Default Which sound do you like better?

I can't decide between MBRP or a Flowmaster Exhaust I love the sound of my magnaflow on my tundra but IMO the magnaflow doesn't sound like a Jeep on the wranglers.
So which one sounds better to you guys?

Flow Master

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTmCAuYPNSk&feature=related I want an exhaust that doesn't sound like a ricer, but has that deep grunt, you know. I really don't want a loud and obnoxious sounding one like the Gibson, no offence to the Gibson but I just don't like how loud it is.
Thanks Matt

I've never heard any of these in person, and people record them all different in the youtube vids so I really can't pinpoint exactly which exhaust would sound better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeUXtX_f9OQ This is what I came from I love the deep roaring sound but I know the JK isn't a V8, I'd love to have something similiar sounding for the JK

I've heard both side by side and the flowmaster has more of a deep tone to it, that's why I got mine, go to YouTube and search dylans jeep jk and there is a better one for the flowmaster with a drive by, I was really bored one day lol

In my opinion chambered mufflers like the flowmaster always sound better. They have a deeper tone and some throat to them. More importantly from my perspective is performance and a chambered muffler just isn't going to do as well as a pass through tube with perhaps some perforations and packing as I believe the MBRP can to be. For my money and what I currently see in the marketplace I would run with a Dynomax VT muffler as it won't drone and might add a modest amount of performance.

In MY op, I dont like when people put mufflers on any vehicle to make it sound good. Its like using auto-tune to sing ya know? Im more of a guy that If my Jeep sounds like that, it better preform like it. But if i just HADDD to choose.... go with magnaflow

Between your two choices and videos, I like the Flowmaster. But have you checked out some of the Dynomax setups? They've got their "Rockcrawler" setup that sounds pretty beefy.

I'm also running their Ultra Flo SS Mufflers and it sounds pretty great. I'd recommend it.

But then again, I also have a friend running the MBRP under his JK, and it sounds good as well.

I thought the flowmaster sounded quite similar to the dynomax, especially considering the toyota had the extra 2 cylinders.

Dynomax does sound very beastly too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiXqZCdRS1E&feature=related I think Dynomax and Flowmaster are my two new favorites.
