Magnaflow will sound good, but be a bit quieter. Random Tech will be a bit louder than that. And the Y-pipe dumped will be VERY loud and sound like crap.
I have Magnaflow and love it, but it's worth it to look around and see what you want.

I was also thinking about running a 3.5" moroso spiral flow dumped off the Muffex Y, I would try the Y dumped because it will be a little cheaper then the catback, I've never heard a random tech, but I have heard a magnaflow in person, they sounds alright.

You could do what I did...
I put the stock muffler back on and ran a 3.5" cutout before the axle. Make sure that if you choose this route to get an electric cutout. They are a ton of fun to play with and it is very nice to be able to have a quiet car when you want one.

i think that i will go with the y pipe dumped with spintech pro street or a sweethunder muffler because it will be cheaper. And will it really sound like crap?

Y-pipes sound like crap to a lot of people unless properly muffled. But if you are still running stock manifolds and cats it should be alright, the cats keep the rasp largely under control.

I think it would sound better, but its a subjective opinion. If I was wanting to run dumps, I'd say screw the Ypipe and just run true duals w/ the same mufflers you were talking about or some other type of bullet. That'd sound the best, and probably be just as much as buying a full catback system from someone like Corsa, B&B or Borla.
