I don't have a dyno sheet for the borla, but the sound is good... very good, and it gets better with a CAI. Deep and and somewhat throaty, not a ricer or fart can sound. I don't know what the magnaflow sounds like so hopefully someone will be able to add to the comparison.

That European sound is something you will never be able to get if Ferrari's are what we are talking about. They use a flat plane type crankshaft instead of a cross plane like on most V motors.

I've got magnaflow on mine an absolutley love it. Its actually the trubendz version. Mines 2.25" aluminized. It was much cheaper and I was broke at the time. It works out though, because that was before I went turbo, so if it rusts out on me it will give me an excuse to go 3" lol. But seriously, Magnaflow and Borla are the best exhaust companies in my opinion. You would be extremley happy with the sound and performance of either one.
