Default magnaflow or flowmasters? help me spend my $!

alright, i'm only going to do the mufflers, not the whole cat-back. my priorities are #1 performance, #2 sound quality, #3 not excessive interior drone.
Should I go magnaflow or flowmasters, and if flowmasters, which series?
Also, should i delete the resinator while I'm at it?
BTW, i'm also going to do the K&N CAI unless anyone has another cost similar suggestion?
Thanks for the input!

I vote magnaflow for performance and less drone.

I think flowmasters sound better, but magnaflows definitely flow better

I have the full magnaflow exhaust on my car and had a drone from 1500-2500 rpm. I called and complained and they pretty much responded to me like I was a retard because I would complain about such a thing. "What do you expect from a high performance exhaust?" Was their response. Ended up putting on a longer resonator and the drone is tremendoulsly reduced. I had flowmasters back in the day with the same problem...

I have a cat back magnaflow and hate it...way too much drone. If I had to do it all over again I would of keep the stock exhaust and added a electric cut out

do you have the resonator or did you delete it?

where are you located? maybe we could meet in the middle somewhere at a muffler shop and swap exhausts!
