I have magnaflow with ORY and cut-out. I think it is nice to be quite sometimes.

I'd keep the duals if I were you, but the magnaflow is a nice muffler. I like mine, and it is fairly tame. It flows awesome, but it is kinda raspy. If I were you I would keep the duals, unless you want a quieter option. And then you I'll trade you

You are going to loose a lot of RWHP with the magnaflow.

Mikey at Rapid Motorsports dynoed a Magnaflow Exhaust vs a Cut-out and the Magnaflow lost .3 rwhp to the Cut-out. I love my Magnaflow Exhaust. It is cheap and good quality.

Nope, not quite. Duals may be a great exhaust, but going with a catback doesn't choke up the exhaust and lose as much power as some people think.

THIS would be the correct answer. There have been many dynos in various conditions that support this information. The general consensus is that Magnaflow loses only 1-2 HP at most to a cutout, seeing as it is one of the best-flowing catbacks on the market.

I like my Magnaflow with the LTs and ORY. Yeah, its raspy at times but its nice. It'll sound better once you get the converter in there. Without a converter its going to rasp more because of where the rpm's are during acceleration.

Just yesterday online, it was "Screw it, I'm keeping my duals!"

As for being quieter than duals, I think that's probably correct. But I still don't know that I'd say that it's quiet. If my car is started and is idling in the driveway, I can hear it from about 80 feet away while inside my house. It's got a GREAT idling sound to it from around the rear of the car: deep, even sounds cammed certain people thought.
