Default Best Muffler?

Does anyone know what kind of muffler is the best for mostly performance and not so much sound? I want something that wont be too loud.

Thanks

I hear borla is good and really cuts down on the sound. Personally I don't like the sound of them. Maybe the 22 inch magnaflows.

I have a Magnaflow Cat-Back and I like it. Kind of quiet, but I hear they are good for perfomance. Thinking about dumpiong it right after the muffler to get more sound.

I have a JBA Evol catback system. It is made by Magnaflow from what I hear. It flows real nice and I love the sound, especially since I cut all the piping right after the muffler off.

Flowmaster 70 series big block muffler. Silent at idle and cruise, rumbly at 1/4 throttle, nice at 1/2 throttle, everyone knows I have a V-8 at 3/4 and full throttle.

The flowmaster 3" big block muffler picked mine up about .3 tens and is not too loud! I think it sounds great!
