which has better sound??

Ofcourse this is a matter of opinion but I'm undecided on which to go with - the silver bullet cat back or the magna flow cat back...which has better sound, I have a borla and it doesn't have enough sound for me, I like to hear the exhaust. Thanks guys!!

I just installed a Magnaflow catback and a Magnaflow mid pipe,
and the sound is mellow and very deep (LOUD) Larry

It uses 2 Magnaflow mufflers and they are smaller (louder) than the one in the catback

Actually some silver bullet catbacks had 1 muffler with the X internal.. You might also be able to specify that you want the single.. I have a silver bullet catback remember?

I know you do, but the system has two round Magnapack type mufflers. At least now it does. Maybe you are getting old

The key words here are had 1 muffler and might be able to specify a single. Remember JDM WILL work with you... ..

Regardless, the new 2 muffler setup (has the Magnapack mufflers) is the louder version. Know this from first hand experience. Plus, the exhaust tips are much nicer

I had both systems on my truck. The Silver bullet is much louder! It was a little to loud for me so I put two oval magnaflow mufflers on in place of the silver bullet round type. This is still loud but without as much highway drone. I do a lot of highway driving and it was just too loud for me but if you are mostly around town the silver bullet sound bad a**.

when you say highway drone you mean like at a certain RPM, I know the flowmasters do that.

It was overall louder at all speeds but the drone was worst on the hills. I would have to turn the radio way up when I went up hills or anytime lugging in high gear.
