Default Axle Back Swap...FRPP / GT500

Well I have the chance to get a great deal on a set of FRPP Sport Mufflers for my car...$350 for the set.

But I kinda already like my exhaust (GT500 AB)! So I am torn on what to do.
What do you think sounds better?

Here are the two setups:

If I get them I can sell my current GT500 AB (I think Larry has them on his mod to-do list)

I have my resonators cut out and Im running an after cat JBA H-Pipe.
Here's what it sounds like now:

I say keep what you have. I don't think it's worth it to go to the FRPP ones. Especially since I can't stand the rolled tips of the FRPP.

Use a tailors tape measure and wrap it around the pipe...then divide that measurement by Pi. (3.14) That will give you your pipe size.

The JBA Pipe is 3" and the stock one has multiple areas that restricts flow down to 2.25" plus the center connecting pipe is an accordion style which disrupts flow. When I installed it the exhaust note got deeper....removing the resonators made it louder.
