no mufflerchange alone will ever gain you a "greal deal" of horsepower...say you had alot of headwork done, so you had a great deal of need for high exhaust flow, maybe then, but not on a stock truck

RE: Magnaflow or Flowmaster or....
Yeah a decent aftermarket muffler might reduce exhaust flow restriction a little bit but I doubt you would get any noticeable gains. they sounds cool though! My vote goes for Magnaflow. Flowmasters are just old school and IMO overrated. Ironically, they don't actually even flow that well. I think they are still milking their popularity from an era when just about anything aftermarket was an improvement over OEM. OEM has come a long way though. If you really want to improveflow and sound, headers and a real exhaust system, with larger diameter piping and minimal bends, all mandrel, i the way to go. However even after spending all that money, you would most likely only see a few horsepower (<15) gains on a dyno, which usually reanslates into even less on the butt dyno. If your exhaust is rusted or badly dented though, I'd take it as a good excuse. Cause even if you don't gains much, there's certainly nothing wrong with a freer flowing in and out engine with a nic throaty note.
