I'm sorry but I don't agree. I've been around a LONG time and have heard many different type mufflers on our cars in person. Borla's sound really good. I rank them 2nd. I had Borla's when SCd and turbo'd. Little deep but not too loud. Too bad they are expensive.
The Hooker Max Flows are to me the best sounding for the 3800. Sound great from idle to cruise to WOT. Now since I'm turbo'd the Max Flows won't be as loud if I still had the SC but I can't see them sounding bad. Over time they have gotten a little deeper which I'm happy they did.
