    I'm assuming you've seen this thread: http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=11892

    I like my Borla with the perforated cone in the tip...

    But I also like the way other members VX's sound with flowmasters & duals...a much lower rumble than the Borla, way more agressive sounding at idle.

    For side by side comparison, nothing beats a trip to Moab...

    You should be able to hear quite a variety of combinations there.

    I have a 2.5" Flowmaster Delta 50 (update - actually a Super 44). It's loud as stink at speed but sounds great at idle - a nice, throaty, snorty burble for a V6. At full throttle over 3500 rpm it's a little bit coffee-can sounding from inside, but I have no idea what it sounds like from outside.

    I found that it gave a significant boost to low-rpm torque as well.

    I thought this thread was titled Mufflers for Mormans for a brief second.

    if you give me about 2-3 weeks, I'm apt to have my magnaflow up for sale, it's very light, pretty loud and aggressive sounding, very gently used, as in like 2 weeks total, I am the second owner but the first had it on for only a week, I've driven it perhaps a week total (I alternate cars)

    Flowmaster Super40

    Take a look at what I wrote-up on the Super40 on this thread...
    It may give you a better idea of what to expect...

    BTW... I still LOVE the Super40's sound!

    Comming from eights, nothing is gonna sound right to you for awhile The Magnaflow I went with sounds great at start up, idle, and part throttle....at W.O.T. it gets the "coffee can" tone as well, but all low restriction mufflers are gonna do that I think.
