the thrush 'welded' is the one familiar to the flowmaster, no baffles

Yes you are correct on the way they are built. however the way the sound is different the thrush welded is a cleaner tone. I didnt want a welded cause if you get them wet when there hot the welds holding the baffles break and the muffler is trashed.

Im not saying flowmasters come apart im saying the thrush ones do. Flowmaster and magnaflow are really nice mufflers but they cost more as to the $20 thrush the quality is not the same

the $20 thrush turbo isnt the same as a flowmaster, the thrush one that is similar to the flowmaster runs around ~$45-50

$30- http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

the $20 is the turbo, that has the baffles in it. the 'welded' is a chambered type muffler, no baffles

Im sorry i mispoke you are right it is a chambered muffler however the walls are welded onto the outer skin then the skin is rolled over and sealed. this is the way the flowmaster 40 and thrush welded mufflers are made. However the tubro does not have this so i dont have to worry about the chamber walls coming apart

I ran it out of the cat before putting the new muffler on and it was loud as hell and it sounded terrible. The new muffler is a little louder but it sounds better.

I will make a new thread with the sound clip and pics in a few mins.

Damn, I totally misspoke. I meant to say the Welded Thrush was similar to the Flowmaster. And the standard turbo was the cheap one... I'm a lame-o, my bad.
