Default Which would sound better?

Its going on a 06 Crewcab chevy with the 5.3.

Choice 1:
No cats, 2.5" true-duals, Magnsflow X-pipe and borla XR1 mufflers and turndowns?

Choice 2:
No cats, Corsa sport catback and turndowns?


Eventually i will have a nice set of long tubes on the system but it will be a little while before ill get around to getting them. Let me know what yall think. I want it loud and mean but the less drone the better. Thanks in advance!

Default Borla and Corsa are loud

Ive heard from many ppl that borla and corsa are loud. I dont know if id dump them. Maybe go right over the axle and turn them both out or down towards the outside of the truck. This would eliminate a lot of the drone and gas fumes youll smell when you stop. I just like to get the fumes out from under the truck bc theyre corrosive and will rust the surrounding metal after a while.

I probably just go with the corsa and just spend the little more and get the O/R Y-pipe and complete catback. Ill have to get the long tubes later. Although, i wont have a payment on my truck until march so for the next 3 months, ill have extra mod money.

I dont normally like the looks of tips on a truck but the corsa tips look pretty SICK!! I may just do long tubes, O/R Y-pipe and corsa out the side with the corsa tip. That will elimintate all drone because it wont echo off the ground and it will still be nice and loud. Hell, if i dont like the tip after awhile, ill cut it off and dump it. I could always sell the tip again later.

Could you run a true dual X-pipe setup with corsa or is it for a y-pipe setup only?

Yea i figured that...

I also heard the SLP resonator sounds extremely good on our trucks but i have never heard one. Might as well go with the Corsa and stick with it. Its the best exhaust you can buy so you cant go wrong.
