Which lower downpipe

[KelvinllMelvin]

As I’m slowly building my Z my next step on the list are downpipes. I originally was going for b6a resonated lower downpipes but I see spool performance has theirs on sale $200 for the 3 inch race ldp. I’ll be saving about $225. Don’t know if it’s worth getting the non resonated to save more than $200. I’m aware it’ll be louder and raspier but no idea if it sounds “worse” than the resonated ones. Wanted input on someone who has either ldp.
Note: will be paired with awe track catback but I do have the conversion kit. Ams cold air intake coming in.

I originally paired Spool 3" resonated LDPs with my AWE Touring. I found it too loud with poor fitment so swapped them for B6A 3" resonated LDPs which were better in both regards. With everything being 3.0" diameter, fitment needs to be spot-on; even with the B6A I still had to chase down a few AWE fitment rattles. Doing it all over again, I'd probably go with a 2.5" setup (MoPowa resonated LDPs).

I tried giving Spool the benefit of the doubt since they were local to me at the time in Houston, but their customer support was terrible (check out their reviews on Google Maps). I got what I paid for and it cost me in the end.

I had both sets ceramic coated in Cerakote Titanium. Note the resonator size, welds, & bends.

Here's a before and after sound clip of the non-resonated Boosted 6 lower downpipes, if it helps.
