there just about the same, my sugestion is to hear them . then pick the sound you like.  as far as performance goes  not much of a differance. i like the magna flows sound better , to me it has a deeper growl.  of course this is my opinion only. Cool

I have Magnaflows on mine and overall I like the sound... there is a slight bit of resonance/drone at certain speeds/rpms.  I have a automatic..i suspect it would be more or less noticeable on a manual tranny depending on what gear you're in. My system has dual "tips" on each muffler....I've read that the magnaflows with the single/outlet "tips"have a lot less drone...I personally don't know whether that's true or not. As I say I like the sound 'cause it sounds like a sports car should IMO...or at least that's true using my 61 year old earsBig smile

wife always complained about my 90 when i got it that it was too loud. i bought my ehaust front to back off of two different places on ebay and figured it would quiet it down. still has that lovely rumble to it. guess it's natural on mine. wife still complains and i explain to her how people go and pay a lot of money to get that sound.
 
go to each of their sites and i think they have a sound clip of the mufflers. at least that gives you a starting point.

I prefer Flowmasters over Magnaflow  , I have  Muffler Deletes on my C4  and like how it  sounds .....I bought  single chamber  Flows for  it  .but  after hearing it  with no Muffs ....I gave the flow to a buddy of  mine to put on his  fox Body Mustang ....And it's way too Loud , My Chevelle has  original 2 chamber 40 series ......Everyone calls it a beast because of it's sound  . I choose  Chambered over  Ceramic Packing Thumbs Up
