Get the Flowmaster Force II, thats what I have...great on the ignition and revving and accelerating, but not loud when just cruising but when you need to get on it, its right there for you!!!!!
Gained me a bit more horsepower too

There was a test done on a Mustang, with all different types of mufflers on it, the flowmaster, surprisingly enough, was third to LAST in horsepower... last being no muffler... the Aerochamber was like third or fourth from the top of the list...

But is it true that no muffler reduces horsepower but increases torque? Not really sure...what do you pros say?

I've got a Magnaflow; sounds great, but no change in hp.
I think you would have to open up the entire exhaust to duals to see any real performance gains.
Headers and true duals are probably the only mod that will increase performance and mpg!
Horsepower is a product of torque and rpm. YOU CANNOT INCREASE TORQUE WITHOUT INCREASING HP, ALSO.
The only way to increase hp without increasing torque is by raising rpm which exhaust mods won't do.
(More rare than a nightrunner - 6-speed V8 w/leather)

RE: Glasspack or Flowmaster
I just recently got an exhaust system done to my truck(3.7 V6) after lurking on this website for soo long. I ended up getting a Flowmaster 40 Series with 2.5" piping and a 3" tip. I like the way it sounds, and my truck feels more responsive than it did with the stock exhaust. Also, earlier today I purchased a K & N filter.
