MAGNAFLOW. Their catbuck sounds so sweet on startup, nice and quiet at idle, and a screamer at WOT.

You have done a great thing cause magnaflow sounds just right and believe me you just saved some real disturbing noise by not buying the loudmouth!!!

Good choice. Give it time to break in and it should sound great.

don't count out the SLP 2otl i have had borla,and flowmaster,the borla had a "drone" to it when i was part throttle, and the flowmaster just never sounded right. i got the 2otl,it is quiet at idle,and part throttle,and sounds great when you get on it

corsa is quiter at idle, and has a higher pitch scream at WOT

I had one with a bullet in the I Pipe, and it was similar to stock at idle, but at wot it sounded badass

sold the catback, kept thetips
