Default best sounding bullet?

I'm running a moroso spiral flow off my 3" ory with a flowmaster dump. The moroso suddenly started coming apart inside just over the last few days, its getting worse fast. I love the way it sounds and will probubly just get another one. Have any of you guys run anything comparable? I like the sound, its just a little loud, i may run an x and two spiral flows.

I ran a Borla XR-1 dumped for awhile with BBK shorties and a 2.5" ORY. It sounded mean. Really deep tone, and very little rasp. If I was going to do 3" dumped again, this would be it.

I wanted a different sound after that so I went with a Classic Chambered Powerstick. It was too loud for DD'ing, but it sounded really good. I think the powerstick would provide a similar sound to the Moroso, but it wouldn't fall apart inside since they don't use any packing, just chambers in the pipe, still straight through though just like any other bullet.

the spiral flow is actually a tube with a spiral of metal around it, so there is no packing in it either, witch makes it really hard to understand how it came apart on me.

I'm not crazy about the crackle those have, I'm not running out the back either, and will only have one bullet. I'm running the moroso directly off the ory with a turndown

I've had all the mentioned exhaust setups in this thread. Dynomouth, Spiral flow, Powersticks, etc. The best setup by far was on my IROC. I had Hooker LT headers, custom 3" y-pipe, Dynatech powercat, Powerstick chambered muffler in the I-pipe, then the SLP axleback with 2 tips. Talk about loud. I loved it and so did my 430whp 383. Over time I turned the car into a sleeper and installed a Magnaflow system and fell in love with it, hence putting it on my LT1 after selling the Borla.

If I was going to do the bullets again, I would def run duals on my car with 2 Powersticks! Wish I had a vid of the IROC though for you guys.

well thanks for all the input guys. One last question, do you think a dynomax bullet or moroso spiral flow would sound better off my 3" ory? All i have money to do right now is put another bullet on.
