Default True Duals worth it over catback?

well just recently had cam installed and my exhaust was the Borlamouth. Well that setup had too much drone so i had the hooker catback installed. Well that def. fixed the drone/rasp but was considerably quieter. So i install a cutout which sounds bad *** when open. Well since the hooker catback im having some issues with pipes vibrating or something...cant quiet figure it out. Comment on this if you guys think this makes sense. Happens at 3000rpms and cruising at 1000rpms. Dont know if locking of the converter has anything to do with this but anyways back to the question. Would True Duals be worth it to do? I want the no drone/rasp and no clearance problems. This cutout sure makes some issues with clearance. Just want some opinions guys. Sorry for the lengthy post, but figured i needed to describe what the deal is. TIA

If you want the true duals I highly recommend a custom job for best fitment. While some places will offer you a true dual setup with out fitting to your car that won't give you as good of a clearance as a custom setup. Look at some of the pic's that are posted of the custom true duals.

Not if you put poly motor mounts in. Factory mounts are crap.
There's places on the driver's side of my duals that are barely 1/4" away from the body and I get no banging at all.
