I have been listening to two of them on youtube and I am having a hard time deciding. They both sound different in every video and I don't anyone who has them.

Is one much louder than the other? One deeper sounding?

I am also getting an Injen CAI

Stock exhaust sounds best. Aftermarket just sounds like rice.

From all the variations I have heard, my preference is magnaflow.

I run a Magnaflow and my friend uses the TRD/Borla. The Borla is much louder and sounds more... well ricey. The Magnaflow gives you a true cat-back and has a much deeper, more refined tone IMO. My car is turbo and my other friend is also (not the Borla/TRD guy) and he also has a magnaflow muffler from a corvette kit that he had laying around. Custom 2.5" piping and his sounds just like mine. Sooo quiet until you lay into it, then it just sounds like a CAI. Turbo's tend to make the exhaust sound a bit quieter though compared to NA with CAI, Header, and cat-back.

Are you serious? What aftermarket exhausts have you heard to prove this?

and OP, go with the Magnaflow. You won't regret going catback.
