Grand Moff Joseph Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 In looking at other members' cars and other cardomain pages, I notice that there is alot of Magnaflow and Flowmaster exhausts used on the W-bodies. So, which brand seems to be better, or is it all a coin toss, and I should just choose on price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joseph Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 you know, you're 100% right.

cryptnix Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 yeah... agree'd go with your hearts content. just don't amaze us with rice-lers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93CutlassSupreme Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Discussed a billion times!!!!!!!! SEARCH Function!!!!!!!!!! if all else fails, you can always go with dual APC mufflers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPrix Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Basically, whichever muffler a member has on their car they will say it is the superior brand. Either way really, you can't go wrong. Dual Flows here. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornerdealy Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'll leave you with this thought: Flowmasters have been scientifically proven to hurt performance on a car. yeah but you would have to have a car that actually performs for that to matter.

Dannymik Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 If I had a choice I would go with magnaflow, but I never wasted my money on an exhaust for my 3100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 IMHO, flowmasters sound great on v-8's...especially older muscle cars...but on a newer 6 cylinder... ...of course, maybe its how they're installed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfewtrail Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I'll leave you with this thought: Flowmasters have been scientifically proven to hurt performance on a car. Even with THAT being said, Flowmasters in a 2.5'' in/out variety will suffice for ANY W-body on this board. To put this in perspective, go to your local track and ask the people running 11's, 12's, etc. w/ their V8 powered cars w/ full exhausts what type of mufflers they're running. I have a friend here that runs 11.8's at best in the 1/4 in his 1992 Mustang that is running a catback w/ two 2.5'' in/outlet 40series flowmasters. My friend is however switching to some Dynomax Ultraflows + another h-pipe soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joseph Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Well, it won't fit my 90 Lumina...it has 2" pipes, not 2.5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERDUTYD Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 just don't use turbo II mufflers, sound terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru2Chevy Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Well, it won't fit my 90 Lumina...it has 2" pipes, not 2.5". Why would you bother with a replacement muffler if you aren't going to at least throw a 2.5" cat and piping on it? That's what I'm putting on my '91 Lumina, 2.5" catco cat, 2.5" mandrel bent pipe (leftover pieces that aren't getting used on anything else), and an Imco turbo muffler. Total cost is under $100 - Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminaPower92 Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I pretty much have the same set up on my 92 White Lumina as 93CutlassSupreme has on his car. I got a custom bent 2.5 in exhaust, with high flow cat and 2 dual 40 series flowmasters. I love em. The car receives much attention specially from rice. its even better when i gto my rims on in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope you don't mean compared to stock. Have you ever seen the innards of a stock GM muffler from like 1993+? Not pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I didn't have a muffler on my car for about a month. Got the WEIRDEST looks. I actually had compliments on my "exhaust system". I eventually threw a cherry bomb on there. Doesn't sound bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
