Default What size bullet to run?

I have the original LM system on my car and I can't take much more of the drone from 1800-2100, especially with the new engine. I'm looking into getting ANY sort of resonator to replace the one I have in the LM but I'm not sure which one I should get. I've heard mixed reviews on whether a dynomax bullet or borla xr-1 is the way to go. I'm not looking for a "which is better" here, I'm looking for which one (and what size) will sound great and get rid of that damn drone. Thanks guys.

BORLA XR-1 is definitely the way to go.

Borla part number: 40085

Borla is nice but pricey. Go with a Moroso Spiralflow. Sounds BADASS, very similar to the Borla, but doesn't cost nearly as much. I LOVE mine.

Hmm... can we get some pricing on both... possibly which sponsor has the better deal on them. I think I'm leaning toward the Dynomax Bullet because of the greater ground clearance as I already have trouble with my SLP y-pipe.

Yea I know but you can't hear drone in a sound clip, that's why I'm asking which one kills the drone best of the two, but that I'm leaning more towards the Bullet for clearance.
