videos do no justice and are NOT a sufficient way to judge the sound of a setup and definitly not a good way to say that one brand is better than another.
Sounds more like Jiffy pop, but yea, some of them do stink.

The Bullet is wrapped and ran with perforated tubing. It is an "advanced glasspack' you could say. See my sig.
well with the exception of things like high flow cats and whatever is that you have done to yours again cause i dont remember exactly. On a truck like mine that never came with cats? yes that is the best sounding exhaust. i posted another thread on hear of a vid of bullets run on a 390 also, and it sounded like crap, so i'm glad i didn't buy them.

i subscribed to your youtube years ago so ive seen the vids. ndubb1. your truck is nice

ive watched and commented on that thread that you posted you exhaust on. i'm pretty sure you still have everything from factory before the muffler? its not gonna be as aggressive as straight header to pipe out the back like mine. ive heard flowmasters and straight throughs on old v8s like mine in person with headers, pipe, and mufflers and no more. flowmaster sounds better. i stated somewhere in one of these threads that straight throughs like magnaflow dont sound all that great on a stock engine from years ago like my 390, unless it is built up and revs out the ***

Best sounding stock engine I ever had was a 409 with cherry bombs.

I'm with hardrock, I installed my old Magnaflow on a 351 and it didn't sound as good as it did on the 5four. Also k41964 mentioned cherry bombs. With headers they sounded great on just about anything way back when.

To each their own.

I want mufflers to sound good while at idle and part throttle, WOT I just want free breathing.

Nothing sounds better than open headers at WOT, but who could live with the racket driving down the freeway, not me.
