I had that magnaflow with the dual in/dual out and it was pretty quiet. Sounded good @ WOT throttle. But this was before headers too, so that may help. Oh its gonna be ungodly quiet to you compared to the flowmaster

To be honest with you I dont want anyhting stupid loud but when I get on it I want it to be heard! I just have a single in dual out Flowmaster 50 so it isnt exactly loud. Should I go with the 4X9 or the 5X8 or the 5X11. In all reality Im looking for performance but I want it to sound healthy!

I posted in that thread I would think it would be a good muffler, I have the 4x9x11, and its quiet on the highway, but I still have the cats and manifolds, but the cats will be taken care of soon.

obviously the bigger the size the more sound reduction
Id go with the larger one.

It will have a good sound to it. It will be different sounding, I liked mine that I had and it will provide geat power. Just don't expect much sound out of it except for at WOT. AT WOT it has an awesome sound to it. I would go with the smaller body though. It shouldn't be too loud. I even had mine dumped. AT highway speeds I could barely even hear it.
