Default Muffler tone question

Do Magnaflow mufflers have the deepest tone? If not which ones? Audio replays just don't tell me.

The best way would be to just listen to the various systems in person. Remove all doubt. Then choose.

I have Magnaflows with an X pipe on my vert and Borla Stingers with an X pipe and Dynamax long tubes on my Z. Obviously the Borlas are louder, but they both have a good deep tone.

I also have Magnaflows with an X-pipe and was pleased with the sound, but desired a bit more. I have been so used to my Z28 (LT1) sound. So I changed out the stock Cats and went with Bassani High Flow Cats and am even more pleased and gained just a bit more "throat-e-ness".

I'd also check out GHL. I've never heard the Magnums (louder), but my Bullets have often been mistaken for Magnaflows from a distance.
