Default Borla XR1's or Dynatech split flow mufflers?

Well i'm going to be swapping out my bullets for some new "less loud" mufflers. I got it down to either the Borla XR1's
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...=DTC-76-014302 or BOR-40944 or BOR-40943&Ntk=&rsview=sku&Ns=P_SRE_DisplayPrice|0
or the Dynatech split flow mufflers
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...=DTC-76-014302 or BOR-40944 or BOR-40943&Ntk=&rsview=sku&Ns=P_SRE_DisplayPrice|0
They are pretty much the same muffler except:
Borla is all stainless
borla is 16" case dyna is 14" case
borla is 7 7/8" wide and dyna is 7" wide
oh and ofcouse two Borla's are $275 and two dynatechs are $180.

Here is the inside of the Borla


Here is the insidwe of the dynatech

So what do you think?

Do you have another choice that is not straight through? If you are looking for less loud, then the ones you have chosen will be only a tiny bit quieter. Trust me, lol.

No. I'de rather have the all out power than anything else.
I am first going to put a divider "baffle" in my bullets like the above mufflers have and put some turndowns on them. After i install the Trex i'll see truely just how loud it is. The one thing i completely forgot about is that bigger mufflers = more weight. And i just can't have that.

Haha, well, at least you know what you want! The turndowns will probably help a decent bit.

It barely toned it down volume-wise but it eliminated almost all of the rasp.
