I have narrowed it down kinda to the flowmaster 40 or 50 delta flows and a magnaflow. However which one gives the better performance in terms of low end torque and HP. I have pretty much decided to go single in and single out so as not to loose low end torque. This decision was made after many conversations with the tech guys from magnaflow and flowmaster, who all said I should stay away from SI/DO regerdless of pipe size. They also all said the single would give me more performance, unless I went with headers and true duals. However they ALL say their product is the best.Please help, I am drowning in these weighty decisions.

Well..I am not sure of performance of the other two, but I DO know that the warlock muffler I mentioned by flowtech gained 11rwhp on a dyno. I can find the thread for anyone wanting the info, but the site is not approved of at FTE.

I would still go with the Flowmaster 40 Delta, it's best on the 4.2L! When you stated "They also all said the single would give me more performance" is that meaning the single in single out setup??

I have recently switched to a magnaflw muffler dual out from a flowmaster 40 dual out. Both with turndowns. I find the magnaflow when you get on it sounds much better. Sounds mean. The flowmaster, can get strained sounded after so many rpm. Truthfully I think I got better gas mileage with the flowmaster. You call the flowmaster was really loud though

Those things are pretty loud uncapped...Talley uncapped his at the track...I think...killed my Flowmaster in sound. I plan on getting 1 or 2 ...true duals or not true duals...that is the question.
