Yep...those sound very nice too. IMO OP, you can't go wrong with either optioin but that's not providing much help is it? Using the 2 startup/rev video clips (Flowmaster and Magnaflow), I'd say the Magnaflow is definitely louder without a doubt. Of course, you must take into consideration that they are two different cameras with different recording qualities/capabilities blah, blah, blah. If you're after agressive volume, sounds like Magnaflow to me is what you are after...

The Magnaflow X pipe will even out your exhaust and actually help the car run smoother. It will also help low end throttle response. I had a dual set up without the X pipe and it was very uneven due to some difference in the pipe lengths of the setup I was running. I added an X pipe and there is now a world of difference in how the truck runs and sounds.

Constructed with durable 409S stainless steel and finished off with 4.00" polished tips, the system is covered by Flowmaster's impressive ten-year warranty. Each kit includes all of the components required for easy at home installation. Per their site!

Being that we've installed both systems, the Magnaflow is the loudest.

I understand that, but I did not take the time to do in depth research of their system he mentioned. I was only stating MY personal Experience with Every Flowmaster system I ever owned or saw installed on other cars. Either way, the Magnaflow system is set up nice with the Muffler being polished and not painted.

The Magnaflow rear pipes are cleaner looking as well with the muffler installed under the center of the car and not at the rear.

Agree! I have the Corsa on my personal car and I don't like the mufflers hanging down.

Magnaflow's 3" system part # 16483 now has mufflers.

That's the X-pipe not a muffler
