which exhaust to choose!?

which muffler do i choose out of flowmaster or magnaflow? i cant choose out of the 2 ....pleaseeee help

 

Flow

 

flowmaster 40...it just gets better with time!

 

depends on the sound u want, u want baffled go with flow, u want throaty go with magna

 

I like the flow 50 personally.

 

what is baffled??

I want throaty, but I hear magnaflow is cheap or something..

what would you consider the sound of the TRD exhaust?

 

you want performance with your sound...go magnaflow......you want sound(awesome sound) more than anything.....go with flowmaster.

 

Same here....

I'm old and I like the quieter sound.

 

^
I thought that the magnaflow was quieter than the flowmaster...

 

I got a magnaflow muffler installed on my truck thrusday and i love the sound the guy said it would have been louder if i got the Flowmaster 40 series but its alumnized so for $17 dollars more I got the SS straight flow magnaflow.

 

Must consider future exh mods, ie Headers, Y-pipe, etc. The more free flowing you might want to make your exhaust in order to increase scavenging performance, will require a good freeflow muffler if you want to maintain a nice throaty growl...

Check out this page. His truck had the Flowmaster and second clips got the Magnaflow:

Neither sounds like a V8, but I love that agrressive sound the magnaflow makes. Flowmaster sounds like a can. Plus there aluminized. Im more of an SS fanatic, Hope My Borla w/DTLT's will sound like that, just preference.

 

Replace stock muffler with y-pipe and 2 SLP loudmouth resonators!! It is the deepest, best sounding exhaust on a tacoma. I have personally had the flow 40 and it sounded great but this setup is much better!!!

 

Depends on what you get.

The Flowmaster 40 series is louder than the 50 series which is louder than the 70, etc.

 

This is my flowmaster 50.

Dang I could have sworn there was a thread on taking off your stock exhaust and putting on an aftermarket one on here somewhere with pictures and directions! Anyone know where?

 

Pretty much

I got the Magnaflow...No complaints here...love it.

 

I was planning on putting a flowmaster on my 2008 taco.The muffler installer talked me into a Thrush muffler. They said it had the same baffle design as the flowmaster. I had so much noise and resonance inside the cab I couldn't hear the stereo, or anything else for that matter ! The hum was terrible. I took it back. They installed a turbo muffler instead. It's much quieter in the cab,but I lost that deep throaty sound I was looking for.They said the flowmasters would do the same thing. They said it would be loud in the cab on Toyota pickups. I have owned several other trucks(other than a Taco) and never had this problem.Has anyone else had this issue? any suggestions?

 

I just installed the Flowmaster 50 series on my truck and there is a little bit of noise in the cab but it's not bad at all. Has that nice deep sound to it as well!!

 

Loudmouth, or loudmouth 2???

 

I had a flowmaster and hated it. I had a magnaflow and wasn't too impressed.

I'm partial for the AeroTurbine 2525XL muffler myself.
