magnaflow or flowmaster?

My next upgrade is gonna be some exhaust.... but i dont want my car to sound like a lawn mower, i want somthing that will produce a deeper more sportier tone. Ive been told that magnaflows or flowmaster will produce this quality sound. I just wanted to know your two cents as to which one would sound better for the sound im looking for (and something that will work with our cars). Thanks.

Magnaflows sound nice, IMHO, they sound better than the comptech exhausts.

I'm in the same boat. Would like an aftermarket exhaust with a more aggressive note. But my experience with aftermarket exhaust is that they are too loud. My buddy has a new 330 and the note is great. Just enough, but not too loud.

i just got the two mufflers for now, but soon i'll be adding on the piping as well. The mufflers were $120 a piece plus about $110 for labor, i dont know if thats a good price or not. the piping will be an additional $170 for pipes and labor. yeah and i'll post some pics and sound clips soon as i get a chance.
