Default which sounds better

So I have been running Kooks LT's and Off road ypie into a borla exhaust for a few years now decided to take the borla muffler section off just to see what it sounded like, what do yall guys think sound better?

Here's some pics of what I took off so you get the idea





This is how it looks without the exhaust is off



Here's the video with the borla exhaust.. skip to 2mins 25 seconds

Sorry took this with my phone, couldnt find my darn battery charger on my camera.

hard to tell b/c the videos are from dif devices.. I'd post a sound clip of mine if I could for you, you could try it out for the cost of a turn down since you've already got the e-cutout. sounds bad F'n ***

^ignore those booger welds I'll take it off and fix it one of these days.

and if your gonna put the borla back on polish it up before hand> http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...r-exhaust.html

Just wondering, you are putting down some nice power to the wheels on motor. May I ask what you have done to your motor?

I ran my car without a rear section of exhaust for a while, and while it sounded good (to me) the drone in the car was nuts. Im much happier since I put my GMMG on and ran it through the back of the car.
