Magnaflow vs TurboXS exhaust system

I plan on ordering a turbo back exhaust soon and I've been doing some research on both of these systems. I'm really liking the feedback I've been reading on the Magnaflow exhaust because of its quieter deeper tone but I haven't really seen much on the TurboXS. I know the Magnaflow exhaust is just a catback system so I will probably end up getting the TurboXS downpipe and and high flow cat pipe regardless of which catback I choose but I would like to know if anyone else is running this setup and what they think of it.

I went with Magnaflow. It was barely noticeably louder compared to stock. After a installing a test pipe, it did get louder. I like the combination. Its quite enough when cursing on the highway and sounds great when you go WOT.

This wasn't the question.

From my experience, Magnaflow has always proven to be a well-built and great sounding product. This in combination with a free-flowing test pipe will really open her up and make you -->

I guess I'm pretty set on the Magnaflow CBE, now I just have to figure out what downpipe and high flow cat I want to get (soooo many vendors).

I have the TurboXS catback with an AMS hi-flow cat. I've been running the combo for about a year and I like it. I did a lot of research on exhausts systems before I finally pulled the trigger and for the money the TuboXS is a good choice. It has a deep throaty sound at idle and isn't obnoxiously loud when crusing at mid to highway speeds. I would say it's a "middle of the road" exhaust in terms of noise. Sometimes I wish I purchased a little quieter exhaust but that's just my personal preference and welding in a resonator is always an easy fix. I haven't heard the Magnaflow in real life so I can't comment on that exhaust.
