Muffler Question
When installing just a new muffler and tip vs the entire exhaust system which is the better manufacturer... Magnaflow or Flowmaster? From most the posts I have reviewed it appears Magnaflow has limited drone at highway speeds but wt only the new muffler would the Flowmaster then be a better option for good sound?

I put up a thread recently and someone posted a link of how a magnaflow muffler with tip sounds and it is right about the same for mine. We both went with keeping it like stock and dropping it out behind the tire. Cost about $200 total.

I am about to put mbrp's cat back exhaust on. Its not all that expensive about 250 for the kit. It seems to be another popular exhaust system on this site.

The exhaust system that gets you better gas mileage is like the loch ness monster. I have heard alot about it but nothing that makes me believe its real lol. Find the sound you like, put it on and enjoy.

I have a friend that swears his chevy got 2mpg better after he switched from stock to a Flowmaster 40 with dual outs.

IOf you really want to be able to see a gain of something out of an exhaust system then you would have to go to the full system of headers on back. Then you might see something that is consistent to be able to call it a gain.
