I don't want loud I want best fit, air flow, back pressure and tidiness for install. All these mufflers are pretty drastically different

All look drastically the same to me..

different would be to use a bodied muffler vs a can like you posted. fit doesnt make much power so why give it a can thats gonna make a lot of noise?

But what's the inlet and internal pipe diam? Pictures say nothing, those three could range from 1.9 to 3inches which will make a huge difference in tone and a massive difference in low end performamce, ie itll loose power. Basically I want a professional opinion on a 1.9 inch pipe mated to a 50mm exhaust, what effect it'll have on the engines breathing, or if a 2.25 is as small as I should go

Why not just straight pipe it and put on a tip? There is a thread about that on here somewhere. Thats what I plan to do.
I dont need to spend more money on something that wont help it.. unless I am looking to go even more ricey.

They're all the same

Have you listened to sound clips? That's what's most important here in the end.

How about Fujitsubo Wagolis? That's what i'd get if I had a GD.

There's a sound clip of the Magnaflow on a GE on youtube, doesn't sound too buzzy (good), kind of rough/unrefined (meh).
