i wanna hear peoples opinions on these two mufflers sound wise...i no i am going to have a custom job done but i wanna hear peoples opinions in general...i do like louder but a good sounding loud...i have heard flowmaster is for trucks but i know some people on this forum have them so tell me what you think of them

also i am probably just going to take my muffler off for now...how does the rex sound with no muffler?...i no it is not going to sound like a '67 mustang or anything...but how loud will it get?

I do not have a muffler on mine(it was broken off when the car was given to me). Havent liscensed the vehicle yet, so i have not replaced it. Sounds pretty good actually. Not very loud at all...a little deeper than stock.

The engine in my CRX race car was built by a guy who has several rac engine credits to his name, and he uses Magnaflow exclusively. Consequently, that's what mine has on it.

I had a Flowmaster 50 series, the quieter ones, and it gave me good flow and power. But......., the noise was so unbearable, we chopped it off and got a Summit Racing turbo muffler. I swear it dropped off a couple horsepower, but that's the price for drivability.

I have a Dynomax Super turbo round 6' x 14" x 2" and a Catco high flow catalic converter with stainless steel madrel bend tubing and it sounds very very good.
The Dynomax is not made out of stainless steel but the material is pretty good.
Dynomax= $40
Catco= $60
You can get these stuff at Summit racing

I drove mine for 2 weeks w/ out a muffler and it was loud. ran great though.
I put on a magnaflow and it lost power and really muffled the noise. now I can barely hear my car. I was used to the race muffler that it previously had on there.

i love the flowmasters on my 91 mustang! Great sound
