Default Ebay exhaust

Hey I saw this item on ebay and was wondering if it would be any good for my truck

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...951158862&rd=1

It has dual 2.25 tailpipes which I would say would have a little restriction still so would I losse power? I'm not out to gain power but a little would be nice, I just want the sound and I'm a firm believer that flowmaster has the best out there. OR there is this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...951470333&rd=1

It is a MAC performance which I dunno is any good or not for chevys, but it doesnt dual exit like I would like to have. It seems to have caught on in the 4th gen f bodies.

Then there is the Borla which is pretty good on the f-bodies too but I have no idea as far as how they are on trucks.
I am wanting something that is very very aggressive when you are on it and the drone going down the interstate wont be that big of a concern because I have had much worse. Thats why I was looking at the flowmaster, I know those 40 series are aggressive but I dont want to lose any power.
Thanks,
Mack

From what I have heard, MAC is crap. I don't have that exact flowmaster kit on my truck, but I have the same muffler and it sounds good. Many will say other mufflers flow better for performance, like corsa and magnaflow. Don't know much about the borla though.

Would the dual setup be too free flowing and make me lose alot of that torque? Or is that only when you take the cats off?

From what I read Its not a True Dual system.
Its a single pipe into a dual outlet muffler.It looks like they got rid of the resonator that Flowmaster catbacks come with in the headpipe.
My BBTriflo utilizes dual 2.25 pipe and I didn't notice anyloss in low end.
It has a single 3" headpipe.

If you want the sound go for it.

For 209 how can you go wrong.
Unless they put salt on the roads in the winter and that exhaust would look like absolute **** after 3 months

Yea they salt the **** out of the roads here but I havent had any problems with them rotting out. I had them on my car and drove a couple winters without any problems. I havent really heard anything besides flowmaster that I like, but am open to new ideas. Would i lose low end torque if I was to put 2 40 series flowmasters on it and have tailpipes ran back to the back. Would putting an X-pipe in line help alot?
