Default Less common/less expensive mild exhausts?

I'm interested in a couple less common/somewhat less expensive mild exhausts. I'm looking for info mainly on the Callaway DD and the SLP PowerFlo(round tips).

Anyone with either of these...especially the Callaway as there next to no info on it?

My car's an A6 with mild cam, headers, hi-flo cats and x-pipe with the stock muffs right now. I'd like it a bit louder with better tone...and yep, you guessed it...as little drone as possible.

An npp retrofit with a m2w switch is also an option but I'd really like to have nicer and/or more unique tips. I know the npp tips look stealth and all but it's not like I'm gonna fool anyone as even with the oe mufflers any potential victims will notice the cam.

Thanks for any opinions/advice.

-Ken

Thanks Ron,

I've looked into them and I fear they would have a good bit of drone/resonance. The previous owner of my car did all the mods(headers,cam,etc) and he originally had a B&B Rt66 on the car. It sounded good but at freeway speeds he said it droned/resonated pretty bad so eventually he put the stock muffs back on. As I understand it the bi-mode Fusion, even closed, is louder than the Rt66.

I kinda like trying brands that aren't so mainstream like the corsa,b&b, borla,etc are.

That's another reason why I'm looking at some of the "off" brands like SLP, Callaway,etc. Problem is when you use unique brands...it's hard to find first hand user info on them.

Anyone use the GHL designed specifically for the A6/paddle shift, if so, hows the drone/resonance on it?

How about Zoomers?

Thanks,
Ken
