Default Whats a better exhaust?

What would everyone recommend. Between like a borla or magnaflow or loudmouth? Im looking to get something that is a nice sound that would echo and let people know your comming but not to loud to just be driving and getting annoyed by it inside the car after time. Also if it would make any difference which would mabye add some hp if any? Thanks

If you're willing to crash the bucks for a Borla, just skip all of those and go with a GMMG Chambered Exhaust. Sounds better than all of those, has a nice deep tone, and won't bother you inside the car. $700 shipped.

I liked the sound of them so much, I just bought one myself.

I love my GMMG.

Also, I see you're new fccs. Welcome to the site. In the "External Engine" forum, there is a ton of exhaust threads. Everyones opinions on catbacks/true duals and some sound clips can be found along with clips at http://www.ls1sounds.com Nose around External Engine here on LS1tech for some really good info on exhausts. Notice I said "some", cause most people are like me and biased for the exhaust system they own and have on their cars and will tell you up and down that it's the best hands down. Except mine really is. Good luck.

Magnaflow is the most refined system. If you like to walk softly but carry a big stick, this exhaust is for you.

I like my loudmouth b/c they all do the same thing... increase exhaust flow and the LM was cheaper which meant... i could buy a CAI too at the same time.
