Default Which loudest, Stingers, Flowmaster, or Roush exhaust?

I'm deciding what exhaust to get, and wondering which is the loudest of the 3?

Roush
Ford Racing Stingers
Flowmaster American Thunder

I've read that all 3 have some (minimal) drone, and have a nice deep tone.

I am concerned that the drone would be too much, and that it would be too "raspy/frappy". Maybe someone can enlighten me, what is the sound like on the boomtubes? Deep, raspy, what?

not raspy at all
it has a deep tone, rather quiet on idle, but real loud at WOT w/ a clean tone from the louvered core much like a resonator. it is not quite as loud as LM's but it is loud.
heres a vid w/ BT's, LT's, o/r x pipe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6YB9vv63dE
i will borrow this quote from a website

[quote]
Aggressive, unrestrictive, lightweight, affordable, and just plain bad to the bone. These are a few of the words that accurately describe our Boom Tube Race axle-backs. These stainless steel beauties will really make your Mustang sound good. Unlike other muffler delete axle-back kits, the Boom Tubes are not empty tips that hang out the back. The Boom Tubes feature a louvered core inside the tips that works like a race muffler. This louvered core goes a long way toward eliminating the raw, unrefined sound that other muffler delete axle-backs produce. What you get is a loud, very deep, but controlled exhaust note that makes the Mustang sound like it's packing a big block engine. The sound from inside the car is pure muscle-car but with a surprisingly low amount of resonance between 1500-2000 rpm. Weighing in at 15 pounds this kit is a full 16 lbs lighter than the stock mufflers which means you not only get maximum power, you eliminate some dead weight that was just slowing you down. The Boom Tube Race axle-back kit is perfect for racing applications and for gear heads looking for an aggressive and unique product for their street Mustang.

Roush would be the loudest of the 3.flows arent much louder than stock...borlas are much better, roush (off road)is slightly louder than borlas ( less packing ). some will say theres no difference between borla and roush...butI have borlas, and ive heard roush in person and roush has a little bit of anedge! the only downside with roush is the price ( $685 ) but if youre looking for the best tone and volume for an otherwise stock exhaust..roush would win!

Theyre right flows arent much louder than stock. However they sound much better than stock. Great Idle and a nice rumble. Really good sound IMO
