Opinion on MUFFLERS

I was looking at a set of spintech. Are the good quality for the price and do they sound good on a mild modified car. I'm looking for that high pitch raspy sound let me know you guys opinion on this please. Oh and i have flowmaster 2 chamber on it now.

BTW, I used to have a video clip of the Pro-XS on my old 302, but I can't find it. I originally posted it in the following thread, but it not up on the DSP server anymore. Maybe someone on here has it saved on their computer and can re-post it?

EDIT: I found the video on my computer at work and I uploaded it to the server. Keep in mind that the video in the following thread has no tailpipes, whereas the ones below do.

You can kind of hear them in this YouTube video, but you have to tune out Joseph's Cobra.... the Borlas are the real high-pitched, racey sounding exhaust.

PWT vs. '03 Cobra

On a side note, I'm not as impressed with the 3" Borla Pro-XS exhaust on my 418. I like the sound, but it's not as high-pitched as the 2.5" with the 302.
However, I'm not sure if it has more to do with the diameter of the exhaust or the size of the motor... or likely a combination of both.

Here's a video of the 418:

yes I do have spintech on mine, they are the race spintech (black). I had bullets on my car and i was trying to quiet the car down, well, i dont think it did much, but there is a diff in sound at High rpms.. After atlanta I'll probably go back to my bullets. Besides the race bullets, the spintechs are the best sounding muffler followed by the old style flowmasters..

The 302 setup was definitely the best sounding Mustang I've ever heard.
