Default True dual mufflers?

I have an 01 WS6 and i plan on getting 3" duals for it. Ill be using Pacesetter LT's, but im not sure which mufflers and cats to use. I will be having a local shop fab everything else. I was thinking for mufflers either Magnaflow 4x9's or Borla Xr1's. Im shooting for a deep throaty sound with little to no rasp. Keep in mind that this is a DD and i cant have it too loud. Post some vids of your set up. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Get the Magnaflows. I had them and they sounded deep but not obnoxiously loud.
