Sportex, Janspeed, Magnex, which Backbox is best for a nice subtle sound?

   I do dude. I chose the magnex for the same reasons you're asking. I didn't want an overly loud exhaust note or anything too metallic or 'pingy'. Depending on whether your running a catalytic converter or not will make the biggest difference. With a Cat on, the sound is slightly more 'roary' compared to standard. Over 4k rpm it's noticeable.
   
   Without a Cat, it's noticeably louder at idle and more pulse-y. Generally quieter than the average aftermarket backbox at normal toodling around but much more boomy at full throttle and high rpm.
