Exhaust systems

I used some summit welded stainless steel mufflers which sure do look a awful lot like magnaflows without the fancy stamped "magnaflow" case, they were $40 each and sound nice, deep and mellow at idle and cruise but open up and get louder at WOT. If you search for the tail pipe threads you should find the part numbers for them i posted and yes flowmasters suck for actual flow and power compared to magnaflows and a few other similar brands.

i have stainless magnaflows on my vette, no they don't have baffles just the open chamber with a perforated liner, for lack of a better term...
 they are quite at idle, people say they sound good as i drive by (idk since i don't let anyone drive my cars) 

I've had flowmasters on a variety of Fords over the years from a 78 bronco w/351m400 to a 68 mustang w/302 to my wife's 96 bronco w,/5.7 They've all sounded really good. But have read and heard good things about magnaflo,so was curious.

magnaflows are way better than my old flowmasters. Sounds cleaner and above all, no more droning.

X it! I built my dual 3" exhaust using Pypes XVF13 narrow trans tunnel X-pipe, 2-18" Jeg's header collector extensions, 2-Dynomax Ultraflo 17221 mufflers and 2-Flowmaster T3030 turndowns and a couple hangers. Did all the fit-a-ment/welding over a full Saturday.

They say that H pipe is better for low end power but X is for high end.

These guys say X-pipe is the best overall, but H pipe helps too.
