I always wanted to see some of those mufflers insides. But nobody has the balls to cut them in half to see the workings. You guys do! Awesome.

I recently had a magnaflow (12649) single exaust installed (after having the factory resonator and back removed) on my '04 durango, and i love it. While i initially was looking more towards flowmaster, the guy at the shop recommended the magnaflow. She probably would have sounded more wild and raspy, but the deep, clean sound of the flow-through magnaflow, with minimal drone, just sounds right for my 5.7l v8. :)

I can’t understand why someone would (to show the internal layout of a muffler)would not cut it in half longitudinally.

Flowmaster / more rumble
Borla / more aggressive
Magnaflow / more deep

I have the Borla S type cat back and I love it, zero cabin drone.

Flowmasters (baffle boxes) sound INCREDIBLE on certain engine configurations but are tuned for SOUND with varying degrees of restriction. The quieter the muffler, the more wing plates and chambers to reflect the exhaust pulses. What you hear, is the pulses being bounced around and then shot out the end(s). Any straight through design with a perforated core (glass pack) will absorb the pulses via the amount of packing material at slower speeds, then will rushingly bypass the perforations when at higher speeds or at full throttle. If you can see through it, you’re making the most of what you have under the hood. If you can’t see through it, it’s either a turbo style (looped/chambered/packed) or a baffled/screened box or tube of chambers. Old fashioned Flowmasters are like close pinning a playing card onto a bicycle frame so the card clatters along the wheel spokes. You lose some power in most instances, but not enough to matter unless you’re counting every bit of power to win in a quick straight line; and if enough pressure is applied, enough times, with lots of heat, the baffles can break off. But, they make great sound!

Thank you so much! I really cannot tell you how informative that was. I watched this before I went to my local exhaust shop. You gave me the info I needed to make a decision. I went with the Borla. Have a great day.

Great video; quick and to the point.
I've had crappy drone with the Flowmasters on my Mustang. The Magnaflows weren't bad. Once I hit Borla though, there was no going back.

My wifes ls3 vette came with some aweful magnafart glasspacks. Long story stort, the borla atak makes a superior noise 👌🤌

[cesarpalmos]

I wanted to see differences, not preferences.

[mikemarks]

They have a anti- drone for Flowmaster it’s called Delta flow I had them on my fox body mustang they were 40s it was loud as shit from the outside but inside couldn’t hear anything

[johnkemple]

where is the laminar flow muffler? Low drone and sound great

[DarkHorseParatrooper]

Nothing sounds like Borla. It's the best.

[davidgentz]

Just put a Flowmaster 70 on my 95 Chevy G20 with a 305 3 inch all the way through with a nice tailpipe it sounds beautiful no common drone nice as you throttle up you can hear the motor doing his job since very nice

Previous owner had Magnaflow exhaust already on our 2012 SRT 8 Challenger. If not, i probably would not be able to afford the 1200 bucks it costs. Sounds way better than stock and i like the tips.

[luckyPiston]

00:02 The Borla is a model ATAK for folks who were wondering,

[grindmygears-oh]

Mazda 2.3 i seen. Magnaflow sounded deep compared to flowmaster. Recommend?

[glenwoolsey]

What would you recommend for the Gladiator 3.6 for a cat back system.

[motopilot]

Borla is the way to go! I have Borla on my 2012 Camry SE V6 and my 2015 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. I chose the touring exhaust because it's mild for normal driving and gets wild when you get on it. Plus, no drone. I cannot speak to the Boral S-Type and Atak. Those are much more throaty. Also cannot speak to flowmaster or magnaflo.

How about when you are pushing 500whp from an inline 4, but you don't want it to sound like shit or be overly loud?
