I recently had a magnaflow (12649) single exaust installed (after having the factory resonator and back removed) on my '04 durango, and i love it. While i initially was looking more towards flowmaster, the guy at the shop recommended the magnaflow. She probably would have sounded more wild and raspy, but the deep, clean sound of the flow-through magnaflow, with minimal drone, just sounds right for my 5.7l v8. :)
Flowmasters (baffle boxes) sound INCREDIBLE on certain engine configurations but are tuned for SOUND with varying degrees of restriction. The quieter the muffler, the more wing plates and chambers to reflect the exhaust pulses. What you hear, is the pulses being bounced around and then shot out the end(s). Any straight through design with a perforated core (glass pack) will absorb the pulses via the amount of packing material at slower speeds, then will rushingly bypass the perforations when at higher speeds or at full throttle. If you can see through it, you’re making the most of what you have under the hood. If you can’t see through it, it’s either a turbo style (looped/chambered/packed) or a baffled/screened box or tube of chambers. Old fashioned Flowmasters are like close pinning a playing card onto a bicycle frame so the card clatters along the wheel spokes. You lose some power in most instances, but not enough to matter unless you’re counting every bit of power to win in a quick straight line; and if enough pressure is applied, enough times, with lots of heat, the baffles can break off. But, they make great sound!
I had a shop install a FlowMaster on my Ram 1500 & it destroyed my horsepower I hate it, I went & bought a cherry bomb GlassPack to have installed instead of the FlowMaster crap, so what your saying is the GlassPack since it goes straight thru & I can see thru to the other side it will make my truck fast again?
@@schlick93ifyAnytime you take a Flowmaster exhaust system off and replace it with a different type of aftermarket performance muffler, your most definitely gonna gain some Horsepower and Torque, Flowmasters are junk, but they can definitely make a stock V-8 engine sound good, for instance the older 5.0 Foxbody Mustangs, just put on a Off road H Pipe and some 2 Chamber Flowmasters and it'll sound fantastic, but you'll definitely be giving up some performance, i always liked the Dynomax Ultra Flos, Straight Thru design, Stainless Steel, and not too much money.
Great video; quick and to the point. I've had crappy drone with the Flowmasters on my Mustang. The Magnaflows weren't bad. Once I hit Borla though, there was no going back.
Thank you so much! I really cannot tell you how informative that was. I watched this before I went to my local exhaust shop. You gave me the info I needed to make a decision. I went with the Borla. Have a great day.
Just put a Flowmaster 70 on my 95 Chevy G20 with a 305 3 inch all the way through with a nice tailpipe it sounds beautiful no common drone nice as you throttle up you can hear the motor doing his job since very nice
Previous owner had Magnaflow exhaust already on our 2012 SRT 8 Challenger. If not , i probably would not be able to afford the 1200 bucks it costs. Sounds way better than stock and i like the tips.
They have a anti- drone for Flowmaster it’s called Delta flow I had them on my fox body mustang they were 40s it was loud as shit from the outside but inside couldn’t hear anything
@@SmoknJaysGarage Just received my Borla S-types for my 11 GT500. Chose them over the Corsa's because I've heard them on some other GT500's and they sound good. The Corsa's have also gone up quite a bit in price as well which was a consideration for me. I had Corsa Extremes on my 12 & 13 Boss 302 and loved their sound. The GT500 has the 5.4L motor vs. 5.0 on the Boss, so might not be a fair comparison sound wise, especially since the Boss has 4 exhaust outlets....vs. 2 on the GT500. Looking forward to the spring to install the Borla's and see how they sound.
@macker0077 i have the S-Type ll on my corvette and they sound amazing! I know the LS7 will sound different than yours, but I think you'll be very happy.
Borla is the way to go! I have Borla on my 2012 Camry SE V6 and my 2015 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. I chose the touring exhaust because it's mild for normal driving and gets wild when you get on it. Plus, no drone. I cannot speak to the Boral S-Type and Atak. Those are much more throaty. Also cannot speak to flowmaster or magnaflo.
With Borla you also get T304 stainless steel a much better stailnless steel than 409. 409 will rust where T304 stainless steel will withstand the elements far better.
