Muffler fight!!
Not really, but now that you're here.
I've been wanting to add a good aftermarket muffler to the Ranger and not sure which one to get. The mufflers I'm looking at are Flowmaster, Magnaflow, and Borla mufflers. I've heard good things and not so good things about some of them. I've been checking them out on Youtube and just don't know. Is there one that doesn't sound so ricey at higher rpms?
I'm not sure how to setup a poll. But I would like to know what muffler you guys like best and why. Throw in some comparisons to other mufflers if you've got em.
Thanks.

Best magnaflow videos I've found so far:

I'd post some for Flowmaster, but I just can't get over that horrible fart-can sound when you rev it. I love them at idle but that's about it from the stuff I've seen.

I've seen Shane's and other people's videos and they sound good up until they start reving it up. Maybe if I heard one in perosn it would change my opinion.

From my experience, out of the mufflers i had on my 2000; The flow 40 series dumped si/so sounded less raspy, a 40 series dumped si/do was deeper sounding, and the Borla ProXS si/do was the best mixture, nice deepness at idle, quieter when crusing- but when you got on it, it really woke up (Not raspy at all, had a deep mellow sound). Not to mention I noticed a slight better throttle response from the borla. I've heard really good things about magnaflow as well, but if you are wanting more sound, my vote goes for the Borla. Are you wanting to run "dual exhaust" or any tips at all?

You do realize that my vid had no turndowns what so ever right? just straight out the muff...so soundwaves bouncing everywhere.
clanking around in my vid, you can hear the turndowns clanking on my floor board. i put em on later that evening. and its quiet inside. add tailpipes out the back and my vid would sound completely differnet inside the cab.
every muff i'd had on my truck would sound like junk with revvved up there. it's a given thing...it's a damn v6! it's gonna sound half way rice, and half way beefy. lol.
