Default SLP powerflo vs. Magnaflow videos?

Alright I think a narrowed it down now between these two cat backs. I am wanting to see some videos of a HCI car with one of these systems. I have been searching day after day and its hard to find a full exhaust HCI car vid with one of these systems. Ive looked on youtube and ls1sounds but lets face it, ls1 sounds is getting out dated and I'm tired of waiting 5 mins to see if a video will upload or not.

My current setup is in my sig and it is just way too loud and raspy with a stall converter. The other night I had my buddy drive it and I followed in his stock TA just to hear my car and it sounds bad ***, until you get about 2k rpm then it starts crackling and popping and it just sounds like ****! Not to mention I get too much attention. Now I don't want it to be so quiet its stock, in fact I don't care that its loud, its just the fact that it starts cackling and popping and sounds like **** above 2k rpm. I just want a nice deep muscley tone(yeah I said muscley).

I have stainless steel OBX headers one the way with a catted Y-pipe but I don't think the cats in this Y will help much b/c I went with the cheaper cats. I would like to replace everything so my full exhaust is stainless steel.

So if you have a HCI car, or even just cammed, with one of these two exhaust systems please post up your videos! Id like to see idling, revving, and drive-bys at WOT if at all possible.

I would also like to have input on personal experiences with either of these two systems if you have them.

Here is my car racing at a car show against a stock TA so the only car you can here is mine:

Here is a video of my car at idle with revs:

Thanks!

haha its all good. But like i said I dont know if those cats will help much. My headers will be here friday so I am wanting to put them on with my current cat back to see how or if that catted why will change the sound at all.

Of corse no camera can make a car sound just like it will in real life but you can at least get a idea of the kind of rasp it makes. I love the way my car sounds at idle and below 2 grand rpm but above it just sounds like **** and cheap. Which it was cheap lol I just want a deeper tone.

I dont have vids man, but on mine its a full 3" stainless with an X pipe thru two 3in/out magnaflows. I sounds very nice, a bit quiet but enough to feel the cam thumping. At WOT its way louder and has a bit of a corvetteish sound to it.
hope this helps ill try to get vids.

I know you have tons of videos already but is there any chance I chould get you to do one with drive bys and reving through the whole system? Cut out closed since I wont have a cut out on mine?

Also how was the fitment? I have a friend that said he put it on a SS for a guy and he couldn't get it to fit worth a ****. maybe just a bad kit idk

I think your the first person I've seen that says they hate magnaflow! But I'm glad! I have a buddy that had a SS with a 6.0 and big cam and he thought the magnaflow was too quiet on his car. Idk. Like i said, I will have cats to help quiet things down.. hopefully. Im going to put on my new headers and Y with my old catback and see how or if it changes it.

I may not be doing the GMMG after all. Even with the extra "muffler" in the I pipe it will probably still be too raspy.
