The JBA is pretty much the accepted edge in performance over all the others. You have to decide what you want. Noise, or performance. It's all give and take. Banks is your noise bet. The Flowmaster 40 is also loud, but again, it doesn't give the best performance. There is no loudest that also leads the field in performance. It's an either/or thing. Pick your poisin. For my money, I'd go the JBA and take whatever extra bark that gives.A-Train 1119 said:I like the performance of the JBA, but to other exhaust how does it compare noise wise. Is it as loud as the flowmaster 40 series?
And does banks give you any better performance?
A.I.I.Raciing said:I don't believe the Zoomers and a glasspack are the same thing. A freeflow design such as Zoomers or Magnaflow is not quite like a glasspack. The Zoomers also subdues the "bark" with their patented anti-drone tip. So overall, the Zoomers will not be the loudest exhaust out there.Blackbeauty said:but I'd have to say hi-flo cats & bullet glasspacks...... :rofl:

Seeing how the Zoomers Exhuast is basically a glorified Glasspack, would this be the same thing?
One of the things that got me looking at the Titan was how bad *** a Titan in my old complex sounded. I'm still looking for that sound and I havent found it with my Zoomers just yet.
IIRC, the best gains were seen with the stock Y-pipe and a magnaflow muffler. Most reuse the stock Y-pipe. Some aftercats come with new Y-pipes. I think most mimic the stocker but flow smoother.A-Train 1119 said:So then if i use my stock y-pipe I wont loose low end power?
Not trying to start anything here but there are some of us swimming upstream that aren't following the lemming trail and making pretty good headway. The reason I'm posting this is to let everyone out there know that there may be more to performance than a particular brand and performance may have more to do with balance. I ran a 14.091 my last time out and own neither the JBA or other accepted performance mainstays other than the UpRev tune. I just want people to consider other products so that we will continue to see new parts for our trucks and that will only happen if we are willing to try them. BTW my muffler has nothing to do with loud so carry on gentleman.Carbeaux said:The JBA is pretty much the accepted edge in performance over all the others. You have to decide what you want.

It's hard to explain..............but exhaust gas velocity alsoUnderagedtitan said:I'm no expert on exhaust, but doesn't less back pressure mean that it's easier to get air to flow through? How can this hurt your low end torque?
