Well after asking around and listening to, I really like a Magnaflow. Hell I ordered one from Jegs about a week and a half ago that is going to be installed on my F-150...along with some Hooker Long Tubes!

Anyway...the Magnaflow is a really smooth mellow sound. Not too loud (depending on case size) but fairly stealthy, just what I am looking for.

I love my Magnaflows but what sounds good to me might not sound good to someone else.

Try a Quickflow if you like....

Look up the web site with the link in my profile. I picked up 2 tenth with mine and much more torque....

I'm running magnaflows also.My set up is pretty much the same as bigKID's.Duals with X-pipe dumped before the axle.Nice deep tone,no drone in the cab at hwy speeds.I'm real happy I went with the magnaflows.

I run borla 1 in and dual out. The system looks great but its not very loud. Also borla's systems are way over priced, yes it is all bolt up and mendral bent but I think if I was to do it again I would save 200 bucks and get a magnaflow or gibson. my .o2

i agree with sleek. i little too quiet. sounds like something is there, especially at WOT. looks great. but too much $$$. i lost some low end torque. that's why my yank will be installed soon my next truck i will definitely look at some cheaper options

I've got a 40 flowmaster dumped. I think it sounds great. It is loud in the cab, but I like that!

i only want to hear a little in the cab. i love music and hate to hear the drone of exaust mixed it. so are the magnaflows very loud inside?
