Default Sound help

My car currently has a straight pipe version of the SLP LM1 because of the the resonator cracked. As far as sound goes, which would give me the best tone between a dynomax bullet, LM2 bullet, powerstick, or moroso spiral flow?

get a dynomax bullet or a borla xr-1 muffler. The Lm2 will eventually sounds like the lm1, trust me i had a lm2. the xr-1 should reduce the rasp a bit

the front part of my exhaust was welded to my y pipe to prevent any leaks, but the way the old LM1 muffler sat when i looked at it before it was removed, was about 1/4in away from the driveshaft. you could tell at somepoint the LM1 was hitting the driveshaft because the driveshaft had a ring around it where it would rub. the shotgun resonator was 4.5in in diameter, so i'd need something smaller...
