Default 94 v6 3.4 magnaflow or Flowmaster?

Ok so obviously I am going to ask which is best to get. Also what model and series and all that should I get? I am looking for a nice rumble that will turn heads when drive into a parking lot. Not too loud, but not too soft. Also how should the pipes be run after the system is put on? Just like they are now with the single pipe with a nice tip on it (I can't afford to pay for a y pipe and have dual pipes) or just do a turn down. Which is cheapest and what are the difference in the sounds of having a turn down or just running one pipe? I

I know I am asking a lot of questions, but I was also wondering around what price should I look for, for a muffler shop to put it on? ( I will supply them the muffler and tip if I go with a single tip) So just for installation.

Both suck It's just a personal preference thing. Exhaust is all about the "grin factor"

Flowmaster is throatier, Magnaflow is more suttle. Or you can go with Borla and get the best of both worlds

I did a little research and it seems Borla mufflers were not recommended for camaros.

Would MagnaFlow Muffler 5" x 8" Oval 14" Body 2.5" C/C 12216 this fit on stock pipes v6 3.4 94?

Link? I would like to see who says Borla isn't recommended.

Magnaflow is what you'll be looking for if you want subtle, but louder when you're gunning the engine.

Borla.com....

Also I don't run my camaro very hard so I will probably go with the flowmaster. Does the magnaflow sound better than the flowmaster (better as in louder clearer) when it's running high rpms?

Another question if I have 2 in. pipes what size should I get the ends of the muffler?

I know nothing about mufflers or cars really other than the entire ignition electronics (recently had to track my way throughout the entire system to find a easily fixed problem I was having). I can however do sound systems, but when it comes to mechanics I understand what i have been taught perfectly just haven't been taught all that much.

MAgna is good but I've got flowmaster on my chevy. And for me it makes the right sound and my friends have it on theirs too.

Its all in preference. Look up sound clips and try and decide. I had Flowmaster 80 series on my last camaro and it sounded nice in the low rpm range, but not the same as i reached higher rpm's. I would probably try magnaflow and see, but again its all preference. I also just did the muffler with dual outlet and it gave it a nice look.
Also, if your on a budget Borla is not for you as they are very high end, running around the $1k range i believe.
