A cut-off would fix that problem. I didn't like it even after switching from Hooker LT to Kooks and custom y with flowmaster merge and 4in I-pipe. Thank god they left the cut out because I was really disappointed. Cut-off is always open.

I know that it one of the most quite ones (thats why I bought it). It was okay in till I put the Kook's LT's on. I have a set of AFR 205's and a camshaft. (plus a little N2o) I know its just going to worse. I am looking for that stealth sound under normal driving. I would hate to put the stock SS muffler back on. What about the CME? any one?

Magnaflow is not too loud. It sounds good but not loud. I switched to TSP Rumbler to go with my Hooker Lt and ORY. Now it sounds the way I want! I'm selling the Magnaflow system I have, only had it a few months(stainless).

Depends on your mods and what you consider loud. With my setup it was very loud and raspy. I pieced together an SLP dual/dual to replace it and it's much better now.

I had it for about a week, and swap the catback out for a corsa setup. Definetly quiet by all means I think. I just have LTs,ORY and boltons and it was too quiet.

I just got the magnaflow with the dual quad tips...definatly quiet. Not much louder than stock. But I didn't want a cop magnet or **** the neighbors off either. I would like it a little louder though, hoping LT's and an ORY will fix that!

magnaflow is the quietest catback and simply the best

at least 95 % f-body owners prefer magnaflow

Well first of all, adding a CME shouldn't affect the sound level that much.
CME is just an exhaust tip system. (It does look awesome though.)

If you installed an ORY swap it for a catted Y. That should lower your
exhaust sound level somewhat. If you already have cats then I don't
really know what to tell you.

I clicked on this link and honestly thought I'd find someone complaining that their Magnaflow was too loud.

As stated, it is definitely one of the quietest catback options for the F-body.
