Axle back Muffler help
I am needing some help with choosing an axle back exhaust. I have a true dual exhaust with pacesetter long tube headers into a off road H-pipe with no catalytic converters. I had straight pipe exhaust tip and my v6 sounded amazing. However my HOA believed it was "obnoxiously loud". So I replaced them with stock gt mufflers and now I sound like a rice burner. I looking at new axle backs mufflers for a deep sounding exhaust. So should I get chambered axle backs like MACs or Borlas or would it sound the same like I have it now?

Macs are LOUD! and they do drone around 2100 rpms and up, I love them at idle, cruising around town, and when getting on it, but highway traveling the drone can be annoying, also I still have my cats, so I can only assume that they will be much louder and more raspier with your set up.

I had gt take offs before the Macs, it's night and day!!! Macs are much louder and deeper than gt take offs, The muffler design and the 4" tips make it deep and loud.

I was thinking about some new mufflers recently too, the GT takeoffs are a bit too quiet for me now. But I'd rather not have the MACs, is there anything that fills the gap? Maybe something at the halfway point in terms of loudness and drone?
Borlas seem a bit pricey, but if that's the only option...
