The MagnaBlow is a cheap loud muffler, but the UltraFlo is decent.
I have a long downpipe with a 2" cat back w/UltraFlo muffler and it's not
that loud unless you get on it.
With a cat it is actually pretty quiet, and a little deeper.

The Borlas are nice, but they don't come in 2"...

I'd recommend the 2" cat-back w/UltraFlo muffler.

I'm doing a group purchase deal right now and I can get it for $196 plus
shipping from Techtonics.

It's only $124 plus shipping for the 2" aluminized cat-back w/Superturbo.

The Superturbo and the Ultraflo are both lifetime warranty mufflers.

I plan on sending the order in to Techtonics on Jan 16.
