Default Thoughts on muffler/bullet dumped after ORY?

I have LT's and ORY through the stock catback and its just too tame and not the best tone in the world. I want something a little more aggressive and deeper. I heard a lt, ory car with a borla xr1 dumped right before the rear at the lsx shootout and it sounded good but it was a cammed car. A friend has two magnaflow 4x9's from his duals and said he might let me use one to try? What do you guys think, louder than duals, bout the same? Would the drone be bad or about the same as his duals were? Any suggestions on the setup and what other mufflers/bullets do you think would sound good?

Thanks,
Josh

Why not just get an electronic cut-out that way when you want to be loud, hit the switch, when wanting to be stealthy, flick the switch again. =) Best of both worlds.

I just put a moroso spiralflow on my ory and dumped it.

It sounds good - not too loud. No rasp, drone and no popping on decel. Just good clean sound.

It's way better than the flowmaster replacement muffler & stock catback.

I'll see how much of a difference it made power wise this weekend when I get it to the track.

You can get spiral flows from summit. A muffler off the y pipe dumped sounds just like duals. Done built plenty of them.

The muffler was $50 from summit.

I'll see if I can get some pic's and sound clip this weekend.

It sounds bad ***. I'm really glad I went with the spiral flow instead of the race magnum.

Really? I picked up 1/2mph over the flowmaster......and I didn't even get a clean pass. Either way everyone loved how it sounded.

It's getting a hooker setup this spring anyways - after driving it most of today, it's way too loud for me.
