Now they are called powersticks by chambered exhaust.

I am running Stainless Steel MagnaFlows that I got got $61 each off of Amazon.

I really like the sound, but can not comment on how loud the are during driving yet, as she is not road worthy.

Spintech Mufflers...

I was thinking of trying Spintechs. They are not exactly cheap but I think they sound pretty good...

I'm real curious how these sound. Have a pair on my 2005 Mustang and I really like them, was considering these for my crew but never heard of anybody using them on a truck until you posted.

On my stang, they are fairly subdued at idle, but still have a nice deep throaty sound. Zero drone on the freeway, but sound very aggressive if you get on it.

I imagine it would sound quite a bit different on a big block with an aggressive cam, long tube headers, and no cats.

On my 79' 400CI I was running a dynomax welded muffler with the stock pipes. It sounded quiet when idling with a low, muffled growl but under acceleration it sounded very beefy.

I learned that muffler placement on the exhaust is more important that what muffler is used.

So let us know what you learned, it may benefit others and help with some decisions as well.

My truck came with one on it with 3 in tube and it sounds great. I also put a set on my 03 F150 and loved the sound. Not to loud but definitely noticeable.

While I love the sound of a big block with glass packs, and the old school hot rod sound it evokes, I'd much rather have something a bit better sounding on my 76.

It will probably be awhile before I get the opportunity to do so, but I'm really liking the sound of those Magnaflows and Moroso's. Tough decision I'm going to have to make.
