Question true dual glasspacks vs. borla xr-1

Hello I have a 5.4 triton f150 I was wondering with would sound better?

True dual magna flow glass packs 2.5" (2 mufflers). That go back and behind both rear tires with 4" tips...(side exit)

OR

A borla xr-1 3" muffler with a metal militia 5" tip that comes out before the rear passenger tire!?(side exit)

I'm choosing between these 2 setups... Witch one would be louder? Witch would sound better? Witch would have less resistance/drone?

THANK YOU! Please comment and post your thoughts/opinions!

FORGOT TO MENTION: I want a loud aggressive deep tone that is heard well in the cab! (It is a extended cab)

Thumbs down

From everything I've read and heard any true dual set up is gonna be more agressive than a single in/out set up, for the most part. Of those two setups I would lean toward the true dual in this case as well for being more aggressive.

5000% borla I promise you will not regret. It is expensive for a reason. True duals are only louder under WOT. The single borla sets off car alarms. But isn't deafening in the cab. It's by far the deepest

Glasspacks have always been more of a muffler for older trucks. I don't think they sound as good on newer engines. Borla would be the best set up probably. Probably alot more expensive tho.
