TurboXS Borla or Magnaflow exhaust?

Ive been doing research and seems like turboxs is the most inexpensive exhaust out of all of them and i just wanted to get opinions on how the feel about turboXS exhaust.

turboxs is on the loud side if you don't have a turbo (assuming you use the catless midpipe).

The borla has the nicest sound for NA with cat though.

see the video link in my sig - I've owned a few different exhausts and have made videos of them.

i dont think it's that loud. :P

the only bad spot is around 3k rpm. the resonance is pretty unbearable, especially up a hill. but keep it below 2.7k rpm or above 3.3k rpm and you're good to go.
