Better sound (IMO) would be Flowmaster between those three choices. Would sound are you after, though? It's all subjective from person to person what sounds better.

You just need a muffler to get the sound you`re looking for.

Just make sure not to listen to the constant lies posted by naive people about flowmasters causing power loss and stating that it`s dyno proven when i have never seen anyone actually post the proof.

Here`s a link to a muffler comparison test done on a dyno. The test is done with a mustang but it gives a good idea of the differences between the brands.

I have a flowmaster cat back system with a 50 series muffler and i could immediately feel a noticeable gain in the mid to upper rpm range.

As far as any noticeable mpg increase or off the line power, you won`t feel much.

You can accomplish that with just a muffler. IMO flowmaster 40 series mufflers have the best deep, loud rumble but I'd do some research on YouTube to determine what muffler gives you exactly the sound you want....

i say get a flomaster super 44 but its not street legal (says race purposes only) but i had one on my xl and loved it also felt a noticable power gain on the upper rpms. i had mine mounted up-side-down so you couldn't see the super 44 on it.

i think flowmasters are the biggest joke ever they sound like crap imo and dont do much. just get a magnaflow. i have 1 on my hoe amd it is the perfect sound low deep rumble loud at wot and not annoying cruising. sometimes i dont even turn radio on just roll down windows and listen to the ponies not that i have many haha

Magnaflow 13259 XL. 33 bucks from amazon.

Best muffler you'll ever own. Mean growl at startup and when you get on the gas.

NO drone at cruising speeds.

Trust me, my wife likes it, and she normally hates loud exhausts.

Will this work on a 03' Yukon Denali xl? My stock muffler is 1 in and 2 out...

Yes it will work. They simply cut off my y-pipe and welded on a section of straight pipe.

I got ***** on the price of installation, but it should only cost you about $50 to $80.

Less than 100 bucks out the door ain't half bad.

Until You can prove that some aplication have not lost power with a particular muffler, you cant say its not possible.

When I get around to pulling the crap mufflers I just put on mine off. I will be going with Duel Spintech's.
As advised by Black bear.. Justin seems to like them alot...

Never been a big fan of the flowmaster, had one for a week once and swapped it for a magnaflow that brought back the power. I lost all mid torque with the flowmaster, sounds loud which would have gotten annoying but that's just me. I also had a gibson header and complete exhaust that lasted me over 150k miles until I sold the truck. Sounded good, not too loud but when you got on it, you could tell it had an exhaust.
