I had a chance to compare my magnaflows and an invidia side by side and I noticed the Invidia had an octave LOWER pitch that really rounded out the sound that I was looking for. I have extensively droneproofed my S, as detailed here
I found a used Invidia in good shape and a GREAT price and went to work.
Here I JetHot coated the runners
Here is the end product
I LOVE the tapered ends and great finish details that the Invidia has
The Tips really like the heat
I found from my previous heatwrapping of the exhaust, that it was still too HOT on the pipe and coatings would turn brittle and fall off. I also wanted to END any fear of rust associated with prolonged heatwrapping, so I layered
1. JetHot Coating the runners.
2. Heatwrap
3. DAMPLIFIER PRO
4. Spectrum firewall
Looks good! I took the easy way out to kill the drone, used a non resonated test pipe (also Invidia, which acts like a resonator... how ironic). I like the Jet Hot, and I may clean up mine and use it sometime down the road. I've seen Invidias which were old, and they do oxidize. Very nice though.

When I put the testpipe on with my magnaflows, the volume went up alot from the increased flow. I am surprised people are finding a testpipe as a cure for the invidia.

And to top it off, no bleeding ears
