can't decide between 2 exhausts

Hey guys i'm looking to purchase a somewhat quiet exhaust for my 10. I've narrowed it down to 2 choices. The magnaflow catback which i can get for around 420 new or the buschur racing catback which I can get for around 500 used. The only thing is that I would have to travel about 3 hours to get the buschur where the maganaflow would be shipped to me for that price. What would you do?

power difference is minimal. just go with whatever you think looks and sounds better.

Magnaflow here and I'm happy with it. I won't call it quiet, but it's definitely one of the quieter exhausts available for the X so it's great for daily-drivers.

Magnaflow because of the price. Its stock looking and its quiet. Buschur Racing also uses Magnaflow muffler but it sound more aggressive/throaty then the Magnaflow, where its just deep and slightly louder than stock

If your looking for stock looking, and quiet, there is a company that sells modified oem mufflers. I forget the name, i am sure someone on here knows. From what i seen they are really cheap. basically 1) what your budget can handlle, 2) listen to them in person if you can. you tube is alright but in most cases dont do justice to actual sound. if you have some X's in your area, see what they are running and ask to go for a ride and see what it sounds like under load, at idle and WOT. just know that not everyone likes the same thing.

I've got the magnaflow along with a testpipe and i'm really happy with it. It sounds great especialy from inside the vehicle.
Those who want louder than stock exhausts will not like the magnaflow because it sounds close to stock.
But those who, just like you and me, dont want too loud like the magnaflow cuz it looks and sounds just right for their taste.

And if it happens to be just a bit too quiet for you then you can add a testpipe like i did.

i agree. when it comes to exhaust, youre better off looking for the right lok with the right sound.
