Default Magnaflow Axle Back 16573 (mufflers) vs 16574 (Magnapacks) vs 16578 (Muffler Delete)

I currently have the Magnaflow Axle Back (16573) that is just a muffler replacement to the stock unit. Though the sound is deeper and what I would consider a small amount louder and is a very nice tuned sounding exhaust note, personally it is not the "gurgly-pop" sound that I enjoy.

I thought about going with the Magnapacks (16574) for a louder note but have read some individuals are not as satisfied with those as they thought they would be.

At this point I am strongly considering buying the Magnaflow Muffler Delete Axel Back (16578) and then selling my current Magnaflow Muffler Axel Backs.

Does anyone have the Magnaflow Muffler Deletes? I cant seem to find a decent sound clip of them, if anyone has one please share.

Thoughts/Suggestions?

Thanks!

I'd be interested in hearing opinions as well. I'm always looking for a better sounding exhaust. Something mean but not overly obnoxious. Does that exist?

I have no experience with the Magnaflow deletes, but I had magnapacks and now I have SLP LM. I loved the sound of the magnapacks. With the stock catted H it had a nice deep tone that wasn't overly loud. With a prochamber and hi-flows it sounded more aggresive. I got a lot of compliments on that set-up. SLP LM with a catted H also sounds good, but I like the tone of the magnapacks better.

Just get the PYPES VIOLATORS and be done with it. I have never seen a thread on here where someone has bought them and not liked the sound. They sound great with cats but would probably be too loud without them.

I have the Magnaflow mufflers (15882) with the O/R H pipe. Sounds awesome IMO. Vid in sig.

It would be cheaper to go with an offroad midpipe than to get new mufflers too.

That sounds really good. What did you do about the O2 sensors with the O/R H?

I remember it being a royal PITA...I think I had to remove that flexi-plastic sheathing over the wiring harnesses just in front of the firewall...but I didn't have to get any O2 extensions or anything. It BARELY fits...

Oh yea...and it's LOUD haha. Downright silent until I get on it...then it erupts.
