Default Mufflex or Loudmouth??

Time for me to change my exhaust. My turn downs are blowing TOO MUCH dust on my car. What do you guys think would sound better. 4" Mufflex w/Spintech muffler or Loudmouth w/ a sweet thunder or 1 chamber.

I havent heard the mufflex at all, and im sure its a nice system, but the lm on lt's sounds plain nasty. I recently gutted my cats and no matter where I go I get attention, turns heads like crazy. Thats my vote though.

Run your duals out the back, would prolly cost less than a new system and sound / perform better than either.

I have a spintech muffler but with only 3" pipe, anyone ever heard of that before? Anyways it sounds very deep and throaty and I enjoy the sound as well as not having too much drone. Was on the car when I bought it so dont know much about it other than it rattles like a *****.

I love my Loudmouth. I have the original with no muffler, just the 4" resonator in the I-Pipe. Check it out: http://chrisnrobinsmith.com/avfiles/FUNLS1TransAm.wmv

Mufflex w/ a Mufflex Y-pipe gives you 4" diameter from Y-merge to exhaust tip. I'd do Mufflex/Spintech with a 4" QTEC in the I.
