MagnaFlow or Flowmaster
I am going to change exhaust systems soon and would like to know what the differences between MagnaFlow catback and Flowmaster catback systems. The F150 i have is a 1999 with a 5.4

3in of pipe is 3in of pipe. I just got a 3in cat-back from JBA and I love it. Besides MAYBE a slightly different exhaust note I cant see how one differs from another. I would go according to what gauge (ex 14 or 16) steel they use and if its stainless steel or not.

I just had the 50 series flowmaster put on. Single in, dual 2 1/4" out with 2 1/2" tips. It has a good deep tone without the loud obnoxious sound of the 40 series. I really noticed an improvement in performance too, especially low end (2 to 4k rpm).

After 3 weeks withe the flowmaster 40 on my '03 screw with the 5.4, I exchange for the flowmaster 50. It a lot better sound not as loud and not noticable in the rear seat at highway speed. I still get that nice rumbler when I kick it.

Hey Guys....I went to Midas Muffler and had them install a 'Raven' muffler on my '03 FX-4 F150 and it sounds great. Its just got a real soft rumble to it....not loud at all. I like it better than any flowmaster I've ever heard.
