I looked at the FlowMasters but ultimately went with MagnaFlows. The FlowMasters were too raw for me and the MagnaFlows were toned down a bit. I thought the FlowMasters did sound kind of like a Mustang Cobra - cool if that's what you are looking for though. I posted videos of my set up on You Tube:

For the record I have no resonators including the little one in the middle with straight pipes to the MagnaFlows. I am using OEM Y-pipes.

The difference between this set up and what I did initially was not much in terms of sound level - only tone. Before I had stock mufflers with no resonators in the middle.

Adding the MagnaFlows really made it deeper - doesn't sound like an M5 or a Mustang - not sure what to compare it to but I like it now.

Picking a muffler is tough - I used this link to assist in choosing:

Crazy difference from mine Pure - I am still using factory Y-Pipes and 2.250 piping to the MagnaFlows. Can't believe your X-Pipes make that difference - you can hear it bigtime

This has turned into quite an interesting thread!! I am very into exhausts, all my vehicles have, and past vehicles have had aftermarket set ups on them. I have a 1990 Mustang 5.0 bored out to a 306 with 10 series flows dumped, and a 1988 5.0 with 40 series flows... I will agree that the 4.0 in the LS RESEMBLES in few ways to the 5.0 in the stangs. Has that smoothish, yet harsh sound ( contradicting? haha) when exhausts are pretty open.
for example:

Currently I deleted the rear muffs on my LS, but I plan this summer on getting some not-so-agressive flows with some tip flush tips.

our 4.0s can sound really nice, and since I love my cars LOUD, it's hard for me to go with a quiet yet powerful exhaust on my car. The muffler delete is just not enough!!

Insaltes - yours sounds different from even Pure's and mine. It sounds like it is ready to pick a fight - awesome coming from the LS.

Pure, we should create a thread with all the exhaust videos we can find bro. Or maybe add it to the one you created showing different mods, etc.

I am going to make some other videos of mine to see if I can get a better sound reproduction since the ones I have don't do it justice.

steveski

Since we have hijacked your thread pretty good now maybe you have some good ideas?

Check out the you tube link showing the 1UZFE compilation. I almost bought the Apexi brand but they were so much more money than the MagaFlows.

That isn't my video I just found it on YouTube... it is a member is this forum though... phatom86 I think? or something like that.

steveski

Ah I see - thanks bro - post yours

Iansaltes

I would, but compared to yours it would be embarrassing!! I only removed the rear mufflers, nothing special. Hopefully I'll have a new exhaust set up by summer... kinda low on $$ right now, I got 2 tickets to pay for totalling just about $900. (no comment, I plead the 5th!!)

Back to exhaust sounds. I wonder if anyone here can replicate the sound of an idling Ferrari V-8. That nasty, snarly sound like the 430 Scuderia.

Good stuff --

I like this setup, hard to ignore the turbo whine, but it is the deep tone of the 1UZ that makes this engine have so much potential either way.
