I have the Magnaflow single in dual out. I had some issues with the installation, but was able to make it work and look correct. I LOVE the sound of the Magnaflow system and sound,would not switch it for anything.

Inside cab noise is mild at best. You can talk on the phone and hear the radio just fine. Idle rumble is pretty soft, but when you get up on it, it has a nice clean non rattling/popping, deep toned rumble. Mine system turns heads when I get up on it.

Here is a WOT inside cab sound

I vote MBRP! Nice and quiet under 3k RPM, but anything over that and it sounds mean!
