In my opinion, You can't beat a flowmaster, period. They last a long time, way overbuilt. They also sound great! I would throw a pair of 40 series flowmasters back on it. If you are set on a change, look into a spintech muffler. The offroad guys love em. They are compact and small and very overbuilt as well. I am running 1 on my burban, its tucked up in the frame between the trans x member and the suspension x member, fits like a glove and sounds pretty good too.

I personally think magnaflows sound funny. I have never heard one that I liked more than a 40 series flowie.

Look into the Hooker Aerochamber. I think they sound better than the flows do. They don't get that tinny, pinging, resonance that the flowmaster does. They are a bit mellower as far as loudness goes, you can't hear 'em clear around the block, but they sound GREAT.

Yeah..................
My Dad wants to go old school, and make some mufflers out of 3" driveshafts.
Anyone done that on here???
I like Flowmasters....but there are not loud enough at idle. Anyone know how I can post a wav sound file on here?

I dont have a H or X Pipe on my 2 chamber Flows now, but I will put a X pipe on her. There are so many out there. Ex:

My motor is not built real wild, but she's pumping out 400 horses with a dual pattern cam. Wanna do more, but we will see. I'm going to add a Flame thrower kit and Exhaust electric cut outs too.
Wanna sound like this truck.......
