mufflers

I see a great deal of discussion on this board and otheres regarding Flowmaster mufflers. Many dont like them and thinkl they have a tinny sound,which I am inclined to agree with. I would definitely regard Dynomax as being "better". I also see a lot of cherry bomb commercials and wonder what the hype is all about. My local jobber started carrying Thrush muffler as well.

Lets say you wanted the best flowing muffler out there. What would you choose?

How about a compromise between quite and performance?
