should I switch from MAGNAFLOW to TSP RUMBLE CATBACK?

I have a Magnaflow Catback system and a cutout installed too. I like the way it sounds and all but its just a thought at this point.
I really liked the way the TSP RUMBLE CATBACK sounded in that video clip I saw.

I know any gains or loses should be minimal.

So should I switch it out or just keep my Magnaflow?

The question is, do you want to spend over $200 (including shipping) for an aluminized exhaust system to replace your stainless one? Just run the cut out open.

My advice is to go to a true dual setup with Magnapacks! Just a suggestion though.

Yeah, why waste the money unless you can sell you Magnaflow.

He should be able to sell his magnaflow for enough to cover the cost of the TSP .
IMO the TSP sounds better . But the magnaflow is nothing I would be in a hurry to get rid off .

Everyone touts how good the tsp sounds. The only sound I heard of it is the clip of the ta on the dyno. And to me, it didn't sound much deeper or rumblier than the stock setup.

Oh, would you look at that. I had the suckers turned off.

It does sound better than stock, but to me it just didn't sound like I thought a straight through system should sound. I've listened to it a couple times and it didn't have enough for me. From the clips I've heard, I like the loudmouth over the rumbler. The loud mouth has a much meaner, musclecar sound to me.

Loudmouth is raspy . This one is deep . Have you ever heard a loudmouth in person ? They get very very loud !
