Default exhaust question

as most of you guys here may know, my 5.0 has a side pipe exhaust that I am not a fan of...

in the summer after I save up money whilst at school I plan on buying a brand new catback system.

I was flipping through my summit mag and have narrowed it down to 2 different brands.

a 2.5 inch Pypes catback for the 1986-1993 LX 5.0 with polished 2.5 inch stainless steel tips

or a 2.5 inch Magnaflow catback for the 1986 LX 5.0 with polished 3 inch stainless steel tips.

anyone know much about either brand?

tone quality, durability, ease of install etc.

the rest of my exhaust includes BBK equal length headers and a Prochamber O/R x-pipe.

I dont really wanna go with flowmaster.... everyone has them... and I hate blending in.

I wanted to look at borla but they dont have a catback in the summit mag (didnt check online) and SLP is expensive, and Ive heard mixed reviews about them...

any help would be cool, as Im gonna start putting money away after I buy my books for the semester

Magnaflows are all stainless and should last a very long time.
