I have Jethot LT's, ORY and Borla. Has an unique sound, I'm happy with it.

What kind of sound are you looking for? I have Hooker Aerochamber it sounds very old school muscle car with a very defined cam idle. Had Borla on another car and was not at all impressed with its performance all it basically consists of is a cutout in front of where the pipe goes in the muffler letting you adjust the amount dumped before it goes in. Good if your just looking for something making a lot of noise I guess about like a loudmouth setup they are junk.

ls1sounds.com is a pretty good source for deciding what exhaust setup you want.

But I can definately tell you that LT+ORY+LM1 is a loud, raspy, cop-magnet exhaust.

GMMG sounds great, I personally had TSP true duals with sweet thunders, sounded very deep and mellow

I had both the Hooker catback and the older style magnaflow (without the resonators in the tips). The hooker sounded real good without cats. The magnaflow had alot of rasp at 2500 rpm. I did not like the magnaflow.

Slp dual dual with cutout. Dual dual is pretty quiet until you get on it.
I have no cats either

Magnaflow was too quiet-DynoMax Super Turbo was better but still too quiet-Texas Rumbler was way too loud-Hooker was ok for a while but I like to here the exhaust rumble while cruising and at idle so I committed the cardinal sin & put the short 80 series Flowmaster on and let me tell all you chevy fan-boys , this IS the one . Now , finally my Z sounds like a big block V8 with NO drone .
Hell , feels just as fast to me .

my magnaflow sounds very good. but it is very quiet even with a cam. ive been thinking of going with GMMG instead.
