how would you compare the apexi ws and a magnaflow on a sound level 1-10.. also where would you throw your es oval w/ custom pipping on that same scale..thanks,
i'm looking for a quiet exhaust..nothing loud.. but i also need to keep it on a budget.

I like some of the older bikes they are great for long rides. I help a buddy of mine work on KZ's and GS1100's all the time.

The Magnaflow is quiet untill WOT then it gets pretty deep. The Apexi WS is one of the quietest exhaust out and it also sounds good at WOT but its pricey. I can't comment one the ES oval since I have never heard one. Oh and I can get you a Magnaflow cat-back cheaper than anyone.

es oval is on par with the magnaflow system as far as its sound qualities
