Yeah thats where I found out about it, but there is very limited info there. I generally like to get the opinion of someone who has it and is not trying to sell me something, before I buy it.
If I call they'll likely just regurgitate the info thats on their site.
This is the info from their site, I don't really need some CSR telling 'well it produce gains of 10-12HP' because thats what is on their computer screen.

I have a Magnaflow "racing series" universal (louder straight-through design) and it really isn't that loud to me. There are many styles available if you look on their website. They also make a "street series" in many of the same styles, and it is supposed to be significantly quieter. I'm guessing it wouldn't be much louder than stock.

No I don't think it's loud at all, but you can always hear it. It has a very nice tone, cause it mostly just lets the low-frequencies through. It is loudest between 3k and 4k, and the sound drops off above that (and my intake is louder above 4k anyway). Combined with the intake I think my car sounds great. Love the sounds!

Magnaflow is not loud at all. It definetly is not as loud as the Mazdaspeed version. When I first had my Magnaflow installed it sounded the same as factory til about 4500 rpms, so I went back and removed the resonator pipe, and it sounds nice now
I paid $150 installed at just a local muffler shop.

I never had a chance to clean the muffler
completely but both the muffler and the pre muffler have a mirror
finish. The part number for the Magnaflow muffler is 14829. The pre
muffler is number 14415. The exhaust was cut off at the hangers
after the first catalytic converter. I left it sticking out about 1
inch or so you can read the MAGNAFLOW PERFORMANCE etched into the
top of the tip. In the car you hear a slight low tone when coasting
down through the rpm range. Cruising speed you don't hear it unless
you stomp on it. The buzzing / revving noise from the engine at
cruising speed is gone. It sounds nice only hearing the low deep
tone of the AEM intake when accelerating. I will get some sound
clips of the muffler and my AEM intake as soon as possible.
