Default Still not happy!!

The first time I messed with the exhaust I did the Dynomouth. That sounded great and was the cheapest I found. Well I just got Kooks and ORY. I hated the way the car sounded when I picked it up. I thought it sounded like 20 angry Hondas. I went straight to a muffler shop down the street and had them put a magnaflow back in the spot where the stock muffler was.
I am still not happy with the way it sounds. I want a deeper tone. Should I take out the Dynomax bullit, replace it with a borla, or just go with true duals and some 4x9s, and if I do that do I need Cats to quiet down the rasp.

Help!!!!! I'm lost.

if you want a nice deep tone, duals are the way to go.

Honestly, the lack of cats may be your problem. Other than that, I would look at the hooker muffler or the GMMG.

A y-pipe with no cats will rasp.

I have LTs through a catted Y and a Corsa catback and it is a deep but subdued rumble until you get on it when it sounds VERY nice.
