Default Complete exhaust lineup

Ive been doing a ton of research on opinions, dyno tests, sounds, and most of all, quality. For a complete exhaust Ive pretty much narrowed it down to one of two possibilities:

FLP LT headers > RT cats (or no cats)flowmaster ORY or close match straight to Corsa cat back system.

or

True dual consisting of FLPs, RT cats, dr gas (or close match) X pipe, 2 dynomax bullet mufflers and run it all the way to the back instead of dumps by the rear axle for a somehwat stock look.. id prolly include cut outs as well.

I like the idea of true duals but the only thing that im hesitant of is the sound. I want a loud, mean, aggressive sound across the band with a relatively tame idle (but better then stock) but i dont want it to be absolutely unbearable as this is a daily driven car.

Opinions, thoughts, suggestions? Ive read just about every post related to true duals, regular exhaust setups and various types and with that based on other info this is what Ive come up with, and responses would be really appriciated. Thanks.

IMO the perfect setup front to back would be Hooker LTs, custom stock style Y-pipe (off road) using Flowmaster collector, two Dynomax bullets in the Y-pipe, then your choice of catbacks.

sweetTA, what kind of performance and sound did you get with that setup? im assuming the bullet is there to kill some of the raspiness from the borla?

Butt-o-meter says around 20/20, but I dont have any dyno numbers to back it up.

I picked up 1.3mph (1/8) in much much worse weather conditions than my previous runs. Only changes were the LT's and ORY

Bullet is for rasp reasons only, you are correct <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
