Default Magnaflo or Borla -- SRT ram air hood

I have an 05 Ram Hemi 5.7 Quadcab SB that I would like to put a Cat back exhaust on. I can't decide between Borla or Magnaflow though. I think either would be fine but my concern with the Magnaflow is if I have to remove the 20" spare tire. I think Magnaflow kit # 15863 is the correct kit but have herd that the spare has to be removed. Has anyone installed one of these kits that can confirm this.
Borla is what Mopar uses and I know that it will work with the big spare and towing package but they only have an out the side system and are about $200 more.
I appreicate any advice.
A side note FYI
I have installed an SRT ram air hood with air box from ramairhood.com and it is sweet. http://www.ramairhood.com/store/scri...p?idproduct=42
Acceleration was improved and MPG went up about 2mpg. (When I can keep my foot out of it.) It added a nice sound also.

iski11, Welcome to DF! I have the Borla on my truck and I think it sounds great. Magnaflow also makes a great system but, I'm not sure about the spare. BTW, You have a sweet looking truck![sm=icon_rock.gif]
