Default magnaflow

thinking about putting one on my 1998 firebird. Just wondering if someone can tell me what magnaflow sounds like from the interior at idle, under acceleration, and wide-open. I just don't really want much more interior sound. I have 1999 6.0 silverado with dual 18" glasspacks and there is just to much interior noise sounds great on outside but just to much. anyways I don't want to make the same mistake again I will probably put dual in dual out on my truck also. So tell me how your fbody magnaflow sounds.

My Magnaflow catback is very mild at idle, yet really opens up nicely at WOT. Also, since its not an extremely loud exhaust to begin with--it sounds great with headers

I LOVE IT!,

At idle very deep note, not overly loud,
acceleration-nice deep rumble
WOT- yea now she is talking and yet this is the only time I can really hear it in the cabin at all, and then it is not overbearing at all, just
a nice little roar from a big cat. Really I have more tire noise from my F1's than from my magnaflow by a long shot.

I agree will all previous statements. I have been more than pleased with my Magnaflow. The sound is 'exactly' what I was looking for- louder than stock but not tooloud. But when you get on it... awesome. And the quality is great.
