The 40s will make it sound like everything else on the street and will be very loud. Go with the Magnaflows, they sound good.

Don't worry - it won't sound anything like a mustang with the flowmaster mufflers. Check out Nathan Plemons C4 (long tube headers, x-pipe, flowmasters):

This is one of the best (and meanest) sounding C4's I've ever heard.

i just got my magnaflow mufflers on today with the magnaflow x-pipe, and its still real quite and its not loud at all. i mean it has a different exhaust note and sounds different but its no were i thought it should be. should it be this quite with a new x pipe and mufflers, or do i have to put different headers and high flow cats if none at all on?

I guess one important question, stock cats or do you have hi-perf cats? I've never listened to hi-performance cats, so I don't know how they affect the sound.

And the reverse is true the other way, of course only to a point, then you start losing both.
Without dyno tuning, though, its probably a craps shoot.
Personally, since I'm not a pro racer or nutin', I look for an exhaust that sounds good to me and call it good.
