It's all a matter of personal choice: what you want to hear, what you think your neighbors will tolerate, what the local cops will tolerate, what your wallet will tolerate, etc..

I know the Boomtubes are popular. I haven't heard the Roush.

Agreed. It really comes down to which exhaust YOU like best. You'll find people who have one or the other of the two choices you're considering. Both parties will say they love them. It's a matter of what you love, what sounds best to you, etc.

The boomtubes are cheaper because the Roush name is not on them...

I heard that roush extreme setup on fnsweet and it sounded ok...but to me it sounds alot like the boomtubes for about twice as much $$$. anything with a roush logo is overpriced!
