The Magnaflow I've heard in person, and compared to a Flowmaster its a little better in terms of sound, alot better in terms of performance.
Compared to my Loudmouth, it sucks. I think it sounds weak and timid on a stock car, and its too "Poppy" sounding for my taste.

When you start modding thats a different story. I think with headers the Magnaflow would sound mean...

Well I have the magnaflows and they sound pretty good with my pacesetter midlengths. They do pop and crackle when you put your foot in it. Im thinking of switching to something else like the SLP's. I thought about the flowmasters because they sounded good on my truck but, they don't seem to be too popular around here.

I went with the magnaflow since I live in the 'burbs and did not want to agrivate the neighbors or essential let everyone know where i was in the subdivision at any given time the car was on.

The magnaflow is definetly more mellow then the "im going to kick your *** now" loudmouth.

Somehow i dont get any popping with my magnaflow, and it does sound smooth all the way up to 6K with and without load.

When I'm cruising around, I like to be able to listen to my stereo without it being cranked up full blast, carry on a conversation with passengers, and most importantly, be able to hear myself think. So I went with Magnaflow. If none of those above mentioned things are important to you, then you're probably a Loudmouth guy.
