so I don't even have my car back, and I haven't even paid my $500 deductible, but I'm already thinking about ways to spend money I don't have on my car! So I'm thinking exhaust. Originally I was thinking H-pipe and 2 chamber flows, but then there was all this talk about Magnaflow Magnapacks, etc. Just looking for opinions on what sounds best. I know Greg has flowmasters and I like the way his car sounds. I'm looking for a deep throaty rumbling sound, the sound a muscle car should make. What are your suggestions, comments, etc?

It really depends on your taste. The packs will give your car a deeper tone than it already has, but they drone like hell. I don't really mind the drone, but it gives others head pains. If its all out power you are looking for, go magnaflow. If you want that distinctive I have all kinds of power sound, go flowmaster. I have now had both flowmaster and magnaflow and would not recomend anything else. Also, if you have a power adder, get the flowmasters!

Actually no. Flowmasters suck on blown apps.

I was referring to the sound, cause I figured 5-10 hp when blown might not be worth someones preference in their auditory reflections! :lol:

Flows are among the worst-flowing mufflers out there. If you have a power-adder, it has been proven time and time again that a straight-through design is preferred.
Stef, I have Magnapacks and you've heard how my car sounds. I've made multiple trips to Miami, Tampa, etc... drone is no worse than anything else I've heard, even with gears.

Ive got a flowtech O/R X pipe, and a mac cat-back. Some might oppose mixing a X pipe with chambered mufflers, but i think it sounds very unique. When money permits, ill slap on a set of straight-thru mufflers.
My car has a slightly higer pitch at idle and acceleration than most of your prochamber-equipped cars, but it cackles like a redneck truck when I lay into the gas, accelerating between 1500-4000 RPM.
When I rev my engine at somebody, it revs up and down super fast and has an exotic high-pitched growl that sounds like no other 4.6 ive heard before.

Oh also, go with an X-pipe or similar design, not an H.

What are your suggestions Best sound= flowmaster and best power = magnaflow or dynomax. Best sound = h-pipe and best power = x-pipe.

The cams are in T's garage. Wipe that grin off your face, they will eventually be going into my car. The wheels, you could obtain those for the right price.
