Cant decide between two exhaust setups. Im tryin to decide between:
Pacesetter longtubes/TSP ORY/Magnaflow catback or
Pacesetter longtubes/TSP True duals w/sweet thunders
They will cost about the same. Im just worried the Magnaflow will be too quiet/tame, but i dont think the TD's will be too loud. I have a formula and dont think they look good at all without tips, which is why i havent decided on the TDs.
Any Opinions?

TDs hands down....for sound and performance.
although you may consider doing your own build. that way you can run 2.5" and keep more clearance.
of if you really want tips run duals side by side over the axle and put tips on them. build it with 2 sets of dynomax pipes. you can buy the Ipipe and the axle hump section from summit. the setup for the v6 camaros is 2.5" instead of 3"

Besides, if you take road trips you'll probably get tired of the drone after the first 500 or so miles.

these are the exact same two setups i have come down to as well, but i dont want tips because camaros look way better without them! im leaning towards the duals but the idea of having a quieter setup and being able to open a cutout when i want the power and sound would be really nice...if i do the catback i think i am going to cut the tips off and just let it dump on the sides of the muffler...sorry to hijack, but has anyone done something similar to this?

Go with the catback. I just took off my TD's with sweet thunders. They sounded great, but drone on trips, rattles, and negative attention were enough for me to ditch them. I've been wrestling with my Hooker and ORY lately and it is a pain in the neck, I don't think the Kooks ORy and Hooker cb were made to go together lol.

True Duals. I switched from Catted Y/GMMG to X-pipe/Spiral Flows. Great sound. I did it purely for a money thing, as money is tight and I need a clutch, but I don't mind the TA without the tips in the rear bumper. The sound from the TDs more than makes up for it.

+1 on needing some tips out the back... I think it would look a little odd..
I'm one of the few that is going to say Magnaflow... but I'm also going to say it has to be with a cut out..
.. I have Pacesetter's and their Y all the way back to a 3 inch cutout and then the pipe steps down to 2.5 into a flowmaster... gives the best of both worlds... closed = quiet and like a normal DD.. and open = sounds good and begs to be beat on... With that said, I usually drive with it open for the most part, but it makes it nice to have the choice to be quiet or not.. Plus it lets you rope in unsuspecting victims and then open it up the cut out and watch the look on their face.. haha

one more thing i wouldnt worry about the tips, the more ive seen without them the more it grows on you. if it ends up bothering you just get some dummy tips to put back there.
