Default Best cat-back with stock manifolds?

I'm stuck on what to do, I've searched A LOT and was set on a TSP rumbler, but now I don't know. Most good things ive heard about the TSP rumbler was with LT's and an ORY. But what should I run on stock manifolds and cats, I have no plans for LT's or ORY in the near future? Loud is good, deep is good, I just wanna hear what you guys think before I get the TSP rumbler.

The hookers not loud at idle its pretty loud when ya get on it but with stock manifolds and cats it will be alot quieter than LT's and ORY!

IMO, the best sounding catback on stock manifolds/cats would be the loudmouth. Sounds like poo once you put longtubes/ory on, but if you don't plan on those mods it'll sound great!

I would definitely get the loudmouth if I didnt have headers etc.. So if you have no plans at all of doing anything else to your exhaust I would get the loudmouth. The hooker is very quiet with stock manifolds and cats and I hated it. If you want loud dont get the hooker system.

i like my dual/dual. very different tone for an f-body, almost mustang-like. it's not very loud when cruising, but it's quite loud at WOT. i'd say the dual/dual w/a cutout is a great combo for stock manifolds. it's the best of both worlds - it's tame and quiet w/cutout closed at crusing for conversations, then when you want to be obnoxiously loud, cutout!

Is the LM raspy and poppy on the stock exhaust? I'm sure it is just curious, I may go with what choco said and get a mild cat back with a cut out.

Nope, I have had a few pops but very rare. Definitley the LM1 is the best sounding for stock manifolds/cats

Yeah it is, I think I have narrowed it down, either the LM or TSP rumbler.

SLP is sounding more good to me, the more you guys recomend it. Wheres the best place to purchase one? So far I've seen one go for $399 is there any place that sells them cheaper? I'm a broke kid.
Thanks

GMMG or Borla! I am not much of a fan of LM. Its ok on stock man. and cats.. But with LT's is really loud and raspey.. But since you have no plans for LT's you might like it. .

I have never seen a person on here who actually had that catback.

Tell a little more about it: Is it on the loud side? Quiet side? Low and deep or high and exotic sounding etc....please.

+1 for loudmouth. It sounded perfect until I got LTs

If you have the money though, and plan to do LTs in the future, Id say go with GMMG. The chambered exhaust sounds wicked.
