[@AquiredTaste_7]

I have Flowmaster on my 2007 Silverado. I prefer the Flowmasters.

[@HeathenDelirium]

The magnaflow is really badass

[@JohnVesely]

UPDATE!!! The Magnaflow has gotten significantly louder since I have installed it. Here is the link for the video showing the comparison a year after installation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIGalWSMba6mjMU Also here is my merch..

[@mikelbaker1942]

I may go magnaflow now

[@mschiffel1]

Magnaflows have fiberglass packing around the straight through pipe...It's possible that some of that packing has "broken in" a little?

[@mschiffel1]

They both sound great, 6 of one, and a half dozen of the other.

[@Scorpio_1974]

Yeah, I have heard that allot once it has broken in it will get louder. I am sure you have heads turning going WTH is that? BOL!

[@jeffreyseay7043]

I love my magnaflows. I’ve the same system for over 10 years and they still sound great. I’ve also added magnaflow cats as well. My truck flows well now

[@bobbatman3338]

THANT YOU -- very informative - you set the sound comparison up very well before going to the actual sound comparison. And, the information regarding you truck helped me set my little grey cells for, based on my experience, what I thought your truck would sound like with each muffler. And, yes folks - listeners can actually clearly hear the sound comparisons!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK - AND, THANKS FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO.

[@wallyvillarreal2830]

The MagnaFlow makes your truck sound like a sleeper until you get up on it. I've always liked magnaflows better

[@payloadperformance9706]

Wally Villarreal that’s what I DONT like about magnaflow is that it’s so quiet at idle, and sounds loud n tight when you floor it. I like the deeper rumble from flowmaster, That being said we all have our own likes

[@jjmccloud]

Try 1 of each haha

[@chevycarlos3210]

James J. McCloud you are a legend.

[@jjmccloud]

[@Milner62]

What I am hoping for on my exhaust system for the custom 306 build I am doing for my daily driver truck. I ended up getting the Magnaflow XL 3 Chamber 6" round muffler in 2 1/4" off set inlet/outlet. What I like is this round muffler is just like the muffler that came on my truck when new looks wise. Just waiting on Waldron to make me a OEM tail pipe in stainless to complete my sleeper look I am going with. I hope like hell my exhaust will sound similar to how his was quiet at idle but got real aggressive at wot. I got enough vehicles I play around with that have loud exhaust I don't need it on a daily driver.

[@dynamictorque2945]

Thank you very much for doing this comparison, it's helped me make a decision. Instead of proclaiming one better then the other , which is entirely subjective, I'll just thank you again for your time and doing this

[@warrenrooks2251]

Well done thank you! Seems like at the end o of the day it’s personal preference. I thought I was flowmaster but now I’m leaning to the magna!

[@donnietodd3977]

I'm listening to different videos to get exhaust ideas for my 2015 Dodge Challenger RT. This video came up as a next video as KZbin just keeps playing videos. Thought I would take the time just to say your truck sounds amazing.

[@mikecooper3798]

I like flowmaster, but when you accelerated with that magnaflow, it gave me chills!

[@DarrenWS6]

Sounds good, the magnaflow is definitely better. Calm when you need it but my god comes to life at WOT.

[@coleouellette7829]

Magnaflow sounds more like something you’d put in a car. The Flowmaster sounds more like something you’d put in a truck with how much deeper sounded it is. Flowmaster is definitely the one I’m going with!

[@bigboymatthew7471]

it depends if you remove your resonator tho

[@baronblansit]

Undecided, they both sound good. I like the deeper throaty sound of the Flowmaster and the acceleration of the Magnaflow. Qualities of a good vid. TY for the comparison.

[@teejaybradford4517]

I like how he blurred his plate out on the acceleration part but not on the cold start videos...

[@Yadayadayada1234]

Bonus footage is the best!

[@TimBExhaust]

Perfect comparison. Flowmasters always sound like the exhaust is going through a tin can. Loud, but tinny and metallic, and raspy at high rpms. Magnaflows are just a beautiful mean growl from down low to up high. Love a Magnaflow.

[@TimBExhaust]

Yo Sal... well, Mister "He who doesn't READ so well", this comparison was comparing Flowmasters and Magnaflows. Nobody was even talking about Corsa you dope. In your attempt to act stupid, you proved it's not an act.

[@JohnVesely]

He did say flowmasters sucked lol, and the only reason I didn’t go with a corsa is because it is way too expensive. I understand that they sound good, but paying $300 just for the muffler is kind of ridiculous.

