Default Which "mouth" to go with?

So I added LTs and an ORY to my car, and I have the SLP LM1 right now. I love how loud it is, I'm just not a fan of the tone between 2200-4k rpms it like pops and cackles (i know rasp, and I knew this was coming). I'm looking for a muffler thats just as loud as the LM1 or at least almost as loud, except with a better overall tone. I was looking at either powersticks, borla xr-1, dynomax bullet, or a flowmaster 10 series. Any input on which would give me what I'm looking for? I've listened to a ton of sound clips on youtube and ls1sounds, but camera's don't do them justice.

I had the Borla on as of yesterday but now have a cutout and no muffler because the borla was too big and wouldn't allow for the cutout to fit. Now i'm going with 2 Magnaflow bullets right before the tips to kill some sound/rasp.

Got any sound clips? I'm soon to add LTs & catted Y and I'm hoping it doesn't become obnoxious. I love the way it sounds now with just the catback.

Add another one to this list. Ill have my ARH and catted Y with an LM1. Im going to put them on then decide how it sounds. Im stumped what to go with. LM exhausts are nice to have because we can swap out bullets, question is what one to go with. If any of you guys do the spintecs or something cool let me know. I wish LS1sounds had more cars without cams. I would love to hear a LM 1 with LT's and Catted Y.

On my dads car he has lt's ory and had lm1 and it was way to loud!! He put the lm2 resonator in the place of the lm1 and it quieted it down not to bad but it got rid of alot of the rasp. I love it and thats the setup i'm gonna run.

i think i've decided that I want a really deep tone over the high pitched sound that it has now. sounds great at WOT, but I want something with a little more ***** down low...anyone have a flowmaster 10 series single chamber, powerstick, or spintech super prostreet?
