Default Ditching the flowmaster....

well like the title says i am ditching my flowmaster. and looking at a dynomax superturbo catback like this onedynomax super turbo just wondering if anyone has any experiance with them..

and do the airraid kits for our trucks give any horse power?? i mean from the pictures they use the stock intake tube.. so is there any reason to buy one??

I would just remove the Flowmaster muffler, keep all the piping, and weld in the appropriately sized Magnaflow muffler, depending on what you want as far as sound. You can get a Magnaflow muffler for as little as $65 and get it welded in for another $40-$50.

I had the Airaid kit without the tube for a year before I bought the tube to complete the CAI. It gave me some more HP, but that might also be because I had it with my ram air hood. If anything try to get a complete kit. You be better off.

Nothing wrong with the Dynomax; I have true duals with the Dynomax Superturbos and I like the sound. Its a deep, smooth tone that you can feel more than hear. Its about as loud as a 50 series Flow I'd say but sounds and flows a lot better.

**** sound, go with flow. Magnaflow is strait through and not near as loud as most other performance mufflers. If you wanted just sound stick with the flowmaster.
