    Which would give me a deeper sound? A magnaflow muffler with dual exhaust? or a magnaflow catback? Again, im just wondering about deepness and fullness of sound, not performance.

    Well you have a 4cyl so dual exhaust is really not true dual exhaust. Get the full catback.

    You are going to spend a lot more money for a cat back to get more or less the same sound.
    The stock piping is pretty good- put a better muffler in there and you are good to go.
    Just a matter of checking out the site and YouTube for clips to to figure out what tone you like best...cause I think folks tend to say the flowmasters sounds better...but choke off the engine performance wise a lil bit more.

    Remember you are driving a 2.7L engine- It's not going to sound like a 6L V8 diesel...
