Magnaflow vs. Flowmaster

Alright, if you guys don't know it already I am cheap. I am looking to get a new exhaust and hopefully not spend much more than $300 including mufflers tips and installation. I am mainly looking at the Flowmaster 50 series or a magnaflow but I want some suggestions. I want something that is not loud at cruise speeds but you know is there when you hit the throttle. Also anyone that has had any problems with either company tell me about that please.

Please no one bother to post about how I should get the Comptech, I have heard it all to much.

They are cheap shit with loud sound to it. You can also get alot of look-a-like from Ractive, like Fireball,N1,Drager style etc. As for the sound, you'll have to ask the shop. To tell you honestly, if you really want your car to look nice and perform well, you will need to spend around $500+. If you don't plan to spend that much, stick to Ractive stuff, but I can guarantee you that it will just make your TL/CL(S) look bad. Why use cheap shit if you driving a nice car? Don't even consider to mod your car if you are not willing to pay. There are never things that are cheap and good. More you pay, the better quality you get. In sound and performance.

FLowmasters

Man u need to seariously do a search, but i am the one that has the flowmaster exaust on my cl-s and love it. it gives a great growl when the car is on, and up until the vtec kicks in. total for the 2 exausts and takin the tips off my old muffler and welding them on to the flow, total cost was less then 200 with tip to the guy cause he sawed my tips off and welded them on to new without havin me buy new tips (which can run up to 30 to 40 per tip in chrome).
I would show u a pic of the car, but u cant tell the diff since the tips are stock, but check my sig and u will see. Love them and u would too for under 200, and yes, its louder then competch and I also have a 2 chamber, which is louder then the 3 chamber, which would be more money, maybe 200 before tips. ANy other questions, u can PM me.

If I were to get a flowmaster exhaust and buy two new tips, would I be able to put the old exhaust back on in the case that I sell it a while down the road?
