Default Python vs Rinehart Slip-ons

&nbsp\\;Can someone tell me the difference between these two mufflers. I like both styles. I was just wondering why the Rineharts were so much more $$. Do they make more power? Are they better quality? Do they sound better? If not I was thinking on saving some cash and going with the cheaper Pythons.

Not sure&nbsp\\; if they are better but you may be able to listen to them on You Tube. Do a search for Rineharts ( I know they have these) and do a search for Pythons, Then you can at least compare the sounds. Just my .02 worth.

Rineharts you are paying for the name and the sound. Nothing wrong with the Pythons. They have a nice growl to them. But the Rineharts have a nice deep "thump thump thump" to them. No other exhaust out there sounds like 'em. That is what I went with.
