Default which sounds better

i know everyone is going to say search but i dont think you can tell from exhaust video. which do you think sounds better for a true dual system flomaster single chamber, or dynomax bullets which is louder and sounds best?
im going to be running a 3in system from Lts with high flo cats with x pipe, just wondering all your opinons if you feel somthing else tell me what

Which sounds better? Sound is a very subjective quality. When I was a teenager I thought open headers sounded "best".

Describe the sound you are looking for to get a more accurate answer.

Warning: You will not get a consensus on this issue.

I'd say single chambers. I have them on my 3" H-pipe with no cats, and love it. And, it's still louder than hell. I'm going to throw some high flow cats on it, when I get my new motor done, to tame it down a little. I think with cats, it'll sound perfect.
