Default True Duals vs Cutouts?

Which do y'all think would work best? Right now i have TSP Y-pipe (ORY) with QTP cutouts. The only thing i hate about it is when they're capped, they make a really loud ticking noise. So they leak. I want to know what y'all think about the TSP True Duals setup? Are y'all satisfied with sound, price, and performance?

in that case i vote true duals over the axle i have had all the following set-ups

1) mac mids, catted y, borla
2) mac mids, ory, borla
3) mac mids, true duals dumped (2) 12'' dynomax bullet mufflers
4) mac mids, true duals over the axle same with 12" dynomax bullets (curent set-up)
5) soon to be pacesetter lt's with teh duals over teh axle

By far the set-up i have now sounds the best and performes well also i put down 375rwhp/372rwtq with 224cam that exhaust bolt ons and a 3000 stall.

i say go for the duals you wont be disapointed the only reason i am changing again is to swap out the macs for long tubes( for my 383) but i will keep the duals also.

I've got an exhaust shop that can come up with a plan for almost EVERYTHING. I'm sure they can yank something outta their hats on this one.

Any good Exhaust shop can do it easy. And it should not cost over $200.

True Duals are nice and everything, but I mean is this slight change in sound really worth paying for custom parts. It just seems a little over the top for the result.

true duals are NO more expensive than a full priced cat back lets say you get a borla, gmmg, corsa etc they are all around $600-$800ish. my duals were around that price to so its no more expensive its all what you want to do though

So would y'all suggest trying to get them over the axle or just leave them dumped? I've heard lots of things. Like the drone from the cab gets really annoying when it's dumped b4 the axle. Plus, i don't want the look of not having any tips. Ha, maybe i should just buy some tips, hangers, and just place some "naked" tips out the back for the look.

Id go true duals, that way it will be done right, If you dump early and dont want it or put fake tips on it you will eventually want really duals out the back and end up spending more money in the long run.... I have gone the "easy" route before and ended up spending more $$$ fixing it.... some good advise do it RIGHT the FIRST time
