Question Borla vs Magnaflow

I have a 1990 Lexus LS400, and was wanting to add aftermarket exhaust. After doing a little research, I have come to 2 different exhausts and would appreciate your comments. Which one would give me the low bass sound at idle, and then sound really good when "flooring it"? If you have the either one on your car, how does it sound? Thanks!!

I haven't heard those before but i would recommend Apexi Dunk or Apexi N1. It makes a very nice sound for the V8 engine even with just the mufflers.

I put the Magnaflow on and I think it sounds great! I did cut off the resonators too. Not to loud - sound great under load.

I put on the Magnaflow #14813 which can be seen here:
