Our Recommendation
Best value: Flowmaster Outlaw or Super 44 — loudest for the money, great on trucks.
Best overall: Borla S-Type — perfect balance of sound and refinement, zero drone on the highway. Worth the premium.
Best mid-range: MagnaFlow Street Series — smooth sound, stainless construction, fair price.
