I have a 2001 WS6. I had my car dynoed with the magnaflow cat back, shaner s3 throttle body, BG ram air and an air lid with K & N filter and put down 325 hp and 340 tq. Not sure what the magnaflow gave me but I was happy with the numbers.

When I bought my car it had the Magnaflow already on it. It has a nice sound but is too quiet. So I cut off the muffler and ran one tip to the back bumper. Now its nice and loud.
