Default Magnaflow vs Dynomax

I've got a '13 JKU and am considering a new exhaust, probably a cat back. I am looking at either the magnaflow 15237 or the dynomax 39523. Can you sell me on one or the other? Let's see. :-)

I have the Dynomax DIY Rock crawler setup. I LOVE it. With stock gears, I don't get up to 3k rpm, so it never sounds ricey. Its just a deep rumble. I think it sounds closer to a V8 than any of the other systems I listened to.

I personally like the sound of the magnaflow. I suggest that you check Youtube videos for the sound clip of the exhaust you're looking for.

I have listened to a lot of different exhaust video clips. These are the two I narrowed it down to. I was just curious if there way anything that would place one over the other or if someone really preferred on over the other and why.

Thanks.

Most sound clips aren't true to life.
The best I found, before I decided on the Magnaflow, was this clip.
Most of it isn't a good recording, but check towards the end, from 2:30 and on -- the sound is just like my Magnaflow # 15237 .

There's no riciness or drone at any rpm, up to the red zone.

Most of the driving clips punch it at the end. That ruled out most of them for me. They sounded like lowered Honda Civics to me.

Thanks everyone. I have been leaning towards magnaflow. I had one on my chevy silverado when I had it and I liked it, but I also know that the jeep engine is a whole other ballgame. I do like the presence that dynomax has on all of the jeep forums though. Decisions...decisions...hmmm.

Any others to comment on these two options?
