Flowmaster Vs Magnaflow Mufflers >> From My Real Experience..

[TConklin821]

I am running an eBay test pipe, no resonator, and this muffler:

holy shit. it's loud. Not just a little loud, but apparently when I really get into it when I leave my house my windows rattle, lol. Anyway, it isn't too bad inside the car, I've owned straight piped diesel pickups and all kinds of funny things, so that doesn't bother me. But man, it feels like a whole different car.

Edit:
I also run a LaBree down pipe and 2.5 inch custom exhaust from there back to the muffler. That test pipe and muffler freed up a lot of power. Boosts earlier, pulls harder up top. I love when I'm doing 70+, downshifting into 4th and getting into it. It just pulls. Getting tuned soon. Excited.

I'll get up some clips as soon as I can, keep an eye out for the thread.

Not all cars drive the same, not all engines are the same, not all cars are in the same mechanical condition, not all drivers drive the same, not all tunes are the same, etc. There are simply too many variables. Unless "back to back" dyno numbers prove it, then it is still speculation and well wishing. And the OP did not state anything about a "full" system. He only stated the muffler. As I stated previously, the stock cat and sub 2" piping is the most restrictive part of the system.

There is no denying that an exhaust will clear up back pressure. That is the purpose of adding one. But you def aren't going to get 10-15% power increase from just a muffler. It is advertised that my exhaust grants 10-15% increase in power also. But mine attaches to the cat converter, and is a full cat back system. Then I replaced the stock cat with high flowing unit. I'm even spektical of it granting 15% increase.

But in all reality, it does not really matter. Do a mod that will make a substantial difference. For example, I like my suspension mods way more than I like my ECU flash. BT on the way, but you get the point.

Yeah I get you. Our cars are the same. 2001 1.8TQM AWM code, but there are still differences and other variables. I just remember he used to be able to walk right by me, and once I did the turbo back things changed.

yeah like i said cars with turbo it can help alot or not, i get what ur saying. im doing revo stg1 tom and Custom exhaust soon so im trying to see what ppl think works well. u said ur exhaust gave u that much maybe i would like to do somthing like that?..... more supporting mods for a gt2871r in the spring? my bro has an "APR stg1+" on a 99 b5 and he walks away in every gear on a ko3 something like 12-14psi. ps im stock with cone filter and heat shield
