Opinions on Exhaust for LGT.

I've finally decided to finish off the TBE on my Legacy GT. Which one to go with between these two? My 8's exhaust is as finished as it's gonna be.

First is the Stromung Dual Tip:

Second is AVO:

Right now I'm leaning towards the Stromung.

I think the dual tip looks a bit strange as it doesn't fit in the bumper cut outs. It could just be the angle though. I would take the dual tip over the giant cans still.

It is the angle...and that was a prototype. Stromung as since moved everything out an 1/8 of an inch.

Any reason why you ruled the Borla out?

AVO dual tips, look much cleaner and will fit the cutouts just right. The thickness of the AVO tips looks mean. How do the exhausts compare soundwise?

AVO, but then again you already made your choice, since you already have Stromung in your signature.

Stromung was my first choice...correct. I did put that into my signature as that's what I was 60% leaning towards. :D

Sound wise the Stromung will produce the boxer rumble a little bit more than the AVO at idle (going based upon what I've heard). The AVO will be a bit louder at WOT however.
