Default Magna flow vs dynomax

I have BBK LTs with ORY and a dynomax turbo s cat back it was great at first but now it is almost as loud as the flow master I had before. Cops are starting to notice a loud choppy exhaust again My question is if I switch to magna flow will it get any better or do I need to find a stocker and run a cut out which I really don't wanna do.

Anything with long rubes and a ORY is going to be pretty loud with the exception of running the stock catback

I agree headers and ORY pipe will be loud with most catback. Magnaflow is pretty mellow. Check YouTube, I'm pretty sure someone is running the set up your looking for. That way you can hear it before you purchase one.

Magnaflow is definitely the more mellow of the two at idle especially.

If quiet is what you want, then go with the Magnaflow. Never been a fan of Magnaflow myself, but many are.

From what I've read, most people on this site seem to go with magnaflow, saying its tame and more quiet at idle but really opens up when you get on it.

I myself went with a cut out and stock catback, which I am very happy with. I really only close the cutout when I'm on the interstate or when I am coming home late and don't want to **** the neighbors off.

That being said, if I had to go with a catback, I would probably go with magnaflow or kooks TD.

Switched mine over to magnaflow for the same reason. Was running dynomax? before and was ungodly loud at idle and even worse at 80 on interstate. Mild at idle as stated above and nice growl when on throttle

I like my Magnaflow - At WOT it is plenty loud for my taste but idle slightly louder than stock. What I like the most is no drone in the cabin at any speed.

Magnaflows sound good and with quad tips look fantastic.
