Have had my standard Magnaflow A/B's for a year. Am satisfied with them but would like something more aggressive and am thinking about the Flowmasters' American Thunder A/B's.. For those who have had or heard both - how would you compare them?

I have the Magnaflow a/b and yes, they were a bit subdued, but nice sounding, but once I threw in my Pypes O/R h-pipe, oh boy!

It really opened up the sound. I think they combine very well. If you're not planning any other exhaust mods, then yes, the Flomasters are probably your best bet.

The flows will be more aggressive but not louder.

Flowmaster = Loud

MagnaFlow = Quiet

But if you really want to go aggressive, go with Borla Stingers/Ford Racing Borla Stingers.

Get Magnapacks!!! Those will definately give you the agressive sound you're looking for and are much louder than the regular Flows. I don't have any drone with them and you can still make them quiet when you want.

My packs do drone a bit at 50 - 60 MPH and 2000 RPM. Not too bad, but it's there...

Well........after starting this thread, and reading its input as well as other related threads, have ordered the FRPP/Borla's. Decided if I was going for a change, then I should get out of my comfort zone. This site should have a warning label on it that it may be dangerous to your wallet!

After reading more than I care to admit, I ordered the MRT AeroTurbines to mate to my add-on Prochamber. I just couldn't wait for the FRPP's any longer [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]
