Default Opinion on Quality

Don't stop reading...this is not a sound, drone, or resonance question.
I have my mind made up between a Magnaflow #15884 catback system and a B&B Route 66 with X-Pipe system. My question is if the prices were equal, does anyone have an opinion on a quality issue?
Thanks

Default great quality!!

the Rt 66s have great workmanship and deliver a middle of the road sound. There is some minor drone around 1500 rpm but it is not bad . I'm sure the Magnaflo system is good as well so choose the one which sounds best to YOU.

Default Magna Flow

I can't speak for B&B but the Magna Flow factory is about five minutes from my house and I went over there one time to get info on a system for a truck and the whole operation is first class.

Magnaflows are considered among the best for quality from its C5 application. They are on the quiet side but they are well designed and made and as a result one of the more expensive units in the marketplace.

Don't know about magnaflow, but I instaled rt66 yesterday and quality appears excellent. The fit was right on and lining up the tips took very little adjustment.
