I think the Magna axle backs would sound great with Long tube headers. They will definitely add the throaty sound.
But you must also realize that if you have the Ford Racing exhaust... the "Stingers" that they also will do the same thing.

As for headers and cams.
You are in luck.

I just had the Ford Racing Hot Rod cams put in and I love them.
I also had BBK long tube ceramic headers put in with a BBK high flow catted X pipe.

I got a great horsepower gain and feel NO loss of torque.
My SLP loudmouths are a bit too loud I am thinking so I need to get me a pair of mufflers.

If you have the Ford Racing Stingers and want to get rid of them let me know... I would probably buy them from you or trade you my SLP loudmouths for them.
Or if you end up liking the ford racing ones better... I might trade you the SLP loudmouths for the Magnaflows.

Are the magnaflows the magnapacks or regular ones?

if its the regular magnaflows, they are kinda quiet.
but with LT's, o/r midpipe and cams, might sound nice.

I had the cams installed.

I had 4.10 gears, Hot Rod Cams, and the headers and x pipe all installed at the same time and had it custom tuned.

Borla and Corsa are great too.
But if you have the Ford Stingers they sound pretty much exactly like the Borla's.

Find out which Ford Racing exhaust you have and let me know!

People have told me the regular magnaflows are even quieter than stock exhaust.

If they are magnapacks then they should be good.

I really am curious as to what Ford Racing exhaust underworld has.
