This was my first exhaust installation, and I bought this kit because it doesn't produce that whiny sound that the other exhaust kits do. I actually chose the Magnaflow over the Flowmaster because everything that I read suggested that the Magnaflow sound was near stock at cruising speeds which is the case. This is what I was looking for, so it's perfect for me. If you are looking for more of a ricey sound, one of the other kits might be what you are looking for, though I have to say the Flowmaster dBx does sound very nice.The muffler tip looks great, but it does stick out about 3/4" from the rear so be careful after going for groceries because it would be very easy to hit the tip with a bare leg. While I think some might be okay with a Magnaflow brand on their leg, I certainly would not be one of them. Still I like it because it sticks out just enough that you can read the Magnaflow logo on it.Power wise, you probably wont notice anything unless you...