409 is exhaust grade stainless and perfectly fine. It 'oxidizes' from the heat (turns brown) more than actual 'rust'. 304 is more prone to cracking and work hardening and harder to form. Even if you drive your car in the worst elements (not likely) 409 will last nearly the life of the vehicle. 304 is more suited to a show car because it polishes better.
At over $1100 for Borla's, and seeing what's inside.....I guess the metal is super expensive and/or the process to make them labor intensive? Not much too them when you see the insides.
Just bought a Camaro with long tube headers and Kat deleted. Has borla ATAK exhaust. It is way too loud and raspy. Pretty sure that exhaust was made for a catted factory exhaust. I definitely want to hear my exhaust. But it wanted to be deep throaty and a reasonable volume. This car is embarrassing to drive it so loud. Literally sounds like straight pipes to me. What do you recommend to modify this exhaust to get what I'm looking for?
What kind of muffler Can I get in 304 stainless for a chevy 1500 5.3l that will give me a factory QUIET exhaust I don't need to sound cool to all my neighbors and I don't want to have to replace it so often since it rusts out so fast?
Which magnaflow would be good for a rt challenger i don't want it too loud but i don't want it too quiet either i heard the 14 in magnaflow is a good pick im looking for a deep smooth sound
You could go with the 14 inch magna flow in the midsection and delete the rear resonators, but if you want something more aggressive, you can also do the magna packs. Both are a great option.
@@StraightPipedByGexhaust i heard it not good to delete your resonators i don't want nothing to loud just something with a deep smooth tone and less drone
There’s a bunch of options for trucks . It just depends on what type of sound you’re looking for . If you want old fashioned American truck sounds the flowmaster 40 series is a great option. If your looking for for more of a smoother performance truck sound magnaflow and Borla give off a clean deep sound to the v8
Flow master muffler's are junk, only on a chassis Dyno can you see the improved HP and TQ We have tested many muffler's, flowmaster muffler's take away HP and TQ. Borla improved Dynomax bullet was the biggest gains of HP and TQ
You can't watch this video with a headache... Cam goes up and down, guy goes left and right, the colors will destroy your eye's sensors. Thank you, I'm gonna puke.
Dunno what you're smoking man. I've had all with Flowmaster, baffles taking a shit within 2 years, sounding good with a v8. Magnaflow is a fancy resonator, but build quality and sound are top notch. I have borla now, 12 yrs old and still looks like new
BORLA SOUNDS BEST AND THEY DEF DONT DRONE ANYWHERE AS BAD AS THE OTHER TWO BRANDS..BORLAS FULL CAT BACK KITS ARE EXPENSIVE BUT YOU COULD ALWAYS JUST HAVE AN EXHAUST SHOP MAKE YOU AN EXHAUST WITH A BORLA MUFFLER OF YOUR CHOICE.
Flowdisasters. Cheap material drone and kill power. But they do sound good on old vehicles. Borla is good quality, but their atak crate muffler is way overpriced and sounds crappy, their other mufflers have a good tone just to mellow for me.
This guy is a hack. Flowmaster sounds so much better when you have horsepower. If you have a stock turd, then yeah jazz it up with an expensive muffler. But if you have a real car, flowmaster is better.
@@StraightPipedByGexhaust been building cars and doing exhaust for 30 years. And I have multiple drag racing championships. I don’t have to explain myself but just for clarity I did. I know what I’m taking about and to be honest, these borla mufflers don’t sound good at full throttle and they’re overpriced. You’re entitled to your opinion but so am I, and that’s my opinion. Have a good one
You got that assbackwards bud. Flowbastard is for a 'Stock Turd'. Those are the WORST damn mufflers out there. Not my opinion either. Look at the flow data. Flow about the same as a stock muffler just noisier. 53% flow of a straight pipe. If you worked at a flow lab you would see that the exhaust flow in a Flowbastard is blocked right away by their famous 'wall of death' delta wall right after the exhaust enters the muffler. Just about ANY other muffler will beat them. But they had a hell of a marketing campaign. Doesn't matter, all Chinese made now. Flugger sold out and was laughing all the way to the bank. So, in building cars for 30 years and being a 'championship racer' your 2 biggest criteria or concerns are 1) SOUND, which you reference a lot (NOT performance, because if it was China made inferior engineering isn't a first choice) and 2) COST. Okay. I gotcha. Go win some races with cheap bottom of the barrel mufflers.
I always wanted to see some of those mufflers insides. But nobody has the balls to cut them in half to see the workings. You guys do! Awesome.

