Wally Villarreal that’s what I DONT like about magnaflow is that it’s so quiet at idle, and sounds loud n tight when you floor it. I like the deeper rumble from flowmaster, That being said we all have our own likes
What I am hoping for on my exhaust system for the custom 306 build I am doing for my daily driver truck. I ended up getting the Magnaflow XL 3 Chamber 6" round muffler in 2 1/4" off set inlet/outlet. What I like is this round muffler is just like the muffler that came on my truck when new looks wise. Just waiting on Waldron to make me a OEM tail pipe in stainless to complete my sleeper look I am going with. I hope like hell my exhaust will sound similar to how his was quiet at idle but got real aggressive at wot. I got enough vehicles I play around with that have loud exhaust I don't need it on a daily driver.
Thank you very much for doing this comparison, it's helped me make a decision. Instead of proclaiming one better then the other , which is entirely subjective, I'll just thank you again for your time and doing this
Perfect comparison. Flowmasters always sound like the exhaust is going through a tin can. Loud, but tinny and metallic, and raspy at high rpms. Magnaflows are just a beautiful mean growl from down low to up high. Love a Magnaflow.
Yo Sal... well, Mister "He who doesn't READ so well", this comparison was comparing Flowmasters and Magnaflows. Nobody was even talking about Corsa you dope. In your attempt to act stupid, you proved it's not an act.
He did say flowmasters sucked lol, and the only reason I didn’t go with a corsa is because it is way too expensive. I understand that they sound good, but paying $300 just for the muffler is kind of ridiculous.
lol... Trolls. Can't live with 'em, can't legally shoot 'em. If you're willing to "pat" for them, that sounds like a very private, personal choice. But I'll compromise. You "pay" for them, "pat" me, and I'll "put" 'em on. That'd make us both happy, right? lol... troll.
I love my magnaflows. I’ve the same system for over 10 years and they still sound great. I’ve also added magnaflow cats as well. My truck flows well now
Magnaflow sounds more like something you’d put in a car. The Flowmaster sounds more like something you’d put in a truck with how much deeper sounded it is. Flowmaster is definitely the one I’m going with!
They can. Why I ordered a magnaflow muffler for my truck. Ive seen how they can sound. I just hope mine sounds similar to the one shown in the video but a large case round XL 3 chamber muffler I don't think would sound as loud and aggressive as the straight through design used on the truck in the video. I just hope it does cause I want a nice sound from the cam I picked out for my build.
Undecided, they both sound good. I like the deeper throaty sound of the Flowmaster and the acceleration of the Magnaflow. Qualities of a good vid. TY for the comparison.
I had a MagnaFlow dual exhaust put onto my 5.3 Silverado and I must say, I'm really impressed! I asked the exhaust guy to put in something rumbling (like a low growl when idling, until you get on it, then wow!), but not obnoxious. Well, I'm so glad he listened well, because its exactly what I was looking for. FlowMaster would have been, too much! My old 73 limited edition Esprit Firebird Formula sounds like my truck. Awesome! Now trying to find a way to eliminate the governor on my 2000 truck. Thanks for the comparison guys! 🤠
THANT YOU -- very informative - you set the sound comparison up very well before going to the actual sound comparison. And, the information regarding you truck helped me set my little grey cells for, based on my experience, what I thought your truck would sound like with each muffler. And, yes folks - listeners can actually clearly hear the sound comparisons!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK - AND, THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO.
I honestly would have considered changing the single Flowmaster to full dual muffler setup using 44's and H-pipe. With that cam, no need to really keep single exhaust
I'm listening to different videos to get exhaust ideas for my 2015 Dodge Challenger RT. This video came up as a next video as RU-vid just keeps playing videos. Thought I would take the time just to say your truck sounds amazing.
Give the Magnaflow time to break in. I have the same on my car and after about 1500 they really start to get their signature sound. It's a crisper more aggressive sound and doesn't sound so muffled.
I've had magnaflow on three of my trucks, till I found out about the flowmaster Outlaw, and I've never looked back. I put it on my 2020 chevy TrailBoss Lt
@@1Korse turn off dod or AFM, whichever term you prefer. People say that drone is unbearable in 4 cylinder mode, I'm telling you right now... if you think its loud with a muffler or cat back, you have no idea what loud or drone is.
thanks for the caparison video, I have Flowmaster on my truck but I like the quieter Magnaflow on idle when leaving my hood and it opens up when I get out on the main roads.
I recently had dual magnaflo installed on my 2006 Volkswagen Touareg 4x4 ,4.2 v8 have owned it for 4 years wish it was the first modification. Better sound, acceleration,and fuel numbers i never thought possible.
Honestly, the flow master idle sounds better but mag acceleration sounds richer and more aggressive. The question is do I rather acceleration or idle ? I want both! So the answer is” neither “ but if I have to take one it would be the mag because it well definitely let other drivers know when they piss me off lol
its amazing how these LS based engines sound fairly good with no mufflers at all. i gutted the y pipe on my 2002 z71 and while i was replacing the engine i did a 228r cam. with the 110lsa cam and straight of the y pipe it sounded great but god the noise would make your ears bleed.
