Default Borla/magnaflow/LM1?

Hey i have pacesetter lts/ory pipe with magnaflow catback. its just not quite loud enough for me so i planned on tradeing it for the lm1 cuz thats what my buddy has and its loud. then another guy is going to give me a deal on his old borla and i forgot how it sounded. i knew it sounded good but not if it was loud. Is it loud? What do you guys think is the best.....Thanx!

LM sounds like *** with LT/ ORY...IMO......Borla you can adjust if it's too loud you can possibly quite it down. You can get a cut-out and be loud when you want.

I had the Borla for along time and I thought it sounded damn good with a stock y pipe and manifolds. It was loud and had a nice tone, but I wanted louder. I thought! I got Lt's,ORY, and the LM1, It sounded really good for a while then it just gets loud and real raspy, almost sounds like a v6 with dual straightipipes in between 2k-3k rpm. I love how loud it is,but I really miss the tone of the borla. So i'm trying the Sweet thunders true duals next. I'm never satisfied

Go with the Borla. Especially if it's the adjustable version. I loved mine with LTs and ORY. It's not that loud with the plate in, but still sounds pretty healthy. I wish I never got rid of mine.

Get the Borla. LM1 is good with no LTs/ORY. Magnaflow is kinda quiet
