go with the magnaflow, they sound so much better than a blowmaster.

This is why I say exhaust sound really is personal preference, I still liked the Flowmaster sound better, but that's just me.

I have to say, the exhaust on my 3.9 (dynomax superturbo 3" catback) is probably about as good as any 3.9 can sound. I dont like the sound of a chambered muffler on the 3.9, it sounds too ricey once you get past like 1800 RPM and I cant stand that sound. Plus it was only about 200$ for the whole setup with stainless steel pipe and a polished chrome tip. With a flowmaster you pay for the name.

i had the dynomax on my truck before and it does make the v6 sound excellent. however aluminized steel doesnt last long at all in the state of pa. it does deepen the tone but still has a ricey top end. but i must say the magnaflow on my truck has given the v6 a deeper tone throughout the entire operating speeds of the v6. i gotta disagree with ya wink but the magnaflow sounds a lot better then the dynomax. like i said, i had/have both. all about personal preference

You cant really judge which is better over youtube. They sound clips are really crappy. I like Flows but again its personal prefernce. Its best if you could hear them in real life but that may not be an option. A friend of mine just put flows on his 5.2 in his ram, so same motor and I thought it sounded awesome but some people may thing magnaflow is better, its just what you like.

I know I have had a Mustang with Flows and I got a 3" Magna for my truck a month or so ago and I love the sound. You should too.

+ another for the magnaflows... I have a magnaflow single exit cat back on my 4.7. Its not as aggresive as the 40 series flows I was looking at, but its definatly smoother.
