Plenty of domestics have flowmasters, mustangs especially. I work at the drag strip at the local track, and I don't see many Borla on many cars at all. I like Borla and magnaflow. I just want something that sounds a little deeper and meaner than the typical evo exhaust

The Flowmaster Advantage
Flowmaster vs. "straight-through" muffler designs
First you need to understand the technology of a "straight-through" muffler design. "Straight-through" muffler designs utilize a packing material wrapped around a piece of perforated tubing to absorb sound as its traveling through the muffler. This internal tubing is generally reduced as it enters the inlet of the muffler to help achieve a further reduction of sound as its exiting the muffler, smaller hole, less sound. At the same time this creates a further restriction for hot exhaust gases traveling through the mufflers.
Why should I buy a Flowmaster?
Since Flowmaster mufflers use sound energy cancellation technology, you don't have to worry about "packing material" deteriorating and getting louder after as little as a few months.
The interior case volume of the inside of a Flowmaster muffler is far superior to that of a "straight-pipe" or "straight-through" muffler design. Imagine filling a "straight-pipe" or "straight-through" muffler with water vs. filling a Flowmaster muffler with water. Which one do think would hold substantially more volume?
The deflector in a Flowmaster muffler acts as a one way check valve eliminating reversion back to the engine and creates a low pressure area to help scavenge the exhaust.
Flowmasters unique style of H-Chamber designs help control interior resonance inside the cab area of your vehicles. "Straight-through" muffler designs cannot.
Flowmasters use fully welded construction for added strength and durability to last even when installed on high horsepower engines.
Flowmaster mufflers are made in the U.S.A.

^I find that a little difficult to swallow. They make too many generalizations there, assuming that all straight through mufflers are "restrictive." I guarantee if you look through any of the big name mufflers, they have the same size through the muffler, that they do through the rest of the exhaust system.
With their "baffling" system there has to be a reduction in exhaust gas speed, thereby increasing backpressure. Volume doesn't necessarily dictate flow. The above is just an advertising tactic trying to justify an sub-par muffler system.

now, "Carry on" with more of your annoying comments.

I corrected two misinformed people, that's all. I believe you would agree that there have been TBE's on EVO's that have produced a 30awhp gain on a dyno? Let's keep your answer in tune with what you want, talk relevant to this topic. Regards.

That being said, my old roommate Charlie had a Borla exhaust and a Z06 intake on his LS1 engine is his Z28 camaro, and it was very nice. He had that, subframe connectors, a short shifter and a UFSTB, and ran 12.2's. Not too shabby.

YES...
BINGO!

I don't think you corrected nothing. There was already a shootout for the exhausts (12) and of course greddy TI made the most power.
I've made more than 30 whp with a custom TBE with modified magnaflow exhaust.
The key is not the brand, but the design. Straighter pipe, no cat, straighter through muffler design without the louver. That's been the key for the longest time for the FI cars. Obviously sound is determined by sometimes the pre-resonator, the packing material of the muffler and the construction of the muffler and others.
But once you get to the N/A cars, I think it's a lot different.
But I just didn't understand why you would open your mouth and blur out things without explaning yourself, where without a doubt give you no credibility.
That was my point to you.
Here is something that may help you out.
