New Catback System

Hi Guys,
My current setup consists of OBX LT's c/w their resonators and 3" Y-pipe, 3" midpipe into a 3" si/ 2.25" do cherry bomb vortex muffler, and 3" x 12" stainless tips 45'd out the corners. I noticed that my muffler and tailpipes are rusted almost completely through, so its time to get a new system. I am looking for a kit that I can install, so I have narrowed it down to Roush, Borla, or an MBRP. I have driven a truck with a Roush Offroad and like it, but I prefer tips out the corners, the Borla is a bit pricey, so the MBRP is looking good as it is out the back or corners, and comes in at $422 for a 409ss kit. Currently my setup is quite loud, and I would like something a bit deeper which I am assuming all of these would be. Any suggestions or comments as to sound or volume of any of these setups is appreciated. Thanks.

Get a Borla ProXS, and have a shop cab 2.5" tails, cost the same as a cat back and last a good 5+ years even with aluminized products.

Hi,
I haven't phoned around yet but I am pretty sure SS is expensive at muffler shops here, and I really dont want aluminized again as that is what I have and it lasted 5 years exactly. Has anyone had experience with the MBRP stuff?

Some people have reported the T-409 stainless MBRP kit rusts badly, mostly just surface rust, but enough to cause dissatisfaction. I personally do not like the tone the MBRP exhaust system produces.

Roush off road has been known to be quiet, and make loud popping sounds when cold due to the 2.25" tailpipes and short 9" body muffler.