[@JohnVesely]

Congratulations

[@TimBExhaust]

lol... Trolls. Can't live with 'em, can't legally shoot 'em. If you're willing to "pat" for them, that sounds like a very private, personal choice. But I'll compromise. You "pay" for them, "pat" me, and I'll "put" 'em on. That'd make us both happy, right? lol... troll.

[@TimBExhaust]

salvatore DeAngelo lol... you're not even a good troll... but at least you put in the effort, so there is that.

[@kevinm8869]

Exactly what i was looking for. Thanks

[@kf9010]

I love the resonance of flowmaster. You can hear them a quarter mile away. Sounds sweet. I always go after old school forty series.

[@jragonriderwatkins6260]

Great comparison. Best sise by side I've seen ty

[@mdsilverado1183]

Sounds awesome!! Thanks for sharing the video, it's definitely help me choose the exhaust for my truck.

[@Callsignwham]

Keep in mind his does not have cats. I would get the 14"magnaflow if you plan on keeping them. I got that one on mine and it sounds badass.

[@mdsilverado1183]

@@Callsignwham ok cool, I'll look into that hopefully the exhaust shop open, all this staying home order drive me crazy!

[@Callsignwham]

@@mdsilverado1183 Yeah, it sucks for sure. You can always order the muffler and swap it yourself. It is pretty simple, I just used an exhaust sealant from an auto store and clamps. If you get a full cat-back it is a kit so it makes it easy as well.

[@philosopher8358]

I had a MagnaFlow dual exhaust put onto my 5.3 Silverado and I must say, I'm really impressed! I asked the exhaust guy to put in something rumbling (like a low growl when idling, until you get on it, then wow!), but not obnoxious. Well, I'm so glad he listened well, because its exactly what I was looking for. FlowMaster would have been, too much! My old 73 limited edition Esprit Firebird Formula sounds like my truck. Awesome! Now trying to find a way to eliminate the governor on my 2000 truck. Thanks for the comparison guys! 🤠

[@mrprevost1]

Sweet!! What tune did you use for the y pipe setup? And does the exhaust smell get into the truck?

[@evilamc1962]

That lope though! ❤️

[@UnclePauls0010]

thanks for the caparison video, I have Flowmaster on my truck but I like the quieter Magnaflow on idle when leaving my hood and it opens up when I get out on the main roads.

[@jrodflint]

That Magnaflow tho... Dam that sounds good when you get in it...

[@demarcogenix]

Thanks for this comparison. When I go to the Magnaflow website, the 3 options for my 99 f250 Super Duty are the Ford D-Fit Muffler and Exhaust, the Exhaust without Muffler and a few custom builder pipe kits. Are any of these Magnaflows the one in this video?

[@V_for_Voluntary]

I like the Magnaflow best - most practical choice and best of both worlds

[@chriskuntz7329]

Did you just get the magnaflow exhaust or did u also add the exhaust band clamp?

[@azpeoriafreak]

It would have been nice to have some footage from inside the cab to compare. All in all though I think I like the magnaflow. It sounds "just right".

[@rylanmitchell8123]

Hey JV Garage. Did you do your own cam swap? If so I was just wondering if you could give me some ideas of what cams to look at. I've got a 2010 gmc 2500hd with a 6.0l 364ci v8.

[@realreviews5693]

Thank you for the comparison. Im in the process of doing a similar setup but im going to add electric cutouts. I live in a HOA community and need a muffler that's on the quiet side for idle and low rpm driving

[@narc6150]

Ahhhhhh Dam I already order the flowmaster but l like the sound of the Magnaflow.

What kind of wheels are these. And do you have spacers? What size tires? And which levelling kit do you have on this truck. Love the look of it

[@johneaton9457]

I see that this specific muffler is a single out right? Where did you end up putting your exhaust pipe from muffler back? What are your thoughts on single versus dual out?

[@valdimirrecinos6248]

Both sound great!!Magnaflow and Flowmasters.

[@javiergarcia8897]

Hey John, I’m really looking into a muffler for my gmc. I have the speed engineering longtubes as well and was wondering if you could help me out here. Is there tons of drone with the turn down you have? Is the magnaflow you have quieter than the magnaflow bullet mufflers? Would appreciate it if you could respond! Thanks!

[@JohnVesely]

I think mine is a lot quieter than the bullet mufflers, I’ve never heard one in person but mine isn’t too loud at idle. But there’s no drone especially with the windows up.

