My tiny flowmaster 40 series is alot quieter than I thought it would be. For some reason on my truck I love the sound but on other vehicles I hated the flowmasters. I may end up adding another muffler or swapping to a corsa touring but I'm really pleased with the way it sounds. I can drive around incognito with a low idle and slight rumble but it gets regoddamndiculous once I'm at wot. I can't believe how much power I gained with the longtubes and efans, some dude tried racing me in a denali xl with some whack ass wheels the other day and I pulled away like he was standing still. Pretty sure the few press bends in my new system are much less restrictive than the huge dents I put in the magnaflow, still have no idea why that thing droned so bad but highway driving was just ridiculous and it kept getting worse. I'll drive this thing all summer and see how I feel, probably end up with a corsa and 3.5" mandrel but I like setting off car alarms for the time being. What really stumps me is the past few vehicles I've had magnaflows and they sounded great with zero drone, hoping it was a bunk muffler or something.

I realize that my man! I want to ADD a 14", not replace the 24" with a 14"... i want to hop under and see if i have room to add another 14" magnaflow, but that will only be when i get the LT's, i like the sound right now...
hey Max, you say your Magnaflow droned like a mufuker before you got the LT's? i cant remember, do you have a cam? What size muffler did you run? Weird that it was super loud, I was pretty impressed with how little my muffler droned and how quite it is!! (although i still wouldnt mind it to be a little quieter) However, i only replaced the muffler, didnt do a full exhaust setup, not sure how much louder that will make things...
Jenna, was the corsa MUCH quieter then the magna? i was thinking about just adding a second, 14", magna to quiet it up after the LTs

I am not sure that a second Magna will quiet it down for you.
Word I think a glasspack would help, cherry bombs have worked wonders for me in the past.

I have a stock cam btw. Hoping to leave the internals stock until I build a fun long block for this thing.

so you use a glass pack just before the muffler to quiet the thing down? I would have guessed that adding a second magnaflow would quiet it up pretty good though... interesting

I'll see what I can do. It is hard here in VA with the laws and the way the roads are set up. But we might go to the track this weekend....

I had the Corsa Touring on my Stock 05 Tahoe. Very quiet. Amazing since the muffler, while being a huge round thing, was perfectly straight through with a few rings of holes inside it. I can't imagine how it is so quiet, but it was great for power and responsiveness.
So I would say the Corsa Touring has 2 applications:
1) You want more power, responsiveness, mileage, but don't want it obvious that you changed exhaust.
2) You've done other mods like high flow cats and headers and you want to get it back down to reasonable levels and no drone.

Okay, I know jack here and only have experience with one muffler so its all I know, but FWIW, here ya go.
A friend wanted to dual out his '98 RAM. The guy at the local muffler shop told himhe'd be glad to do it, it was his money, but he could also go to a 3" pipe and a Spintech Sportsman XL for cheaper and get the same benefits. He liked it so I did the same to my '98 RAM with the 5.2. $200 out the door with 3" pipe from the cat back. I think I noticed a little SOTP diff. It does sound better. It's not too loud but has a nice tone at idle and a nice tone under acceleration but it's not obnoxious. Anyway,that's my limited experience. If I had the change I'd put one on my '**.
