I agree that the flowmaster sounded best in the video. It is slightly deeper at idle than the magnaflow but the two are very close. Maybe it had something to do with the pipe hanging down and the angle at which it was recorded vs the magnaflow. Of course hearing a video and hearing in person, are two different things. I wonder what a delta flow super 40 flowmaster would sound like?

The muffler is more protected, as it sits closer to the frame and lower control arm. It is just above the bottom of the frame rail.

Every time I test a muffler, I have to buy it new, then sell it as used. I just can't afford to test every one.

You may get lucky on this one. Today, I've got an install on a JK with the Gibson Catback system on it. Time permitting, I'll tape it.

You buy the Muffler Relocation kit and Evap Can Relocation kit and I'll throw the Steering Stabilizer relocation kit in for free.

That's $365 plus some shipping for all three.

what magnaflow muffler is that. What the part number, I would just like to replace the stock one with it, in the same location for now. As long as its tuck up I wont have any issues with it.
