Default Need more power!

I was thinking of putting a magna flow or flow master on my jeep to add power. I have three questions..Which is better? Do these void the warranty? Will I feel the power on the freeway? Thanks for any help!

Can find the waving happy face! sorry.

It really doesn't matter which one you get. No it won't void your warranty. No you will not feel the difference on the freeway. Anybody that says it is a big improvement is full of crap. You get a placebo effect because of the noise but you won't get any reall help.

personally i tried a flowmaster, and it didn't sound too great, so i put stock back on... now i'm running a borla and love the sound, and really DO notice a difference. On the freeway i don' t have to downshift as much ( i have a manual tranny) and can spin the tires a lot easier now. I was running a jet chip Stage 2 for a while and was able to chirp the tires into second. the chip is out right now getting replaced under its warranty. during the time its been otu now is when i installed the borla, and i can chirp into second again. i wouldn't say there are huge power gains from the borla alone, but there are definately some. My personal reccomondation would be an intake, a jet chip or unichip and a borla. i'm very happy with this setup.

it may not be a huge improvement, but it will be one.........you cant tell me that the giant stock muffler flows as good as an aftermarket one.

I have a k&n and it is no different. Only louder. Most will say it is a great improvement, they are only trying to justify the wasted money.
