Yeah, I switched from MXP to Magnaflow.

It may just be me, but these paired up with a UEL caused drone that kept giving me headaches in the morning while I headed to university. The video makes both sound quite tame. The MXP probably can be heard 3-4 blocks down. I've heard the MXP catback with a full stock header,OP,FP. It sounds pretty nice. But when you go with an aftermarket UEL without a cat, it makes it super loud and droney.

Pros of Magnaflow
Way less drone (still a bit there around 3000-4000 under load)
Neighbors don't hate me
Not a cop magnet

Pros of MXP
Audible engine popping sounds that makes it sound more like a racecar
Fills the exhaust hole of the bumper better
Adjustable tips


I'm actually contemplating changing out the magnaflow for a Perrin 3" catback just because I'm getting a turbo soon. But I'm holding off for now.
