VIBRANT VS FLOWMASTER VS BORLA

Just got an 07 MINI S. Potentially doing a full turbo back later but for now looking to just the muffler. Need some serious opinions on VIRBRANT FLOWMASTER 60 and BORLA. Would like to order this weekend. I DO NOT WISH TO SOUND LIKE A CIVIC. Looking for something "throaty".

Opinion on VIBRANT BORLA FLOWMASTER
THANKS!

-Mike-

Link to Vibrant for MINI. I had a Vibrant catback on my Spec V and by far it was the best sounding for it.

I had a Vibrant on my Integra a couple years back. It was good quality from what I remember and the sound was nice as well. You can buy my brand new A-spec if you're interested, I was planning on using it for a custom turbo back for my R56...PM me!
