Default Magnaflow or JBA ??

I think i have narrowed it down to either a Magnaflow dual axle back or a JBA dual axle back. What is your guys opinion on this. I am looking for that deep throaty sound. Let me know. Thanks.

I really dig my JBA's... others really like their Magnaflows.

Check out the exhaust sound clips sticky at the top... see which ones sound better to you and get those!

Another for JBA's here.. (Although I only have the single) Sounds Great!
I really want to get their shorty headers soon.

Man JBA all the WAY.

Reason 1 No drone
Reason 2 Sorry if I affend anyone but the magnaflows sound too high pitched (ricey) If you want a loud muffler go with MRT or Flowmaster American Thunders. Magnaflow just don't do justice for the 4.0L in my opinion and never will, even with duals.

I'm scheduled to get my JBA dual H-pipe catbacks & JBA chrome shorty headers on next Tuesday. Ill let you know what think. I chose them over the Magnaflows due to the sound clips.

I have a Magnaflow single and love it. The nice thing about Magnaflows is it's a 100% stainless steel exhaust. I don't think the JBA is. And the JBA costs more. Go figure. Of course, everyone will say what they have is the best. Very few of us have tried both.

I have been happy with my magnaflows....However, as ricklmesa stated they can get ricey at high rpm. I am hoping headers will fix this? Anyway, JBA's sound nice...Honestly, Magnaflows sound awesome at startup and cruise. But when you gun it...wellll not so much!
