Well guys I thinking real hard about changing mufflers again. If I do it will be the 4 th set I will have tried. I was really happy with the way the GTA's sounded back when I was running my offroad prochamber. But since I have added the longtubes and am back to a standard H-pipe the GTA's are really raspy and raw sounding. I have been on the fence what to do. Build a custom made prochamber on my OBX H-pipe or go back to a more fully chambered muffler. I think I have settled on Magnaflows. When you run these with cats they are only slightly louder and deeper than stock. I have been PM'ing a number of guys about sound clips and Ryan (Cali HP Addict) had some of his car with Magnaflows and ARH longtubes. He said it really is the perfect sound. He also dumped his GTA's after adding the longtubes for the same reason I want too. He said the Magnaflows sounded good at idle and cruising and were plenty loud at WOT. Best of all they also don't drone at all. Looks like Brenspeed has them for $399 which is the same price as Ninosport. That is the best prices I have seen anywhere. I plan on talking to Brent about some other mufflers options he has up there this Friday. After all I have a birthday in a couple of weeks and am feeling I need to buy something for myself. 
Oh God....another muffler mod.

Hey Darrell,
I can't remember are running an off road pipe now or just waiting for the weather to improve to put on the off road pipe? And do you know are they made from 304 ss or 409 ss? I can't find that out anywhere. Put a magnet on your's for me and see if it sticks. 304 won't stick 409 will stick.

They are in Michigan so it would be hard to say what the shipping would be. Probably not $40 bucks. But I want to talk to Brent Friday and ask him about the Mac's also.
I am sure he has tried them all with either longtubes or offroad H-pipe. I just want to pick his brain about what I would like to get out of a muffler without all of the personal hype about this one is best or that one is best. I don't want to be the loudest guy on the block, but I want a well rounded sounding stang from idle to WOT and without the drone. I think the Magnaflows will wake up quite a bit with the longtubes and no cats. Maybe I can even get a little break from Brent since I would be picking them up and saving him the shipping cost. Can't hurt to ask! P.S. I have asked everywhere where or not the Mags or the Macs are 304 ss or 409 ss and no one seems to know. I guess I need to pack a magnet with me for Friday and check them all out.

Heres what Brent told me about the Macs when I was freaking out about the SLP's I had, he felt the macs droned worse than the SLP LM's but as far as quality and fit they are as good as any!.....Scott I don't care for the drone either but but but but! I need the sound too !

Scott, in my opinion the Macs sound awesome with the factory setup but they drone, and likely will be pretty loud with your setup. Also I think they are the cheaper stainless. The Magnaflows are the better system I think and will probably more along the lines of what you're looking for.
And I'll throw this out just to aggravate STD some more: I'm sure Brent will discount the shipping cost off of the price.

(customary Brenspeed push)Thanks Tom. The Mags are the way I have been thinking was the way to go for weeks now. I just thought I would ask Brent about the Mac's while I was there. But since you and STD both say they will drone than that's all I needed to hear to turn me off. BTW...I hate your stealth mode. Meaning your little green light isn't on.
Did you ever hear anymore about Brenspeeds water issues from the storm last week?

No update on the water..... I talked to Brent on Friday about a supercharger for a fellow forum member (he's going to buy one next week, you'll find out who soon enough, I'm sworn to secrecy) but we didn't talk about water.

How come you know what type of exhaust he has and he doesn't even know!!! Darrell is he right?? Does Tom know more about your mods than you do?
