2004 LSE; Magnaflow or Flowmaster?

[Ballistic4N6]

I searched the forums regarding information from the community on this one. But I am still not sure, Magnaflow or Flowmaster? I'm not interested in LOUD, just better sounding and better performance. I know while I like Borlas, they may be too loud for my taste for this daily driver.
Thanks guys!

I say go with Magnaflow. Flowmasters are louder though.

Magnaflow. Flowmasters are generally more suited for a classic "American V8 growl" which I personally feel does not fit this car. Magnaflows will give you a more refined "European" note. I've read in some cases flowmasters can actually decrease performance but I really cant attest to the accuracy of that.

Flowmasters sound poo, very throaty under higher throttle.

I like the sound of my flowmasters, but they are very loud. If you do not want that, I recommend the magnaflow or similar. The flowmaster sound is not for everyone, I personally like it more than magnaflow, but others may not.

Borla used to make a good system.