Flowmaster / more rumble
Borla / more aggressive
Magnaflow / more deep
Wth is the difference between aggressive and deep?
Corsa / All of Them
Which one do you get for 3.5lt v6 Acura MDX , I’m thinking to put straight pipe from the catalytic (and leaves all the cats on)

My wifes ls3 vette came with some aweful magnafart glasspacks. Long story stort, the borla atak makes a superior noise 👌🤌
THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALL ARE GREAT BRANDS AND PRODUCTS.
00:02 The Borla is a model ATAK for folks who were wondering,
I can’t understand why someone would (to show the internal layout of a muffler)would not cut it in half longitudinally.
So they could describe the 'Clean' sound!
where is the laminar flow muffler? Low drone and sound great
They have a anti- drone for Flowmaster it’s called Delta flow I had them on my fox body mustang they were 40s it was loud as shit from the outside but inside couldn’t hear anything
I wanted to see differences, not preferences.
Nothing sounds like Borla. It's the best.
I think Corsa's are just as good or better.
It doesn't drone. I gotta drone.
@macker0077 corsa makes a quality product. But they have a higher pitched tone while borla offers a deeper tone.

Mazda 2.3 i seen. Magnaflow sounded deep compared to flowmaster. Recommend?
I have the same Fabletics pants. Love em
legit comparison
Flowmasters have better options for sound customization. The 3-chamber Delta flows are awesome on my Mach 1.
What would you suggest for a 2017 Camaro V6?
Great break down bro
This is the most bullshit/biased video I've ever seen. Each one of these companies makes multiple versions of mufflers that fit various applications.
Then why don't you make your own video? Stupid fuck!
What do you think of Gibson exhaust.

Fuck your neighbors! Wake their asses up!
Flowmaster they last forever
By the way hackers I want my muffler back😅
If I have a Corolla 1.8 which one should I get?
Get a gmc
What about the flowmaster fx ?
Dynomax always sounds better on my Buick and Oldsmobile big blocks and makes way more power per the dollar.
What kind of dynomax are you using. I currently have a buick 455 with a turbo style dunomax on it and I hate it.
What do you recommend to use with the newer Frontier v6 (dual exhaust)?
Best for jeep liberty v6 3.7?

Borla Atak or Borla S is your best bet. They sound amazing
Go with Bassani universal mufflers.
😂 I wanna see the Dyno results … not sound
They’re not selling to performance customers. They’re selling to hood rats who only care how it sounds..
I know the Magnaflow have the least Back Pressure, and the Flowmasters are worse than the OEM Mufflers
Spintech mufflers ftw 💯
Borla is the only way to fly.
Very loud and very expensive. Surprised someone dumped those ATAK mufflers. They're roughly $250-$300 per muffler.
You should try to research how well a tractor muffler flows, That's what I have on my car and it sounds great!! And it's much cheaper
You got r&d in them muflers?
European teknology is 4 real whas its happyning!
Eh, I have a Magnaflow straight through on my car, sounds good, not much drone, not obnoxiously loud...just right 🤷
What model Borla is that?
Atak
borla is the best without a doubt
Borla and Corsa are the best
Corsa enters the chat!!! Borla who?
What brand and which muffler you recommend for a 12 model sierra 5.3l?
There’s a bunch of options for trucks . It just depends on what type of sound you’re looking for . If you want old fashioned American truck sounds the flowmaster 40 series is a great option.
