Best flow between the 2 would be HKS as I've heard the Tanabe one is a 3" around the beginning but goes to 2.5". Could be wrong on this so don't quote me.

Deep sound, neither. You want a nice deep sound, go with a Magnaflow. I love mine.

No highway drone.... Just stick with stock. The drone on my Magnaflow is pretty bad but as long as it's not a higher pitched drone, I'm happy.

cool i forgot about that something. anybody knows if it drones during highway cruise? i dont mind the aftermarket exhaust deep notes while cruising around but once i hit the highway and the exhaust is resonating inside the car at around 3800rpm can become extremely annoying.

I have the BR catback with Magnaflow muffler and sd midpipe and it has a nice and throaty tone, and much quieter on the highway than my old ams exhaust. And it looks nicer IMO than the norm of the exhausts out there.