I'm more of a flowmaster person. I cannot stand quiet vehicles and neighbors that aren't pissed off at me. I can understand having Magnaflow in Texas cause they're strict on exhaust unlike Oklahoma they don't care as long as you have some sort of muffler on and your lights work. It don't sound bad by any means but I'm #TeamFlowMaster
I know all of these muffler comparisons are relative. I mean...there's no real way to compare it to what your own set up is gonna sound like even with the exact same muffler. There's just so many variables that affect the sound, tone, drone, ect. But every time I get ready to make a change to an exhaust or get a new muffler I go through all of these vids before I decide on what I'm going to run. Usually my mind is pretty set on a particular thing. I think I'm mostly looking for confirmation of my own decision. LOL ( been leaning towards a Magnaflow anyway) And this is one of the better comparisons out there. thanks man.
The Magnaflow definitely sounds way better. I run them on my daily driver. Getting the Sound you want out of the is pretty easy if you know how to pick the right ones. For your application, I would've gone with the 12867 or 12619. The slightly shorter length would've given it slightly more volume at idle, and the smaller case size would've given it a deeper tone with more bass.
I just had flowmaster super 40s dual exhaust on my new silverado. At first I didn’t like them but now they sound great. Next up..mass OS, headers and maybe a tune
Thank you for the comparison. Im in the process of doing a similar setup but im going to add electric cutouts. I live in a HOA community and need a muffler that's on the quiet side for idle and low rpm driving
Nice truck bro I have a 2012 Silverado with a flowmaster super 10 with 3 inch dual turn downs and it's more deeper than louder compared to ur truck. Also have a cold air intake on mine but by far yours sounds amazing
People buy differences. One of the differences people consider when choosing a muffler/exhaust systems is the end result sound. Many different factors can affect the sound; and here are just a few of said factors: : 1) manufacture exhaust manifolds or headers (including brand, style and length can make a difference in the sound, 2) no cats or cats and brand and flow rate of cats, 3) the metal or the pipes (standard, aluminum, or stainless steel), 4) pipe diameter size, 5) the exhaust pipe style - separate -true duals all the way back vs. other configurations (single in dual out, "x" or "Y" or "H" pipes and etc.), 5) the muffler(s) brand, type, model, and the muffler "in" and "out" tube placement (center in and out, center in and off-set out, both in and out off-set, and etc. -- most folks don't realize that the muffler in and out pipe positions has an effect on the sound produced). 6) the the engine (make; chevy - ford - dodge or other. -- how many cylinders, exhaust gas flow rate, and HP; and, even the type of cam), and 7) the metal used to make the muffler - standard, aluminum, stainless steel). Each of the aforementioned are just some of the factors that can make a difference in the sound produced. Also, regarding interior noise: Interior noise level is the result of an accumulation of exterior sounds including muffler sound, A well-insulated interior cabin will reduce exterior sounds including muffler sound; however, unless you are completely rebuilding or restoring the vehicle - two processes which allow access to better insulate the interior cabin, you can ignore exterior sounds other than those produced by muffler(s). Another factor involved in sound production is the equipment used to do the recording. Different types of recording equipment and microphones used can also produce different sound results - mainly the quality of the sound and the metering of the sound balance - assuming said equipment has such capability. Hopefully, the above information will help some folks understand how hard it is to get the exact SOUND they want from the muffler(s) they install on their vehicles. This video, in my opinion, gives a great sound comparison of the exterior muffler sounds of the the two mufflers compared. Thanks JV Garage. Your video gives a good comparison of the two mufflers you compared - a flowmaster super 44 and a magnaflow (model - unknown -- adding the magnaflow model number and the magnaflow in and out pipe positioning may be helpful for those who are considering the magnaflow muffler you installed). However; job well done!!! NOT WITHSTANDING ALL THE ABOVE; in my opinion, you did an excellent job of comparing the differences in the sounds of the two mufflers. Thank you for your time, expense and efforts in producing this video for people like myself to use use in considering the two different brands of mufflers I am currently considering for installation in my vehicle.
Thanks for the sound comparison I'm going to the magnaflow too the flowmaster is waking my neighbor up and I'm getting looks I have a 2011 RAM 1500 R/T with 400 rwhp
I trying to quite my truck down just cut out the flow master and went with the Magnaflow. New California for Exhaust Law nothing over 95db get you a $1000 fine
Looks and sounds like you used different cameras for a few clips, not quite a true comparison for that reason but very thorough and I definitely prefer the Flowmaster.
I have an 18” straight thru oval magna on 2019 Silverado and couldn’t be happier. Only hear it during accel but it’s soooooo smooth and pretty. Very quiet at idle and roars like a mf at high rpm. Flowmaster sound like a tin can that’s trying too hard. If you’re young and dumb, go flowmaster. If you’re mature and wise, go magna. Case closed.
