Tips for chosing a Magnaflow Exhaust Wanted

Hi,

I searched this site in the 88 - 98 category and didn't see anything specific on this topic so I started this thread.

I need some tips on chosing a Magnaflow exhaust system --- its booked to be installed this Thursday so early replies are very appreciated. Mangaflow is what the shop I want to use serlls so I'm limited to just that or a no-name house brand.

This is what I have that pushes air through so far:

1998 Chev 5.7L (350) engine
Volant Cool Air Intake
Granatelli Mass Flow Air Sensor
Edlebrock Shorty Headers

This is what I'm thinking:

Cut out the cats & buy cheater sensors
True dual exhaust
Replace everthing from headers back
Magnafllow mufflers or one muffler with 'x' pipe
Stainless Steel Tail pipes
Exit out the back under the roll pan

Now, I have a Flowmaster 50 series on my other truck, I like the sound of it but I want something a bit more throaty on this truck.

It currently has dual Cherry Bombs & 2.25" pipe. I like the way it idles, but not the "rapping" noise it makes when you punch it....sounds a bit too bush league for me.

What have other people done & liked or hated with their Magnaflow systems?

I searched Youtube and didn't see alot of videos that you can listen to very well.

Any info is appreciated!

Thanks!
