I'm deciding between the two and would like to hear from people who have tried both.
No offence to anyone but I don't care about myths of back pressure or performance. It's all the same anyways. I'm looking for a nice sound.

The IMCO 924 muffler was the first muffler that was "tested" to give a performance boost to the HHR in early '06, before any of the cat-back systems were introduced. However, there was never any independent testing done outside of the vendor who was selling them at the time.

Word, and we all saw how fast he bailed.....

Exhaust sound is all preferance. Find a sound you like and your all set. But don't go from you hear from a larger motor, a Flowmaster on a V8 will not sound the same on a 4 banger.

Yeah I know the sound of 4cyl isnt going to sound big. I'm just wanting to know out of the IMCO, Magnaflow, and I guess the borla/GMPP, which one is the most quiet while sounding good?
I know one sounds better from one person to the next, but which one is the quietest?

I don't care what kind of system it is. It can be just a muffler replacement for all I care..lol. I'm just wanting something that has a nice growl to it but isnt going to wake up the neighbors. I'm out of the loud stage with my cars.
