I love Magnaflow mufflers and Dynomax or any turbo muffler really. I want deep until I romp on it. My biggest problem is I can't get anything thinner than 4" in a muffler that I like. Going one inch thinner really would make a big difference in ground clearance. So, I'm going to experiment and build my own with the goal of making a deep sounding muffler. If I mess up, oh well. It may work in my favor. Won't know if I don't try.

Thanks, Greg.

Loved my glasspacks when I was 16-21... My buddy and I both had early 80's Monte Carlos with dual side exhaust. Mine had a 327, his had a 454. We raced around this tiny little Iowa farm town at who knows what time at night. Then we got the hell out of dodge.

My car-related youth was around 5.0 Mustangs. A B303 cam with 2 chamber Flowmasters is music to my ears. My DZ302 had a Flowmaster exhaust but the new motor will have Magnaflow. I hope I like it. I still like my old set up with the Flowmaster mechanical/marbles-in-a-can sound:
