Default Pacsetters+ory+borla or lpp headers+tds

Ok,I wanted to go tds this time around but cost is huge noadays. I will either go lpp tds whick would be 875 or I will go pacessetters+ory+the borla that was already on my car when I bough it. The borla alone is the non udjustable and goes for 750 new. The pacesetters and ory + needed stuff is 420

So what would you do?

lpp = 875

or Pacsetters+ory+borla = 420

sell the borla after you get it off and put the tds on and you won't be out much money and the sound will make it worth it.

i had lpp tds, catted xpipe, tds with sweetthunder mufflers. i now have lpp lts, catted y, magnaflow and an e-cutout and i will never go back to a td system.

im an auto and with those exhaust mods as my only power mods i put down 350hp and 365tq so i dont see my car as being down on power without the td system

in the end it really boils down to what sounds the best to you

Thats part of the problem. Im not sure what a td system sounds like in person on my car compaired to a ory.

Both sounds great, only a matter of what is easier and cost less for you.

On the other hand, I'll tell you that my next exhaust is going to be TD, just to be different since I'm running my ORY for the 4th year now...

so how do you compair that settup with the tds? How much louder are the tds? how much better do the tds sound? do you think a ory would sound just as good as the tds?

i would be saving like 455 by just getting the pacesetters, ory, and keeping the borla.
and after hearing all the bs about grinding and motor mounts for the lpps i might just go with the cheaper option but still not sure lol

There really wasnt that much grinding. You will wish you went LPP or some other stainless once your pacesetters start rusting or pealing.