[@american_chevy616]

I've had magnaflow on three of my trucks, till I found out about the flowmaster Outlaw, and I've never looked back. I put it on my 2020 chevy TrailBoss Lt

[@onecrazytruckinfarmer]

Man I was fixing to buy the flow master 44 but after watching this I might go magna flow for my 15 Silverado. Definitely sounds great

[@DonaldTrumpIceCream]

What mods did you do to it other than the mangaflow muffler?

[@Captaintripps1]

What series magnaflow is this and does it overwhelm the inside I like to jam my music or be able to talk without the exhaust drowning us out what do you recommend

[@lunajohn83]

Love both sounds...where in texas do you live that you got that much snow?

[@JohnVesely]

The snow was rare, the last time it snowed before this past year was back in 2004. I live in south Texas so it sure was weird seeing snow down here.

[@Funky_sockz]

I say that the muffler delete clip at the end sounds the best!! 😂😂

[@SlapStick22]

its amazing how these LS based engines sound fairly good with no mufflers at all. i gutted the y pipe on my 2002 z71 and while i was replacing the engine i did a 228r cam. with the 110lsa cam and straight of the y pipe it sounded great but god the noise would make your ears bleed.

[@mhaze3815]

At idle with a cammed engine the Flowmasters bring out that amazing lope sound.

[@Milner62]

They can. Why I ordered a magnaflow muffler for my truck. Ive seen how they can sound. I just hope mine sounds similar to the one shown in the video but a large case round XL 3 chamber muffler I don't think would sound as loud and aggressive as the straight through design used on the truck in the video. I just hope it does cause I want a nice sound from the cam I picked out for my build.

[@ivandoswrld597]

That American sound

[@JahsonnM313]

Just put the magnaflow 11226 on my 99 Tahoe xpipe true duals. This video really made me a believer!

[@ultramindcontrolrealzz8367]

Did you paint your bumpers and is it stock height and what size tires you run

[@anthonyaviles1863]

I’m struggling to find a muffler for my car. 320, but the magnaflow sounds sooooo good. It’s quiet (which I like) until you hit that gas pedal. Should I consider this muffler? Also, will it fit my vehicle? If not, I’ll still be able to get it on correct?

[@davidjunior9698]

If I do true dual MagnaFlow without cat delete it should sound something like this right I'm no expert on exhaust systems but I want mine to sound something like this but want true dual

[@UntameableVeteran]

What kind of cam do you have? Can you provide the link. I have a 2011 Silverado 4.8 definitely want to add a cam.

[@blessedindeed3006]

Super excited now! Just bought me a cat back magnaflow setup for my magnum rt...sounds way better than flowmasters to me.

[@guidosarducci3047]

I know all of these muffler comparisons are relative. I mean...there's no real way to compare it to what your own set up is gonna sound like even with the exact same muffler. There's just so many variables that affect the sound, tone, drone, ect. But every time I get ready to make a change to an exhaust or get a new muffler I go through all of these vids before I decide on what I'm going to run. Usually my mind is pretty set on a particular thing. I think I'm mostly looking for confirmation of my own decision. LOL ( been leaning towards a Magnaflow anyway) And this is one of the better comparisons out there. thanks man.

[@morganpowell7825]

They both sound good, it's just the flow masters are louder at idle and magnaflows are louder at WOT. I guess it depends on your preferences.

[@outtaroute92]

Hey man. I know I'm a couple months late. But that cam you got sounds sick. Could you tell me what cam it is? And did you have to get new lifters, push rods, springs, etc? I'd love to get a setup like that in mine

[@JohnVesely]

It’s the 220/220 cam, I got knew lifters, pushrods, and springs. I had to get the D.O.D. Delete and vvt delete as well. If I could go back I would get a little bigger cam but this one does just fine.

[@outtaroute92]

@@JohnVesely thanks for the quick reply. I really dig how it sounds. Has a nice little chop but not too aggressive. I've been looking into the dod/afm delete also. I was thinking that if I'm gonna get the delete I may as well upgrade the cam and everything while I'm at it. Thanks again man!

Texas speed longtubes and catless y-pipe

[@jordanross7510]

John Vesely: thanks John, one last question though, why didn’t you go with true dual?

[@JohnVesely]

It was cheaper just to do the y pipe

[@jordanross7510]

John Vesely: I’m a little new to exhaust and that stuff but correct me if I’m wrong, if I go with a true dual with the same setup you have, it would be more loud and have more power right?

[@JohnVesely]

It might be more loud, but as far as making more power is debatable. I don’t think the engine is flowing enough air for there to be a difference.
