No one can really say which sounds best, as everyone likes a different tone.

I got my evo and it had a straight through muffler welded on the stock exhaust. It really had no sound to it. It just sounded like a jet when the wastegate opened.

I bought a Buschur 3" TBE with cat and Magnaflow.
Like most magnaflows, it had a deep, mellow tone. But it just wasnt loud enough.

I noticed the catalytic converter started to rattle, so I took it off and hollowed it out.

It now sounds great in harmony with the S1 cams at idle.
I get comments all the time.

The slip-fit design also makes it one of the lighter systems out there, at a very affordable price.

The only thing I don't like is the sound of an equal length exhaust manifold. It sounds too tin-like.
