Default Loudmouth or Cutout?

Right now I have pacesetter LT headers, ORY, and flowmaster catback. I need something louder so should I go with loudmouth or save the money and put a cut out in? Which would sound better? What about TSP rambler? I know its pretty much the same as the LM but about $50 cheaper.

Do a cut-out.
Putting a loudmouth catback will make the car VERY raspy and crappy sounding (imo) with the header's you have.

I have the flowmaster 80s I thought about changing it but I just got a cutout. It does not sound that bad might not flow good but that is what the cutout is for.

definately a cutout, I speak from experience.

The loudmouth is nice, but it is also always there (cant stress that enough).

I ended up putting an SLP dual dual on my car with a cutout to have the best of both worlds.

Loudmouth is ok if you're still on stock maniflods with cats, but when you get LTs they sound awful. WAAY to much rasp.

Here is a pic of my home made cutout. I have had it for about a year now and no problems. A muffler shop charged my $35.00.
