Flowmaster vs. Magnaflow for Rumble?
#31
Two hours later we were still trying to get the bolts off between the cat and the resonator. We tried everything. Either we don't have enough muscle or we don't have the right size ratchet, but we nearly rounded out the bolt.
Any suggestions for a stubborn bolt? This one is ON THERE. I know a mechanic or two, I'm calling around today to see if any of them can lift it real quick and loosen that bolt for me with an impact wrench or something.

i was late to this and when i tried to warn you my post didnt work for some reason. the magnaflow was what i felt was a huge waste of money. i wish i never bought it. i couldve just had a 2.5" y made and straight piped it, but instead i listened to people that swore it was awesome. a week after i bought it i removed the mufflers and had straight pipes made for it from the magnaflow y it sounds way better. i have a video posted of it on here. be warned though if you keep dod it sounds horrible when it engages.

you could get a catless hogan down pipe. bolts in so you can put the old down pipe in for inspection. should pump the volume up a bit, and should make some more power. you may want to get the car tuned after that though. down side is it should throw a code unless you have a o2 sensor and simulator plugged in there.
you could get a cut out manual or electric. i think both are pricey especially since you just spent hundereds on an exhaust. the cutout would have been the way to go if you werent getting an exhaust.
heres videos of mine. the in car videos i had shot were done with my cellphone and they sound like trash. it couldnt pick up all the sounds so i never posted them. its the magnaflow catback with the mufflers removed and 2.5" piping welded in place. i used the magnaflow tips too.

I have the Dynomax mufflers on mine sounds ok , I had the flowmaster 40 series on a 97 Camaro that sounded good as well but in both cases after about 3500 - 4000 rpms it got a bit raspy in . The bottom line is whatever sounds best to the OP is what is the best for his car, thats why we all have whats called opinions. I have always heard for example that straight pipes are for high school kids or the unemployed that cant afford a real exhaust.

i have GENERIC copy cat flowmaster, 3" crushed bend, pacesetters headers, and no cat. you can make the 3100-3900 sound like a V8 but you can not get rid of the rasp sound. mine is cammed, and pnp heads, it sound good idling but i can hear the rasp on the take off.

they sound like v8s at idle when they have a an exhaust, unfortunately that all changes when they come up in rpm. your car did sound good, but im sure that your heads/cam affected the sound, and those arent the results you get from a straight piped 3100-3900.

6th Gen ('00-'05): To Magnaflow (again) or not to Magnaflow (again), That is the question.
