Exhaust tone of Magnaflow

Exhaust tone of Magnaflow
Soon after I finish paying for my rims, I am going to get exhaust. I am leaning more towards the Magnaflow Universal muffler #14289. Does anyone have any clips or can tell me what the exhaust note is like?
--I am looking for a deep growl at idle and under normal accel., but when I stomp on it I want it to really growl. From what I have heard, the Magnaflow tends to get quiet.... true?

I just put a magnaflow on my 97. It has a nice hum to it from idle up to about 2500. Thats where its the loudest, but once the revs get up above that the intake seems to be louder. Ive been told by a few people that my max now sounds a lot like a g35 coupe. All in all im happy with it.

The sound really depends on what else you have done to your exhaust.. With a Y-pipe, stock cat, custom resonated b-pipe and the magnaflow 14829, my car was pretty loud, and a little raspy. You're prolly better off with a borla. I eventually replaced the resonator with a turbo muffler... the magnaflow is really nothing more than a big resonator so, it still flows better than stock. Things are a lot more tolerable now.

It isn't so much that the magnaflow gets quiet at higher rpms, so much as it doesn't keep getting louder past ...idunno 3500? It is very loud at low rpms. So driving it, you would expect that the car would sound like a top feul dragster by redline.
A day or two ago I hit the top of 2nd going thru an underpass and I assure you it is just as loud.
I also have wsp y, budget 2.5" b (with magnaflow res), and magnaflow #14827. I've had the cat-back for about a month now and am still getting used to it. Don't get me wrong, I like the sound. But I might replace the resonator with another muffler. lol

Oops... I mean 14829
Also-- the only reason I am going for the Magnaflow over the GReddy SP2 is because of the money. Id rather get Magnaflow muffler, FSTB, RSB, and Tein S-techs with the same amount of money of the GReddy.
But I don't want the Magnaflow to sound bad. I listened to your clips SCAREFACE and I really like the sound, but would mine sound like that with just a budget y-pipe and HAI

All i can say is its FRIKKEN LOUD, totaly rice, not happy with it at all, sounds raspy if i really get on it. budget y pipe, resonated B, stock cat, and its not fun especially in traffic. very lound at 2500, not as noticable on the highway but.. let me put it this way, I now get very shy when i pass some one with their window cracked.

If I get an aftermarket b pipe... is that what makes it sounds "rice"?

BTW... Magnaflow mufflers sound like crap on maximas. My friend has one, and sound like a POS. Stick with a greddy, or stock 5th gen..
