had flowmasters on my 03 GT, dronned like a mother... they were mean as hell though. I have magnaflows on my 05 (not the magnapacks though) and im really enjoying them... They are QUIET AT CRUISING SPEED, but just as loud as my flowmasters ever were on my 03 at WOT.

Glad to hear that the Magnaflow system does not have a drone to it. I have the Cat-back system coming (to be delivered Saturday). From what I have read about the Magnapack and SLP systems - they can be very raspy and downright obnoxious..

The slp system sounds great as long as the rest of the exhaust is stock. I had the slp first and loved it but when I added a bassani catted-x it sounded like an overgrown ricer. I am back to the stock muffs for now until i can fab up a system that I like.

I doubt it since there's still only 1 exhaust valve.

The difference you're hearing on the 05's is because of the placement of the muffler compared to previous years.

BTW I have 40 series welded in and they sound very good. However they do drone arund 1800 RPM's. I can live with it for now.
