trying to decide which muffler

so im pretty sure im ditching the catback/cutout. you just cant get a good sound out of one except for the mufflex. and i dont want to pay $600 for it. so im going to run 3" true duals w/ an x-pipe. im down to 3 muffler choices.
either magnaflow 4" round pn 14419, powerstick chambered(medium), or borla xr1 round case. they will be turned down at the axle. i can get it all made for $100. all i have to do is buy the mufflers. so which do you guys think will sound better between the 3?

Moroso spiralflows. But I'd go with Borla's if those are the only choices.

I was going to say the Magnaflow heh I had a 3" on my TPI car for awhile and it was nice. Bit loud and after a few months had to ditch it.

LT1noob, the Tinny sound is what's appealing about the Flowies

Too much though IS, well too much IMO.

i love my powersticks...sounds badass. Deep and ferocious. XR1 is a great muffler but the only problem is 1 xr1 costs more than 2 powersticks

I was looking at those 3 and went with the powersticks. At idle the xr-1's sound sick but I didnt like them at WOT. The Magnaflows sound good but are too quiet for my taste.
