Question AXLE-BACK FOR 2011 GT

Hello all,
I need to take a decision by Wednesday, please help among...

1-Flowmaster American-Thunbder AXLE BACK (300USD) for 2011 GT
2-Borla Mustang V8 Touring Exhaust (650USD)
3-Borla Mustang V8 S-type Exhaust (720USD)

I have heard audio-clips of them all, I like them all, but:
I will be driving in NYC local and highway driving, I want it to be different than stock, BUT I don't want to be TOO LOUD and I definitely DO NOT WANT any drone inside the vehicle on highway driving.

PLEASE ADVISE what would you use, and if you have actually heard the FLOWMASTER AMERICAN-THUNDER which I consider a better option for the price.
Also, have you heard the Borla Touring personally? does it sound good, is it loud enough? how about the S-Type? is it TOO loud, is it comparable with the American-Thunder? louder, quieter?

Thank you everyone,
LCL

Before you decide on one of these, you owe it to yourself to listen to the Steeda Axle-Back (made by Borla). You can hear a clip on www.brenspeed.com. Deep, throaty, just loud enough. I've heard it on Dario's car (he owns Steeda) and I think it's the best sounding axle-back out there. THat's why Brenspeed includes it in their Stage 2 power pack.

you may want to listen to some corsas. No drone and sound awesome, since your gonna spend that kinda cash anyways.

I just put on a set of Flowmaster's Hushpower. I only went around the block but they sound realy good. A deep tone, and not too loud but when you get on the gas a bit, it's plenty loud for me. On ebay at $434 shipping included.

I own and am currently driving around with the Touring system and I love it. It has low end rumble while you drive around, and when you hit the gas it definitely lets out a great growl that will wake everybody around you up, but the good part is that if you're just gentle with it, its not insanely noticeable.

As for drone, once you get up to highway cruise speed I haven't found any problem. There's an awkward area between 55-60 where there's some drone but since most highways you won't be going that speed, I personally love them. Quiet on the highway, rumble but subdued on the street, and mean when you want them to be.

Sounds like your going through what I just went through. I'm 43 and just got my Mustang 9 days ago after waiting 10 weeks. While waiting I just tried not to think about it, but my family and friends kept asking me,"Did your Mustang come in yet?" lol
You will love it. I'm going to be changing out my exhaust too. The stock is just too quiet
