Help me pick a muffler

Im goin to the muffler shop in the next couple of weeks to get my old rusted out muffler taken off. I cant deside wat kinda muffler to put back on though. I have a 22re and the muffler goin on will be a single in duel outlet kinda deal. opinions please.

if you want sound go with flowmaster. if you want power go withe magnaflow.. the power difference will be about 2hp..... you decide..

i had a flowmaster on mine for about a year. sounded pretty good a little to quiet for my taste. i cut it off and put a 2 1/4 cherry bomb on it was loud and flowed good but i burned all the packing out in like 4 months so i cut that off and now im running a side pipe with no muffler really really loud but i like it. my next will be a magna flow for sure

i doubt you would have a gain period with any muffler on a 22re...maybe more throttle response..but not much hp..maybe like .5 or 1 hp lmao

i vote cherry bomb extreme man. its a single chamber muffler that is cheaper and louder than a flowmaster and much deeper imo. it also has a single in dual outlet. i have this on my v6 and love it

i say try a magna flow the one thats straight through not the turbo one.
i dont even consider flowmasters to be a performance muffler have you see whats in them?! there and chambers and baffles everywhere you can get the the same thing with a thrush chamber welded for half the cost. i bought a flowtech raptor muffler for $22.99 and it flows just as good as the rest of them.

ya the cherry bomb extreme is basically the same thing as a flowmaster but its only has 1 chamber in it. most flowmasters have 2. the cherry bomb extreme is also only 8". i love it on my truck has a very nice tone to it and its decently loud. not as loud as glasspacks or straights but you still get noticed. lol

ive got a free flow Flowmaster on my 88 22re and the power is good. sounds good and deep but not real loud. i had a straight pipe for a while and that was nice and loud but some jerk reported a "puff of smoke" at dmv and it had to pass inspection so i had to put a muffler on it.
