Default Borla vs. Magnaflow

Hey everyone. I need to get my hands on a new catback. I really dig borlas. My friend has one on his TJ and it sounds rad but I called some guys up at a shop and they said it was too quiet...and that the magnaflow is the way to go...what does everyone think/have? WHO OUT THERE HAS A BORLA and WHO OUT THERE HAS A MAGNAFLOW? Your help is beyond appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the magnaflo cat back and people say it sounds nice but I find it needs to be just a tad bit louder

IMHO

I have the Magnaflow cat-back. I didn't buy it to be loud, and it is not. I bought it because of the quality and fit, and I am pleased by both. I spent less than $300...

I had magnaflow on my WRX and it was smooth and powerful but did not drone at all. I switched it out for a race exhaust and that thing bellowed! Magnaflow does an EXCELLENT job of muffling noise while still being a straight through design.

Have you put any thought into buying something other than Borla or Magnaflow? I have an MBRP SS Cat back system and I absolutely love it.

I have admittedly ONLY seen those videos but the borla clearly sounds the manliest compared to the rest. Borla has the deepest tone Ive heard from the JK.

I've seen a bunch of mbrp videos and it doesnt sound that intense :/ feel free to post a video =] and describe it to me. Guys I want the gnarliest exhaust made for the jk. Deepest, sickest, raddest, best.
