Heres my magnaflow's at full throttle.  Mild when cruising but gets loud when you get on it.

Should I worry about the designs like a straight through muffler like the Dynomax Ultraflo SS versus the 3 chamber of the Dynomax SuperTurbos?
The straight through design will give me more flow, but the 3 chamber design would give me more pressure in the exhaust system right?

See Chryco's post above on back pressure.   If you really want it, you can always plug up the tailpipes with potatoes, or such :grinyes:

Another for the Flowmaster side.  I have the Super 40s on my 440 6-pack, and love the sound.

Another here for flowmaster they will get my business when i install the exhaust. I like the throat basetone.

Stroker's vid is the reason I purchased Magnaflows. Love the full throttle sound, reasonably quiet note for cruising.

My Dynomax Super Turbos are awesome, and sound awesome.

The Flowmasters were too loud in the car, high resination. I hated it.  :burnout:

My son had Flowmaster 40 series on his Dodge Ram truck and I couldn't ride in it on the freeway the drone was so bad.  Have Magnaflow on my Vette and truck and love the sound.  When the time comes I'll put Magnaflow 2.5" and X pipe on the 'Cuda with the 440!!  :2thumbs:

Everybody has their favorite mufflers but installing the "H" pipe will take out some of the bark and even up the note out the back and installing an "X" will change the note again but for the better giving more scavenging and therefore slightly more power.   :2cents:

I heard the X pipe setup will only really help if I'm pushing a lot of power out of the engine, which I'm not so would I not want to bother with and H or an X for now?

Either one of the "X" or "H" pipe setups are better than running two pipes straight out the back. If you are wanting louder than stock mufflers, either of these setups will help you.

I was checking out Thrush's 2 chamber welded Mufflers, and....are they not just the same design as the flowmaster 40 series?...what is suppose to be different?
