get your lady friend to listen to the soundclip at the top of the page. I have a similar setup but I put the Borla XR-1 on my Borla catback because the RASP was ridiculous after I installed my LTs and ORY.

I have the Borlamouth, like the sound. Had it for several years now.Note that other than the LM and the Borla, my exhaust is stock (stock headers, cats, Y). No rasp, fairly deep tone. It can get a little annoying at interstate speeds (1500-2000 rpms w/A4, 2.73s) until it warms up really good. The LM has always seemed to change tone between cold and hot.
Popping as you get in and out of the throttle? I don't think thats the exhaust's fault. Mine will crackle with my catback or cutout open, Its usually caused my excess fuel igniting as it enters the manifolds.

SmokingWS6 hit the nail on the head. If you are getting the popping (aka raz) when you are getting off the throttle, it's excess fuel lighting off in the exhaust system. Changing the muffler won't help that.
FWIW, I have a boarla mouth with the xr-1 oval muffler. It took me a while to find the right spot to fit the muffler with out having to bang the floor board in. The exhuast sounded bad *** untill I !cats. With the cats out, I get some rasp. Definately sounded better with the cats, but I prefer to have the extra HP.
If I had to do it over again, I would get the round xr-1 instead of the oval.
