Dynomax - is it quiet?

I'm looking at the Dynomax Cat-back. There is a choice of the super turbo muffler, or the ultra flo muffler. I'm looking for something quite. which muffler is quieter? not dronning, but peaceful. anyother recomadations for a quite but flowing cat-back system.

I'd keep my OE system, but my intermidate pipe just blew out by the Dual cats.
thx

super turbo will be closest to stock. Ultra flow will be LOUD

i have ultraflo on my 305TPI and it is loud only when revved upwards of 2500, below that it just sounds like a mean car but suttle

My super turbo is not all that quiet. It has probably around 10,000 miles on it.

Oh, and I have stock exhaust manifolds, cat, and pipes. (305 TBI)

had my super turbo catback for 5 years and it is very mellow and sounds great on the gas but I am switching to something wilder because there is one thing I dont like about my dynomax -- it is not low enough. when I listen to other systems like the flows and hookers they have a much lower boomier tone that I like.
the dynomax sounds more like an open exhaust with a huge cam-- just air escaping -- no real earth shaking RUMBLE.
there is one advantage that the dynomax system has -- I think its the highest flowing crossflow system. good HP boost.
