I've had both and have recently went back to a ORY. I loved the way my TD's sounded but the drone on the hwy killed my ears and I got tired of not hearing the radio. Now it's got a good tone and I cant hear it on the hwy. Car still runs just as good.

Well I am gonna weigh back in on this as I decided to make the switch back to an ORY and Magnaflow catback. I just got tired of the scraping, I wake up my family when I come home late, girls complain and want to know why its so loud, I blew most the speakers in the car trying to hear it over the drone at highway speeds, and Im pretty sure my interior is rattling apart. Just not worth the minimal gains over an ORY setup especially for a DD...if it was a weekend car it wouldnt be as much of a problem...
