Default Best sounding mufflers with least drone

Im picking up a 2004 mustang GT this weekend, and id like to throw a new exhaust on it asap. For now id like to just swap the mufflers out rather than doing the whole exhaust system.

So my question is, what would you guys reccomend that sound great and dont have much drone? I can get magnaflow mufflers fairly cheap from work.. My friend is telling me to keep saving and buy the SLP LM2 system..

Thoughts/Opinions?

Thanks

SLP LM2 Is by far my choice on the 4.6, everything about this exhaust is perfect!

I love my LM2's, they get loud above 2k rpms so you can cruise without too much drone but sound like a beast when you get on it.

40's sound ok. But its not what the OP is asking for. Flows=drone.

Anything chambered will give you drone. If you want chambered but want as least drone as possible go with MAC. If you don't care for chambered and don't want drone, go with any straight through(slp,magna,borla)

My 40's drone if I'm turning more than 2k rpms. Despite a lot of people jumping ship because they don't make power, everyone has them, etc... as far as I'm concerned a set of 40's on a Mustang is how a car is supposed to sound.

I love my flows but they do drone. I have considered swapping to a LM2 to eliminate the drone, but man does it sound great when you get on it.
