My RH kit for JLO has Flowmaster 40's. Brand new in a box. I've had flowmasters on other cars including my suburban and I don't like the resonance. I want a deep mellow sound for my hot rod.

RH says Magnaflow or Borla's are nice and don't have the harmonic distortion in the car.

Anyone care to weigh in on opinions?

SBC 350 with RH headers.

Thanks,

Bill P.

I'm happy with Magnaflows. Mellow sound at idle, no resonances, yet sounds aggressive when time to show off. Use these with wrapped headers, about all you hear cruising highway is wind noise.
