Ok, I pulled the trigger on the Magnaflow split back black axle back today. Hopefully it comes in soon so I can get it hooked up.

I couldn't agree more. I love my 99 Trans Am with it's long tube headers and high flow exhaust system that can rattle the dishes out of the cupboard in the kitchen, but I just laugh at the sound of these exhausts. Flowmaster in the LSx world is the laughing stock of mufflers. Nick named "SlowMaster", hands down the worst chambered exhaust you can throw on a LSx motor.
And as for that Quadratec exhaust, that looks like something some highschool kid fab'ed up in metal shop class. The dual pipes are too close together and hang down way to low. I have a problem with dragging, and smashing the stock exhaust pipe, those look like they would drag just pulling out of my driveway. And then to show a dyno of it with nearly no gains what so ever? And don't get me started with the burn out with a single tire spin.

Just picked up my JKU MOAB about a week ago and grabbed a Gibson muffler upgrade the first week. It's just the axle back like another user posted, was able to get mine in all black.
Gotta say, for $400 the sound cant be beat. It's pretty loud when you get on it and has a deep sound that has that V8 flow master tone to it. Very minimal noise when youre not on the gas.
I didn't necessarily want the remote start option when I went shopping for a JKU but got a great deal on the one that happened to have it. It's pretty sweet starting it up from far away and hearing that roar before you get in.

I have the MBRP Off-Road setup and like it, BUT I think I'm going to swap out the muffler with something that has a deeper tone. It's not as throaty as I would like. I know it will never sound like an 8, but I would like it to get a little closer. Muffler placement and pipe routing is good with the MBRP. I plan on keeping all that in place, but just swapping out the can.
Flowmaster is top of mind for me, but I'm not sure which one model would be best.

I finally found one that is smaller, lighter, more clearance, and quieter than most other cat-back systems
