OK, Here is my dilema....



The 2003.....

As you may know or not I have the single in and dual 2.5 inch pipe outs with a delta 40, JBA headers and high flow cat on my 03 ST.....



With only having the 2 trucks I no longer have a daily driver and since i leave for work early I need to quiet the truck down......



I was thinking either a magnaflow kit, or getting a Flowmaster 70 and Installing that.....

I dont care if I go back to single exhaust........

Thoughts and Ideas ??



The Adren

I am set on installing a muffler in the factory exhaust, Just cut out the muffler and resonator and install a muffler.... Since the kits are the same 2.5 pipe any way..



I don't want it loud cruising,or starting. i want it good sound when getting on it...



Whatcha think ?? Magnaflow ?? Or Flowmaster 70 ???





Thanks all...

Todd, I have the Dynomax on my '01 and it is very nice. I also leave early in the a.m. and the only time it my be a little load is warming her up on the really cold days at high idle until she kicks down. Other then that, very pleased.

My 2 cents

+1 on the Dynomax SuperTurbo #17733.



Exceeded all expectation, $45 shipped from Amazon.
 
I usually keep out of the "which exhaust" discussions - Mainly because I like the fact that I seem to be the only one with the Corsa.....



But Todd, for the 4.6 IT HAS TO BE the Corsa. Such a beautiful, low key sound. I wish I could get a sound clip for you guys but I'm about 7000 miles from my Truck right now.



A little pricy for sure, but more than worth it!
 
T.Z., go with the Magnaflow cat back set up. It does everything you just described. Quiet when you want, NIIICE when you hit the loud pedal. BC
 
I chose the Flowmaster 70 Big Block because I wanted the quietest one on the market. I will see what I can do to get an mp3 recorder so that you can hear it if you don't recall hearing it in Louisville at the '06 meet. I also left the resonater in. Although I have not heard them side-by-side, I feel that the Magnaflow & the Flowmaster 50 SUV sound pretty similar.

I love mine!

of course it has been put on a dyno w/ Nocturnal Performance Intake, Lg MAF, 93 perf SCT tune, Hi-flow Cat's, FLowmaster Mufler, Motoblue Pulley's, Zabteck Throttle Body.

I was thinking the Flow 70 On each one.... Had the 50 On my 03 st for a while and went to the 40.....



Tommy, I know, But still too loud.. Sounds great.. Too loud....



I just hated the sound of the magnaflow on my 04........



UGH I hate decisions !!!!



Todd Z
 
who is the idiot that put the magnaflow on the 04 :bwahaha:



the magnaflow catback on the 07 V-8 sounds awesome :driving:
 
Todd I run the VForce by Flo-Pro. I must admit it has a very deep, but mellow rumble at idle. It lets out a growl on start up until the idle kicks down. Interior resonance is minimal. If anything it is worth checking into. Just my .02 .
 
I think the 70 is in my future....... i wish i could hear Rodgers truck to see....

I had the magnaflow cat back system in stainless. I was very happy with it.

Got improved MPG and the sound was deeper but not so deep it was loud..
