Always used these Dynomax mufflers on my Biturbo Audis. No drone, not raspy, just deep, low bass 8 feet behind you. Would need 2, end to end, to equal a rough equivalent size of the stock muffler.

I can attest to this, I have the magnaflow, and can't stand the drone, pretty disappointed. It literally vibrates my pants among other things.
Any one heard the cgs vs. the magnaflow? Thinking of switching, sad, I had to cut the The factory off after the muffler as there was simply no way to safely get it over the axle and out (The brake lines run right above the frame rail, I darn near destroyed them.). Probably would have been different if I was up on a lift but only on jack stands I didn't have enough room to twist it and the way it needed to be twisted probably.

I love the drone sound.... had single swept side with flowmaster 40... wanted more so I can't use the spare so removed it and had duals installed with 40s and trying to figure out if I can get LOUDER and DEEPER

To each his own but it sounds terrible to me. I came from a Corsa which had insane sound and zero drone, loved it. Especially for long road trips, slower highway acceleration, it's pretty annoying and my bluetooth call recipients can hear it. Not to mention how much worse it is for kids in the back seats. Again, curious if anyone can describe the interior sound of the CGS. I hate to throw away the money but I can't stand this.

That's the one. It's made well, the quality was great but the sound is no bueno for me. I wanted a good stainless exhaust with a little extra noise but this thing feels louder inside then out.

Looking at the Magnaflow Install Instructions, picture #1 is stock muffler, picture below step #3 is the new Magnaflow, which looks to be approx. 4" to 6" shorter. Although advertised as "Moderate" sound levels, with the straight-through performance design + eliminating the resonator, I am not surprised you get resonance inside the cab. Is the resonance only at certain speed or RPM's? Did you notice any improvement in acceleration? I only ask because I cant hear my exhaust at any speed or RPM, windows up or down, all I hear is the engine. I was thinking of cutting in a new muffler for a little more sound.
