I have had hooker and magnaflow and in my opinion the hooker sounds much better and MUCH deeper. Not to say that the magnaflow is a bad sounding system, I like it on stock manifolds and cats, it sounds nice and clean on my sisters SS... Now ive been riding with a LM2 for a while and I personally think it sounds mean as hell but its all personal opinion... As for the clamp complaints on the magnaflow get it all welded... Its the best way to go for sure.
dude, thats what ive been saying!! hooker has a good deep, muscular sound. magnaflow is too quiet. sounds good. but, im going with Duals or Hooker catback...

lol I've been toying with selling it since I got it. I like the way it sounds but I'm not sure I want to keep it. When I buy the 6LE CME kit I'm going to make the decision because when the CME goes on, whatever cat-back is on there will probably never come back off.

IMHO, there isnt a better sounding catback system out there then the Magna Flow. I went 11's through the full exhaust with it, so it cant be half bad. That was on a pretty mild heads/cam setup.

I haven't heard a Powerflow in person but my GMMG sounds better than any Magnaflow I've ever heard. I'm not the typical GMMG nut swinger either; I like the LM1 a little better than anything else. That's my delimma; I got a good deal on my GMMG and it's the only thing that makes my car unique around here but damn I love a LM1.

^^^I have heard pretty much only positive things @ the GMMG, hence my question. All the systems are similarily (at least the stainless steel) priced. It is a good thing having so many to choose from, I just wish I could hear them in person! Personally, I think the GMMG or LM would be too loud for me, so the (advertised, at least) quieter tone of the Powerflo (or Magnaflow) piqued my interest! Thanks for your honest evaluation!

definitely take GMMG, Hooker catback or Duals over magnaflow..
magnaflow is okay. great quality cuz its stainless steel. but it is quiet.

I got the Magnaflow because it sounds nice, no drone, and the cops dont bother me if i'm not getting on it.

I've had my MagnaFlow exhaust for just about a year now. I went with the dual/dual tips. Installed just fine at a friends house. Mine doesn't rub or any of that other stuff mentioned. Fit and finish was top notch. It has a nice mellow tone and overall just sounds right no matter what RPM I am driving at. I have it with stock manifolds. I use to have the Loudmouth for many years, just wanted something quieter and nicer looking.
Never did care for the standard Magnaflow with the just the two tips....they look like cannons sticking out from the rear of the car. The dual/dual MagnaFlow system cost a bit more, but I have no complaints with it what so ever.
