Default redoing my exhaust...ideas..

this isnt the first time i post this but am still confused...currently running LTs > custom 3" ory > flowtech terminator muffler which i dislike.....now i have some money to waste and am sick of the harsh metallic sound of my exhaust. i already have flowmaster 3 to 3.5 merge which is waiting to be put on. question is which muffler to buy! i want deep, refined and NOT loud sounding exhaust (6\10) loud...i live in middle east, heavy mufflers are VERY $$ to ship. options are:

magnaflow 12267 which will cost me 100$ to ship!!

stick 2 bullets somewhere in the I pipe?

OR an oval magnaflow 3.5" placed in factory location? (should be quiet enough)

I do want 2 tips in the back for the looks and i already have dual dual tips too...am torn here!! opinions please or else money will be spent somewhere else!!

PS: i dont mind buying used if anyone of you guys have some for sale..sorry for the long post! opinions!!

Too bad you couldn't just run an x with any 2 mufflers. Then run your tips out the back . Then...... you'll never have to make this (y/catback) decision again.

IMO, you'll need to go with a muffler in the stock location, and there all heavy.
What configuration do you want, 3.5" inlet/ 2.5" dual outlet, 3.5" inlet/ 3" dual outlet, or 3.5" inlet /3.5" outlet ?

If you're trying to minimize cost since shipping is so much, you can get a Hooker #21507HKR Aero Chamber (3.5" center in/3.5" center out) muffler for about $70.

You could throw a Borla XR1 in there.

you always have an exhaust solution i dont mind spend some money but at least i dont want to do it twice. this aero chamber looks nice! but will it sound deep and not crazy loud you think? i dont care what configuration to b honest as long as it sounds and flows great

I would lean towards the Magnaflow #12909 first and then the Dynomax Ultra Flo #17517, I think those would be your best options.
