cat back system on my 95 Yukon and it sounds very good. The engine is stock and I have people asking me what I've done to it. Wide open it sounds great.

I just purchased Dynomax UltraFlo's for the 454 I'm swapping in. Dynomax had a $20 off rebate going when I purchased them a month ago. Not sure if it is still in effect but you ought to check into that.

Presently I have Dynomax Turbos on my tired 307 - way to quiet but I think that is just the engine and 2" exhaust. Can't wait to hear the UltraFlo's.

I have flowmasters on my truck, I do like the sound, but I've heard that they don't flow the best (aka flowmiser or blowmaster). If I were to do it over (which maybe fairly soon) I'll probably get dynomax or hooker mufflers.

My neighbor just installed Dynomax Superturbos in series behind his new headers on his big block F@#D and you can't hear them at all. He thought because he used 3" pipe it might be too loud so he used 2 muffs end to end. What a waste in my opinion. I love the sound of my 40 series Flows and have had no probs at all.

I've got Dynomax Super Turbos and they sound awesome. Not too loud, but a nice deep tone.

I have a big rust hole in my muffler, so it's LOUD!!

COST? 0.00! Well, is cost is counted in time, it took a few years to get it to perfection....LMAO!!

Ive had a few cars with flowmasters and found them really annoying and tinny sounding. I'm running dynomax superturbos with 2 1/4" pipes now exiting out the side after the rear axle with what is probably the best exhaust job I have ever seen in one of our trucks. Its very quiet even with the headers and mild cam and runs great.

flowmasters aren't cheap. my terminators weren't too bad in price. dynomax has been having rebates lately
