the exhaust shops which have done work for me carry magnaflow mufflers. i like the way they sound and i will continue to use them because i agree with you...lots of people run flowmasters. my mustang has flowmasters but they were installed by the previous owner. the 2 1/4 inch pipe should work well if you are going to run dual exhaust and i prefer to pay someone to install custom x-pipes for my exhaust systems. cheers, garsten

I prefer to be alittle bit on the noisy side, deep and powerfull but not too much I dont want to be all noise and nothing to show,and I was considering an h-pipe thinkihg it might a little more cost effectivethan an x-pipe, but as anyone ever tried the hooker mufflers

you've heard of burning out a set of glaspacks to get them louder? this is a different method of achieving the same result. it doesnt take glasspacks long to rust out and this method speeds up that process, i dont recommend it but what ever works for ya!
