I had a Flowmaster.

I replaced it with an Arospeed muffler after one week, the reason being the Flowmaster's sound was too weak. I don't think they work well at all with the VQ.

Thats funny you say that because the Stillen Muffler is a rebadged flowmaster muffler. I think my Stillen Flowmaster is well suited for my car. I am installing dual{Stillen} flomasters next week!

I like my Magnaflow. Nice, deep, throaty sound. Not too loud. Shouldn't attract the wrong kind of attention.

Sounds real good if he's going to use mandrel bends. Sounds so-so if he's going to use crush bends UNLESS the cost includes a stainless steel tip. Then it's OK.
