Do they make a LOUD magnaflow?

I have a dynomax bullet on my truck right now and i bought a hooker aerochamber to swap on when i install my pacesetters and O/R y-pipe but im thinking about going with something else. I dont want to use the bullet because i know without cats, it will drone like no other since thats what i had on my old truck with no cats. I like that the magnaflows have the stainless cases on them but i also want my exhaust to be LOUD with a nice meaty sounding tone to it! From what i remember, the magnaflows sound nice but are a little more on the quiet side.

My other options are borla, magnaflow, spintech or hooker aerochamber. I love the corsa but dont really have $800 to spend on a damn cat-back so ill probably just get the muffler and have it dumped.

The smaller the case is the louder it will be. The smallest ones are 4" round. That would most definately be LOUD.

That would probably be the one i would get if i did go with a magnaflow. How would it sound do yall think with the LT's and O/R y-pipe? I just want something that is going to give the truck a nice meaty and aggressive sound. Hell, i may just get the bigger case so it will be quieter and just run an electric cutout as well so i can have fun when i want it to be loud but also have a nice sounding and tolerable truck when i want to keep the noise down a little.

BTW, Sorry, im not trying to post ***** here, just asking some detailed questions about the magnaflow.

Any other muffler you guys think would be better sounding than a magnaflow? I want something that will be good for performance but also sound very nice and aggressive. It will DEFINTELY have to be something that will not drone too bad! Id like to get the Corsa but i havent brought myself to spend that much on a cat-back yet.

Hooker

I've heard the Spintech's and like them too. If I were going to go with something other than Hooker, that would be the one.

I have a set of 1 3/4 pacesetters with dual pipes(no cats) and just installed a di/do magnaflow. It sounds great at idle,but it's too loud for me under power. This is one of the smaller magnaflows at only 11 inches of packing. I'm considering trying out the mac flowpath mufflers. i just want it to be a little different.
