IMO, in terms of axle-backs:
Flowmaster: Loud (obnoxious?) Deep growl, but there's also a raspy "old-man" sound to it too, noticable droning. "Old muscle car sound". Materials are of a lower quality than others, apparently.
Borla: Deep throaty tone, "muscle car" sound, but bad droning especially at high rpms. Supposedly will last forever - or at least to 1 million miles.
Ford Racing = Borla muffler, at half the price, but no 1mil mile warranty
MRT: Loud meaty growl, less raspy and crackly than Flowmasters, significant drone & vibrations. "Sporty+muscle car sound"
Magnaflow: Loud but not obnoxious rumble, mellow, throaty growl, no raspiness, little if any drone. Sounds like a mix of "Euro sports car"+"muscle car." Long-lasting stainless steel construction will probably outlast your car.
I believe all advertise some amount of HP gains, and any of them would be much better than the stock v6 muffler. I went with the Magnaflows myself - I got headaches from the drones of the others.
What's "best" for you?

Had the Flowmasters-moderate loud/minimal drone/$275+/aluminized/SS 4" rolled tips, and have the FRPP/Stingers- louder/substantial drone/$395+/T-304 SS/SS 4" rolled tips. I like them both. It depends on what you like. There is no best axle backs. Do your research... this forum is the perfect place to start

Drone is best described as overlapping sound waves that vibrate and make your head hurt.
BTW, another great axelback for a cheap price is the Gt takeoff. Low cost, a little better sound, and no drone.

I personally really like the JBAs. They have a powerful sound and, at least for me, I could feel and hear the car and it was as though it was actually able to breath once I replaced the stock one with the JBA

Add me to the JBA list... I really like how it sounds, but there is a bit of a drone when I am on the freeway...
I am hoping to go to duels soon and would love to do duel JBA's, but I am afraid of what that will sound like on the freeway! It's fine when I am alone, it's not annoying, but it makes it hard to talk to passengers, I feel like we have to shout to talk...
