Best mufflers for 3" X-Pipe Dumps?

I've had Sweet Thunder mufflers on my car for about a year, I'd like to change them out. Mods are full bolt ons, cam only, tuned, etc. Just wondering what you guys think are the best mufflers for a 3" Dumped setup. I love the Sweet Thunders however sometimes I think they're a tad bit too much. I was thinking about Borla XR1s. Opinions are greatly appreciated, thanks guys!

I think the Borla XR1's will be just as loud or louder. Might want to look into Magnaflow if you are looking to tame it down.

I'm just looking for an overall better sound. The Sweet Thunders sound great under WOT, but for just cruising I think it sounds kinda like a dumptruck IMO

I have TSP rumbler bullets. I thought they would be as loud as dynomax bullets. They are pretty quiet.

I considered sweet thunders. I also thought about 1 chamber flowmasters or dynomax bullets.

Space is an issue. May need to massage the floor pan of the car to get a real muffler under there. Flowmaster 10's, Borla oval mufflers, etc.. Those will still be nearly as loud but at least they will have some tone rather than just loud ***