Ngl the magna is a beautiful sounding muffler, but I personally find the low drone, with the slight rattle of a flowmaster a better sound, sure it’s not as ear splitting at high rpm, but in my opinion it has a much better idle sound, and your neighbors won’t hear you floor it three miles from home
I have a Ram w/Hemi, I think the flowmaster is better sounding, I am using the FlowmasterFX with resonators still on. I've heard the magnaflow on a similar truck. It only sounded great when WOT. I don't drive WOT all the time! Sorry, my flowmasterFX sounds overall deeper and like a v8 truck should. I actually think the other Ram owner thought the same as I did.
I literally have basically this identical truck. 2013 Sierra 1500 6.2L but it’s an RMT so got the RMT stickers and lift but I wanna throw the magnaflow under it and hopefully get a stage 2 cam
Thanks for this comparison. When I go to the Magnaflow website, the 3 options for my 99 f250 Super Duty are the Ford D-Fit Muffler and Exhaust, the Exhaust without Muffler and a few custom builder pipe kits. Are any of these Magnaflows the one in this video?
I think flow masters given nice Idle chop,Makes it sound like it has a bigger cam, but when you get on it it flattens out, the magna flow has a mellow tone at idle, but when you get on it it gets raspy and nasty! I have both on different vehicles, the stocker the motor the more I prefer Flowmaster, the more radical the motor the more I prefer magnaow
I have a MagnaFlow muffler on my 2017 Kia Sorento V6. there are 2 mufflers. one in the center of the car, and one in the back. I replaced the one in the center with the Magnaflow, and deleted the one on the back. I love seeing people faces when I start my car or take off. They are like WTF u got in there? LOL
I think the Flowmaster muffler was more fitting for this cammed truck. And I noticed that on every comparison the Flowmaster was farther back and the Magnaflow was right up by the truck.
I’m struggling to find a muffler for my car. 320, but the magnaflow sounds sooooo good. It’s quiet (which I like) until you hit that gas pedal. Should I consider this muffler? Also, will it fit my vehicle? If not, I’ll still be able to get it on correct?
Holy shit the magnaflow makes the truck sound like a race car. I have a super 10 on my 5.3 right now but when I cam mine imma have to cut it off and get a magnaflow got damn!!!
I Ran my 06 impala ss for a while without the tips and short pipes. I was getting 8 something litres per 100 klm. Was little to Much drone against bumper as well as noisy. I put the tips on, now extend past bumper but to quiet unless punching it. Fuel economy is now 11 ltrs for 100 klm traveled. This is what car got for millage with stock exhaust. The Do the tips have packing that will break down soon? This is a cat back system with k and n air filter.
Magnaflow is my setup on my 1994 Chevy 350 tbi true duals no cats Magnaflow 11225 mufflers it’s loud and it’s tame at idle when warm but it gets loud when you give it gas Magnaflow gets slightly louder overtime as well plus Magnaflow is stainless steel overall I like Magnaflow more because they sound more bassy deep and throaty
Much better sound out of the Magnaflow! Some on needs to come up with a cure for that NASTY clattering clacking noise when the throttle is released. Thanks Rod
Ok so I put a flow master super 44 on my 1994 4.0 L Jeep Cherokee and it sounds pretty damn mean and loud, I absolutely love the idle and the fact that there’s little drone at highway speeds but i still get plenty of growl when i step on it. As a side not I also get exhaust pop on occasion when I’m down in low gear at the higher rpms. Not sure if anyone else has encountered this
MagnaFlow is the way to go. On my 2006 V8 5.3 Silverado I had installed a flowmaster. Couldn't stand it after a week and had the MagnaFlow installed. Now I have a 2019 Silverado and I'm taking it in on Saturday to have a 22in MagnaFlow installed.. the stock Muffler is just way too quiet.
If I do true dual MagnaFlow without cat delete it should sound something like this right I'm no expert on exhaust systems but I want mine to sound something like this but want true dual
Magnaflow for sure... Thanks for the post... I have second body 07 z71 vortec max and been lookin to tweek exhaust sound but keep O. E. general design... Now i know what im doing
That magnaflow sounds awesome. I had a magnaflow on my old 1996 Nissan 240sx . It was my favorite exaust sound, throaty and not the tin can Honda sound, I miss that car. But it also had bigger pipe from cat back, not sure the size because it came on the car when I bought it. But hands down my favorite exaust sound for sure
That magnaflow sounds sweet. (I'm tearing my hair out trying to find a way to keep my ls swap 94 toyota pickup quiet enough to not wake the whole neighborhood)
I have ran both and currently have a 24" magnaflow on my 13' ram sport. Flowmasters sound way better on the bottom end but open it all the way up and magnaflow sound a touch better on the top end in my opinion .
