yes. more loud than sflow.
there is slight different between sflow n straight flow. like u noe, sflow gives u more power on low or mid hp, mean while straight is d other way. if u change from sflow to vice versa, u can feel there is different although not much.
if goin for halfcut, better make sure its japang mali, wit jasma tag (ribet on d muffler).
kanasai lu... u kasi besar itu piping of course la... generally, for most car straight flow muffler pair best wit stock piping..
if u wan cheap n cheerful, kweng shop is d way to go..
topcat/matola etc hav better inner side quality.. generally, muffler in malaysia r universal.. MOST r 2" inlet...... so vry difficult to find smaller size..
well... it all depends on which school of tuning u r at. some school tune for most little resistance to exhaust flow, some tune for best sound wave pressure, n alot more schools..
generally, people will tune for little resistance to exhaust flow.. when u r this type of school, then using 2" muffler is better choice.
generally, resistance for straight flow muffler; -100cfm or below, resistance for sflow muffler; - cfm for inner diameter divide by 2. this is rough estimation based on more well known muffler..
cfm for different piping is here..

woot..
i came back after few weeks of tests for my exhaust. I installed PowerZone Extractor 421, Matola oval mid box (straight flow) and Matola S-flow muffler (big size) while maintains the stock piping. Sound-wise, i cant say more. Really silent, close to stock's sound, and a bit nice bassy sound when revving.
However, the result on my setup was quite a frustration to mine. I cant feel a lot of differences, oni a bit of pick up lower-mid (3.5k) rpm. Currently, it's getting better as my ECU relearned my driving style. Top speed? Weird case, i lost top speed. Cant reach 200kmh anymore. 185 topspeed at ~5.3k rpm. Cant go more. wtf
So, i went to see an old friend, a vtech formen which tried my car. He scared me till my pants off as he said that my driving style doesnt suit the s-flow muffler i bought, as for now the muffler itself has become the flow resistance and there's a chance that it will affect my HEAD, as the backpressure was too high.
Can anyone verify this? Do i really need to change my muffler to straight flow instead? Is there any straight muffler which can provide low frequency bassy sound instead od praaaangggggggg sound?
Thanks Sifus.
