Magnaflow FTW.
Btw horsepower should be the last thing you are concerned about with on a catback. No aftermarket catback will make any significant amount of power over another.

RE: magnaflow or loudmouth exhaust
Well, I am biased since I have LM1's, but I gotta say, you can't go wrong with them. The fit, finish and quality are outstanding, deffinantly have the best looking tips on the market. Mine sounded great with the stock mid-pipe, wonderful tone and when you really get on it it was like a nascar, I have now installed an off road Mac pro chamber with the LM's and WOW, it is unbelievable loud, still has a pretty good tone, but it can be a little raspy sometimes. Regular cruising is fine, but when you get on it, believe me it turns heads, I have gotten nothing but compliments so far. Just my .02

Not sure on the price of the LM1s, but I got the exhaust in my sig for $765 delivered. www.completeexhaust.com. All stainless steel and lasts forever. Oh, and I felt a huge difference after the install. Of course, I used to it now, so I'm working on my next mod.

LM's sound like a tim can IMO
My nieghbor has them on his 03 GT and it sounds like pure ****. Magnaflows are probably cheaper but are much much quieter. I'd suggest you shop around listening to sound clips of Boral Stingers, Mangaflows as well as magnapacks, and the LMI's and LMII's. Hell you might even like the sound of Flowmasters, but they are **** for quality...

RE: magnaflow or loudmouth exhaust
Magnaflows are actually more money, don't quote me because I haven't checked in a while, but I think the catback system is like $100 more or so.
But if you are torn between the two thats really hard because like I said and others have said, they are SOOO different from one another. LM1's don't even compare to Magnaflows, not even on the same planet. Once again though...
If you want a great sounding tone, which is VERY quiet ---> Magnaflows.
If you want a great sounding tone, which is LOUDER ---> LM1's or even LM2's.
You really have to hear the difference, the loudmouths are not going to be that loud with a stock exhaust, its just that the Magnaflows are VERY quiet with a stock exhaust. Its so hard for us to explain the different for you.
