Which is better Flowmaster or Magnaflow?

[bluemagic]

which brand is better with performance on a ex

 

[Got2bneo]

its all about opinion.

not true, for sound.. flowmaster's, for power? magnaflow. this is because flowmaster mufflers are chambered, and magnaflow are straigh throughs.. so it depends on what you want bud. but heres my magnaflow sound, and i wouldnt trade it for anything.

[bluemagic]

[zerodevil]

between my CAI and my exhaust (Done at the same time), i got roughly 1 mpg highway out of her.

its all about preference fella

not in terms of performance, magnaflow is up there with borla + Corsa in terms of flow. Flow masters sound better, but dont give as much performance. straight through mufflers > Chambered muff's.

It hasnt been mentioned but what about Dynomax mufflers? In terms of CFMs, they typically outflow the Flowmasters.

I myself like the sound of Magnaflows better thats my opinion... but flowmaster has had more advertisement so the first thing a person thinks about when it comes to exhaust is flowmaster... The only flowmaster that I like is the single chamber w/dumps...

What kind of Magnaflow is that? it sounds great!! I need one!!

 

[zerodevil]

thats the magnaflow catback kit, made for the 4.6L explorer.

As most said- it's about preference. They all tear apart other's products to see what they do, what they can do better, so it's a constant game of leapfrog.

Like most mods (and I'm guilty of it too) chances are, whatever someone has purchased, is what they will say is the best- it's internal validation...
