Which is louder?? I'm wanting to hear from guys who've heard both setups personally.
Which is louder on the outside/inside?? Drone etc.
1. LT's / ORY / GMMG
2. LT's / TSP True Duals.

my lt1 has lts and true duals, i get a funny vibration/drone around 1800-2100rpms... it is loud as hell at wot, but kinda tame when im not on it, still a hell of a lot louder than stock tho.... havent heard the other setup, but my lts are from lanes performance, and they were worth the money, came as all one piece and they just slid onto the headers... Love my setup, but i have a bad exhaust leak cuz i use the band clamps and they suck...

My new set up is Kook's LT with TSP TD and this set up sounds so much better than the old one. I'm not a big fan of ORY pipes but I love the sound of True Duals. Before I ran my duals out the back there was no rasp. I have a very little bit now. Before with the old set up it was awfully raspy. I would say go with the TD system.

Well my current setup is the LT's / ORY / GMMG and it's fuggin loud 
but it's also my daily driver so it tends to get a little old ya know. Plus I was thinking I could pick up some HP and lose some weight by switching to the Duals. If it was a little quiter it'd be even better.
I have a buddy here with the duals ( haven't ridden with him yet, car is down) who went to the track with me and told me my car was f*cking loud so maybe it is louder than his setup??

yea I have LT's, ORY, GMMG and it's pretty damn loud, drones in the car around 1800-2100, I've had 2.5 X pipie duals with spiral flows dumped and my GMMG is definitely louder then the duals. I know the bullets are louder then the spiral flows but I've never heard duals with bullets....

Id have to say the duals are louder depending on the muffler you choose.I have true duals w/ bullets and no x pipe , and can hardly stand it.Its always loud . At least w/ the ORY/gmmg setup you can think in your car ,listen to the radio, and have a conversation w/ someone on the phone as long as your not at the 2100-2500 rpm range. I speak from experience.Between 2 of my friends and myself we just about covered most aftermarket exhuast systems and of all ended up with a similar setup.That is LT - x pipe - bullets - dumps/except mine exits out the back.Heres my conclusion.
ORY=drone 2100-2500prm=loud interior=headache
ORY=WOT=loud in any car outside
TD's=more throttle more noise at any rpm in the interior
TD's=WOT=loud in any car outside
TD's=NO DRONE=NO headache on long trips
TD's=w/ tailpipes=less interior noise
ORY=drone 2100-2500prm=loud interior=headache
ORY=WOT=loud in any car outside
TD's=more throttle more noise at any rpm in the interior
TD's=WOT=loud in any car outside
TD's=NO DRONE=NO headache on long trips
TD's=w/ tailpipes=less interior noise

Here's an idea for you:
Keep everything you have, but swap out the offroad pipes for some good highflow cats (Carsound, Magnaflow, Random Tech). It's truly amazing how much better the tone of the GMMG is with cats than without!. And although it is still LOUD at WOT this way, it will be a little quieter overall than with the ORY.
BTW, I run Kooks LT's w/ their highflow catted Y-pipe through my GMMG and the sound is super deep & clean throughout the rpm range. I even like the "tone" better than any true dual set-up I've heard in person. Other cat-backs don't even compare IMO. And the drone is basically non-existent whereas it was very noticeable in the true dual cars I've been in...
Here are a few nice sound clips of what the GMMG with LT's & highflow cats sounds like outside/inside the car...

well I had the high flow cats when I first got the setup. then I went through 2 cats in 3 months and got sick of it. (yes It's been tuned)
well the loudness is more of a bonus issue. I'm also looking at the weight savings and hp gains

You'll probably love it, but it's not my cup of tea...

Well I guess I was a little confusing. I was hoping that the dumps with the spiral flow mufflers would be a little quieter than my current setup while showing gains and losing weight.
