my car with borla or magnaflow mufflers

I know some of you have heard my car with the current setup that i have (apex'i exti and bonez high flow cat) its pretty loud normally and the open wastegate doesnt help. I want to tone the regular driving noise down a bit and perhaps plumb the wastegate into the downpipe.

the two alternatives that i was looking at were borla race mufflers (i would probably get 2 of them and place them one before and one after the cat) or one or two magnaflow XL turbo mufflers.

how much would the borla mufflers tone down the exhaust note, i mean they are race mufflers so i guess one could not expect much. What are your opinions on the magnaflow mufflers (i want this car to be quiet now, so i'm not obnoxiously loud all the time but i dont want to create as much backflow as a silencer)

tell me what you think:

2 borla mufflers + bonez cat + exti catback
or
1-2 magnaflow mufflers + bonez cat + exti catback

its time to quiet down this beast guys, i'm sick of sounding like im going ***** out every time i drive it semi-spirited lol

also on another note has anyone tried fitting something like a supertrap motorcycle muffler to the wastegate (alternative to plumbing it into the exhaust system which in turns subjects the cat to the full force and heat of the turbo)

just a thought
