I had Flowmasters on it in the same configuration ( hint: Don't run true dual Flowmasters, does not sound good). I heard Immortal's single Flowmaster set up at Reading and that sounded good. The biggest thing I don't like about Flowmasters now is, well just look at the cross section! A flowmaster has a bunch of plates blocking the flow of the exaust and nothing to really quiet the sound, a Magnaflow is a strait through muffler with steel wool and fiberglass packing to obsorb the sounds. To me it just makes sense, I like the sound of my SVX now.
Here's the rest.

one thing to keep in mind
a dual magnaflow system wont sound the
same as a single crossflow magnaflow system... the dual kit would be louder somewhat.... Nice kits guys.... Dg

Dayle, what are the increased performance specs with the Magnaflow exhaust that you offer?

good question
Quote:
muffler on the V6 Camaro it was designed for a fair est would be 8-12 hp with Just the muffler. Thats a realistic non inflated estimate. Add that to the hi flow cat we offer too and you can get up to 15 or more hp. Also a plus to the additions is better gas mileage. All my cars got better mpg after I did my system.... thanks Dayle

i had a Magnaflow on my 928 and it was a great sounding/performing muffler (that was also easily replaced with a 5" megaphone if i wanted things to get ugly! )
the guy who designed the exhaust system i had on it was an evil genius with access to a dyno and flow bench. he tried many different setups and mufflers, and went with Magnaflow. so there's my endorsement, even though i have a Stebro on the SVX.

I have dual flowmasters after a Y behind the axle. It's starting to get a little buzzy around 4-5k, i think i might go back to the shop and have them put a resonator in.
Anyway, here's some pics. p.s. I dont know what kind of tips those are. If I ever get around to calling the shop, i'll find out.

I know one thing...well...two things for sure.
First is that i will be taking a notepad with me to ReadingV this April so I can compare exaust notes and make a wishlist for my exaust. Second is that the SuperTrapp mufflers sound like crap. I went to www.supertrapp.com and listened to the sound clips they had. Sounded like a farm tractor being raced. Talk about fart can exausts...sounded like a guy making raspberries into a microphone. I had an old Horizon with a 2" exaust and a cherrybomb muffler and a reversed cherrybomb as a resonator and it sounded just like those SuperTrapps. It got old really quick. The sound from those supertrapps and the price of a Stebro system have made my potential parts list that much smaller.

COST for LABOR?
Heh Dayle: How much would you say is the "average" cost for labor to have a shop bend up and weld some pipes and to install your $395. exhaust upgrade?
[i no u doughno fur shure, jus gimme a figur!] THANKS!

I would recommend getting some mandrel bent sections from JCWhitney before you would take it to a shop to have it done. If you can't find a shop with mandrel bending equip, and you are likely not to, it is not a good idea to install a tranverse mount muffler using crush bends. You have a 90 followed by a 180 and they can get very constricted when crush bent. It kind of defeats the purpose of spending money on new exhaust components and then restricting the pipe. They are pretty cheap and greatly simplify installation. A 2 1/2" 90 with an swaged end is part # 81SA2968Y at $12.99 and the 180 with swaged end is part # 81SA3035N at $23.99. If you want, get two more 90s for your outlets(be sure to checkoutlet size) althouth they're not as important because you have twice the flow coming out. If you were to get those four parts, you could easily assemble it yourself and then it would just be a matter of hanging and welding it up. It should save some labor cost at a shop. Again, this is only for the use of a 2 1/2" inlet, dual outlet transverse mount muffler(Camaro style).
