Default Need help on exhuast setup!!!

Mods are in sig. Way back when, I put the 12" dynomax bullet muffler in my I-Pipe and it sounded awesome! Now I went with LT's and ORY and wow does this sound bad at WoT. Sounds great at idle and normal acceleration but when you get on it you get rasp city.

I've read alot of people have been happy with borlamouth (XR1 put in the I-pipe). Hooker has had some good reviews too. So here are the ideas I had:

1). Have the bullet removed and replaced with the Borla XR1.

2). Put a Hooker aerochamber muffler in the muffler spot.

3). Put on a full Hooker 3" catback.

I'm kind of leaning towards number 1 but I could really use some input here. Thanks in advance for your input/advice.

Better check the final price of the rumbler. It was gonna cost over 250 to get it to my door. Thats BS for just straight pipe with a cheap bullet. The Hooker can be had for about 20 more dollars.

I would do the Borla XR-1. If you want to tame it down for cheap price get a Moroso spiral flow and put it in there.

Hooker would probably sound the least raspy of your choices. I have not heard an LS1 w/ory that didn't have a noticably raspy sound to it.

borlamouth all the way. there is little to no rasp in all rpm ranges. the only thing you will have is some drone but only if you are in like 3rd going like 15mph. i am very happy with the xr1. i was thinking about doing the hooker catback too, i am glad i went with the xr1.
