its not difficult to produce a more free flowing exhaust. i would only want to pay for a higher priced exhaust if it was made of better material (titanium for example) but if youre comparing stainless steel mufflers to other stainless steel mufflers, i think cheaper ones can be just as good as more expensive brands...also, magnaflow has been in the business for quite a while and i am sure they know how to make a more free flowing exhaust...
