Default Exhaust HELP

Hey, I will soon be getting a 98-99 trans am or camaro...I immediately want to do the exhaust because I love loud cars...I don't know what to do...Is the TSP rumbler louder than the SLP LM, and is it less raspy? Also, is it louder if the exhaust is dumped after the axle instead of going all the way out? If dumped is better, what do I need to purchase in order to do that instead of wasting money on the TSP setup and not using the pipes that go out the back? what do you guys recommend for the deepest/loudest tone without rasp? dynomax bullet, magnaflow, borla xr1, or any other ones? Please help me...

Also, what do you guys think of this package? http://www.lmperformance.com/2909/1.html
Is it worth it?



P.S. I do not want to go true duals or anything because I want to keep it under 500 and still pass emissions...I also don't have the money for headers yet, so i am probably sticking with the stock y-pipe for now...

Thanks

Here's my Rumbler catback with a Magnaflow bullet replacing the Dynomax.

that sounds mean as hell...as you can see in my sig, my old z28 had the LM, i liked it, but i did notice the rasp...urs has no rasp and sounds good...how much did u get ur magnaflow bullet for? and what size is it? The ones i found on summit were $63.95...
Also, is there a reason you replaced the dynomax with that?

Dynomax for sure!!!! Loud, mean, no rasp. Get LOTS of compliments!

P.S. NEVER go by sound clips, they are wayyyyyyy too inaccurate, especially not my sounds clip.

Just felt like trying something different, not many guys with the "magnamouth" catback around. People will tell you "it's a bullet, they all sound the same". Trust me, it sounds much different than the Dynomax bullet in person. The Dynomax has fiberglass sound deadener while the Magnaflow bullet has only stainless steel wool. It sounds a lot deeper, and probably more smooth I guess is a good way to put it. Not that it sounded bad before, but I like it a lot more with the Magnaflow bullet. I think it cost like 60 bucks on ebay. I'll pm you the seller I got it from if need be, but you'll probably see him as the main seller of them. Here are a couple of pics of it before I had it welded in:

TSP rumbler kit and swap with a sweet thunder? Would that be any louder than the regular dynomax?

Some sweet thunders sound good...I have listened to the sound clips of thee dynomax, and it doesn't seem loud enough for me...I want it loud, but i don't want SLP, had that on my first camaro, loved it at first, but then the drone got to me, and I couldn't hear on the phone or my radio...I am gonna listen to the magnamouth kit you have again and see, I might go with that...

They are the optional Ractive smoked stainless tips you can get with the Rumbler. They look a lot better clean and shined up; I've never done that though.
