Default SFR exhaust?

I need I new exhaust system. My car is an '88 Turbo S and it's completely original (other than a chip). I don't want a loud system. It seems SFR is very popular(http://www.speedforceracing.com/prod...tomexhaust.php). My questions are:
1- Should I go with the "Quiet-flow Technology" or magnaflow?
2- Any other system out there I should look at? even better, Anybody want to sell me a used system?

I have the quiet flow system from testpipe and catback and I find it very nice. I had a B&B exhaust on a 300ZXTT and it droaned so bad, this one not at all.

I have the full 3" and love it. My wife thinks it's a bit loud at times but when I push the car with her in it "oh that sounds great" so go figure. Tim makes a resonator also, that goes in place of the pipe or cat (he has a high flow version) that will tone it down a bit...you can always purchase that later, takes about 15-20 minutes to install or change and that includes jacking the car up and down.

I have the full 3" also. It sounds nice not loud. At full throttle
it sounds great.
When I install the cat for emissions it is pretty quiet.

Heads up, I think Tim's been having as supplier delay lately (based on a comment he made to me, it might be resolved by now), so depending on what you are ordering, you might have some delays in receiving it. From what I understand, Tim trys to build product on demand, rather than stocking stuff (and I totally understand that, inventory costs $'s) so if you need it right away, be sure to talk to him about it so that he can give you an idea of what to expect, timewise.
