The magnaflow drones but not as bad as that cheap ebay thing. It actually got less and less over time I think due to burn in. If you keep your stock 05/06 middy it won't drone as bad, it's when I put on the z/coupe middy that it did create some. Not unbearable, but noticeable. Maybe Swivel can chime in and give his opinion of his HKS, but to me it was less deep and more "note". Its too bad as we had a meet on the weekend in which we could've done some comparisons. 
Take some more vids! Youtube has almost none!
I still got my 05 Sedan MP so I can test with that and Coupe MP

Not necessarily. The mid pipe is a bolt-on so you could always swap them out. Thats what I do. I have a coupe mid-pipe, and my stock sedan mid which has a Magnaflow resonator.. Unless your setup doesnt have the OEM joints and flanges..

After months of searching online, and watching KevcoG35's video on Youtube roughly 100 times, I decided on the Magnaflow 14830.
I compared the sound of both the 14815 and 14830, and from my research the 14830 has a deeper/throatier sound (which is what I was looking for). The 14815 still sounds deep too, but it is also quite raspy.
I had my Magnaflow 14830 installed last week, and mated with my Coupe mid-pipe, it sounds incredible. The sound between 3-4000 RPM can only be described as god-like.
Slight drone when you let off the gas and coast to a stop at a light, but other than that, pretty quiet when you're not on it.
I'll post a startup/idle/rev/drive-away video tomorrow on my day off.
Oh and for those budget-minded G drivers, I picked up my Magnaflow 14830 off eBay from seller gemstatehp and they were great. Shipped it from Cali next day, had it in Toronto, Canada within 4 days. Asking price is $193.70, I put in an offer of $180 and they took it. $18 for shipping to Canada. Got it shipped to my door for under $200. Here's the link for anyone interested.
