Default How will my new setup sound?

Pacesetter LT's, TSP Catted Y pipe w/ high flow cats, and a Borla XR-1 Muffler. My last muffler was a hooker aerochamber. I loved how it sounded but the baffles broke loose inside the muffler and it was really annoying me. My question is how will XR-1 sound compared to the old Aerochamber? Louder, quieter? Hopefully I didnt make a mistake :/

Thanks.

Ill bump with sound clips/pics after install

Mines is decently loud at idle. I don't have cats though. It's nice and deep cruising around town, and probably a little quieter than LM2 at WOT. I only have rasp when I punch it, but that's because of no cats. If you like louder than hooker and the borla sound you'll like it. I prefer it to my brothers SS that has LT's, ORY, cat in the I-pipe and GMMG...his is raspy, mine is not. I'll see if I can post a video up later for you.

Sorry for the delay man, here ya' go. The vids don't really do it justice though, it sounds way better in person.

I'll try to get a better vid this weekend or something. The video quality on that camera isn't that good, maybe I'll try it from my iPhone. Lol.
