Default Exhaust decision

Hey guys,
I'm putting a new exhaust on soon. 2000 firebird formy which is stock right now. I already have custom stainless headers on order and ory, but i cant decide on an exhaust. Since this is the most popular setup without cats, afaik, Any ideas of what works best?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Not a fan of duals on Fbodies but if it pick a stock style "cat back" I run a Corsa and I love it. Great sound, stainless construction and has a tame sound when cruising. W/O cats it will be loud but again, should be enjoyable.

OR you can do something like a Magnaflow and put in a exhuast cut out and elec opener.

Duals in my opinion can't be beat.. But for the money you might want to check out the edelbrock system.. I used to have it and the sound was great

Here are some videos of my buddy Dave's 98 Z28 and my brother's 02 35th Anniversary SS. Both cars have Jet Hot LT's. Dave's car has a Jet Hot ORY and Magnaflow Catback. Tristan's car has a Pacesetter ORY matched to the factory installed SLP Dual Dual Catback. Both cars sound great, but the Magnaflow is definitely more agressive sounding than the SLP. Check 'em out.

i just bought a hooker cb. for my pewter car, but have not installed it yet, I'll get it on there tomorrow eve, and I'll let you know my thoughts on it. from everything I've read, people like it, the down side is, it is not stainless which sucks, but I guess that's why there so cheap.
