Default ;True Dual Question (Dynomax or Borla XS1)?

Well a local shop has quoted me a great price on a true dual system but I am faced with some options.
Basically I am trying to get your opinions on this and see if anyone has these on there car. How do they sound?
It is an X-pipe but they are going 3' down the passenger side to help clearance issues.
Now what muffler or glasspack to use:
1) Dynomax bullet mufflers which are pretty much glass packs
or
2) Borla XS1 mufflers which are real mufflers and will have a slightly quieter idle but they are much more expensive
(difference in price on the system will be another 120 dollars)
Is it worth it...... Thanks

If you could find a way to fit the XR-1's I'd use them. Good luck on the ground clearance though.

Why would ground clearance be an issue with the XR1's? I am using the XS1 because they are a bit cheaper than the XR1's which are a rip off in my opinion. Anyone else have any opinions??

Another consideration might be mac flowpaths they make a universal muffler that retails for 69.50 they advertise it is quieter than dynomax and flowmaster,but not by much. I compared the dimensions to the borla mufflers the mac flowpaths are smaller than the borla xs series.
The mac dimensions are: 9"wide x3&3/4"thick x13" long. If you would like to check them out the website is: www.macperformance.com
be sure to go to the ford then mustang section, I've never heard how they sound but I've talked to a couple mustang guys that love them.
I'm definately using mac flowpaths when I am ready to install true duals.
