Im not sure what I would rather have put on. Price isnt a factor and im looking for some input. Its going to be a 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust.

Default skip magnaflow - since it really isn't a muffler - but if you are keeping the cat on

it might not be that bad - but if you ever plan on going turbo back expect dronesville.

so if you want it nice and loud get a magnaflow setup - if you want it civilized get borla

Default My magnaflow was deafening. Tons of drone (turbo back system). Much happier with Borla system.

Between those two options, borla. Are you going to buy borla system or just use borla muffler with custom piping?

Default Gotcha, good luck. I would use 2 mufflers or some other type of middle silencer, otherwise might be

really loud.
