Magnaflow/Spintech/Mac, in order of overall awesomeness, all with an X and full tail pipes, and they all lived happily ever after, THE END.

Nope, haven't had Borla either...too damn expensive. I'd like to try Basani Real Streets but i hear they're insanely loud. I also haven't had Spintechs but i've heard enough of them to know that they're high on my list. I put Mac in there just because with a rowdy cam and an X pipe i think they're tough to beat for a nice all around sound....they're rumbly, they're raspy, kinda right in the middle (at least with an X they are). I'm in no hurry to swap out the Magnaflows though...i'm probably more in love with them than anything i've ran yet. When you stab the gas and it rips open, it just sounds like hell breaking loose. They're also one of the best sounding mufflers from an "in car" perspective that i've ever heard.

Really do you think thats the Catted midpipe making it quiet? Im afraid to put it back on my car because it will tone down the exhaust alot i think?

It must be the catted pipe, as I have heard them in person and the sound clips and her car is NOWHERE near as loud as ANY of them. Not even close. Her Flows were louder than the Pypes, and sounded MUCH better. I should have tossed them on my car with some turn downs first.

I really want to try either Stingers or the Bassani Race mufflers. Both muffler is over $100 a piece, and I remember the Borlas being something insane, like pushing $200 a muffler.
