Default Magnaflow or Flowmaster - Which do you like better?

I know many people like many different axle-back exhausts, but can I get some opinions from people as to if they like the Magnaflows (not the packs) or Flowmasters better?

Thanks,

J.D

As far as sound = Flowmaster. As far as quality = Magnaflow.

I second that opinion. I have had both setups, Flowmasters were too loud. I now have magnaflows and it sounds perfect. I think both are ok for N/A cars, but I would stick to the Magnaflow if you are looking into S/C or turbo setup. The local muffler shop has a cross section of both, I was amazed too see that the flowmasters have "V" shaped wedges inside the chambers, versus the Magnaflows mandrel bent "S" shape throughout.On a 475RWHP setup such as mine, I don't want to restrict the exhasut flow whatsoever, not to mention I developed rattling sounds inside the flowmasters, most likely I warped a baffle or something while racing it under WOT.

Flowmasters on these cars don't sound "like" Flowmasters. From the soundclips I've heard, JBAs sound more like Flowmasters sound on a Mustang (5.0L or 4.6L 2v & 4v).
