TD's or CAT-BACK?
TD's or CAT-BACK? Currently have pacesetter y and flowmaster cat back.
Looking to do either the TD or cat back
choice 1: TSP TD's with moroso spiral flows
or
choice 2: TSP Y-pipe into a QTP electric cut out with a hooker cat-back.
I plan on cammin it soon and i dont want it to be to loud. thats why im leaning towards the cat-back and electric cut out.
So whats your opinion?

I voted TD's.. but I'm a nut case. I have nothing but flowmaster 1 chambers clamped to the headers with no X or H so its insanely loud and sounds sick.. lol. If you want it quieter get a catted Y and cat back. I'm not a fan of the ORY Y pipes with headers.

I feel ya...I voted for the TD's...I have had both, and the TD's are better IMO...Only downside being, is that you lose some ground clearance...
The Duals are somewhat quiet during idle...And if you see a cop throw that bitch in neutral, or cruise it in 5th...Haha..
I agree with the whole Y pipe...Plus if you have a cut-out and if its not electric, you have to reach under there and take off the cap...Just a PITA...Plus the cut-out changes the exhaust tone even when the cap is closed...At least it did on mine with QTP's there off road Y and Hooker cat-back...Go with the duals and you won't be dissapointed...
QTP has a flowmaster merger on their Y's...

A friend of mine had Pacesetters, ORY, and Flowmaster catback. He likes it louder than I can tolerate, but when he went to TD's (out the back), he couldn't take it. One day he called me and said it was giving him a brutal headache. Next thing you know, he had the Flowmaster back on and has been happy since.

That is why I'll probably go with a Catted Kooks Y or get a custom Y with a flowmaster Merge for my car when I get tired of my current setup. I have a Kooks ORY that I was running with a a few different exhaust setups but my god it sounded like crap no matter what I did. I even put the stock exhaust back on for a day and that was the only way it sounded decent but it was also dead quiet too. So I just said forget it and put a 16" ext on each header and clamped the 1 chambers on each one. I'm thinking also of trying some long PowerSticks on there instead though to quiet it down a bit. we'll see.

True duals don't HAVE to be loud as hell. You can get away with a quieter muffler without losing much (if any) power, since the exhaust gasses will be split in half going through two mufflers. I went from loud (duals with sweet thunders, duals with spiral flows, etc etc) to quiet (duals with Flowtech Raptors) and I didn't notice any power loss going to these quiet mufflers
Duals for sure...if you've never had them before I suggest you give them a whirl. If your not crazy about having a super loud exhaust you could always swap out the spirals for a slightly quieter muffler too.
TD's are Fn loud as it is add a cam and its crazy! I personally love the sound, but guys i know that have a TD set up are always saying how much they wished they had a set up like mine.. (catback, e-cutout) It just got old for them after a while. just my opinion, i have nothing against TD's i think they're awesome, but based on what youre saying about not wanting to be too loud i think that the catback/cutout would fit you better.
