Magnaflow Exhaust
Today I went to one of the best muffler shops around to see if they could get any good deals on some mufflers. All he can really get is Flowmaster or Magnaflow (it mostly a domestic shop). I've never heard a Magnaflow. Anyone know how they sound? Do they sound like the typical rice boy's fart can?

Far from it, but you'll definately get more performance gain from an exhaust made for your car.

I also asked the guy if he does mandrel bending, and he said he uses pressure bending. He said I wouldn't notice a difference with performance if I did mandrel or his way.

i think that an 3.5 inch N1 sounds good as **** on a 240 .... you can buy the N1 style mufflers on ebay for like 50-60 dollars ... sound just as good ... just have the muffler shop take out the res.

The muffler isn't the only factor in what your car sounds or drives like. Pipe diameter, catalytic converter, resonators, and headers will all impact it. PLUS! People's opinion on what sounds good differs. You won't get much worthwhile opinion asking people about the sound of their custom exhausts, you need to hear the sound clips.
Y'all seem to have really frikkin' huge piping (2.7 - 3"), do you have turbochargers (another thing that will greatly impact sound)? Heck, I don't think I'd do more than 2.25" on my n/a KA. . .
