Flowmasters will be way louder and throatier than magnaflows. Flowmaster doesn't have a cat back available for our cars that I'm aware of. I have a custom 3inch exhaust into a 2.5inch y and 2 flowmaster deltaflow 40 series mufflers with flowmaster 4 inch stainless tips. Its LOUD as hell. I love it and get lots of compliments on it. No cat or resonator either. You will lose a little low end power but gain it up top. I wood go with a custom flowmaster set up personally. My setup out flows magnaflow's catback setup guaranteed. Go with the flows. You'll like em better!

I have magnaflow for a more subtle rumble. It really sounds once you get to 2k-3k RPM though.

The Magnaflows have a nice sound, but you sound like you'd be very happy with Flowmasters.
