Default Which exhaust would you pick?

After a month of deciding and researching almost every exhaust out there I got it narrowed down to 2 exhaust systems that I think I would like the most!

Im either deciding from the aFe or the magnaflow. What do you think?

aFe

Magnaflow

I'd go with the one made by an actual exhaust company but I would try to find it cheaper. Like here - http://banditexhaust.com/catalog/per...l?currency=USD

I went with AFE and haven't heard anything better or seen a better build in my opinion. Sound is about a 6 or 7 with 10 being the loudest. I don't like it too loud or with any drone but to each his own, happy hunting, lol!

Yes, all new stainless clamps and bolts come with it but the tips (11.5" x 4") are longer and with a cleaner laser weld unlike the stock duals...very nice looking. It comes appart (pipes) and goes back together in the same areas as the stock, except with a much cleaner and higher quality look. If you are converting from single to dual like I did, you will need "one" extra rubber muffler hanger for the left rear (close to the bumper) that you can pick up at Dodge (14$) or a muffler shop. The two rear rubber hangers has three holes unlike the rest that have only two but if you already have duals then you don't need to get the extra one.

Have you seen or heard the Aero Turbine Muffler ...

If you like it a super deep rich sound.

Google it and see what it is........

If that's your only two options, then I say go with the AFE system. This is just for my own personal reasons in that I really have a hard time paying what Magnaflow wants for their mufflers, which when you get right down to it is nothing but a stainless steel glass pack.

As of right now, I'm shopping Borla. Just gotta get the wheels taken care of first.
