Which exhaust system sounds best? I know this is a subjective question, and I'm bound to get a bunch of different opinions, but I want to know which exhaust system has the deepest throat sound? Our car has had a Corsa, true duals and now a Borla. Is GMMG the route to go?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Even better: duals taken out the back. Same great sound, less drone and interior resonance. Under the axle is cheap (that's what I'm planning on).
it's opinionated because people like different things...a 50 yr. old lady is not going to like what a 20 yr. guy is going to...

Stock manifolds and cats? Don't care about performance so much either? Flowmaster all the way...IMO, the BEST sounding catback for a stock catted car.
Headers with cats? Prolly GMMG or true duals...
Headers w/out cats? True duals all the way.

with LT's dont get the slp loudmouth... very loud even with the 12'' bullet... i think im gonna replace the bullet with the hooker aero chamber after i do the cam install.... unless it sounds really good after the cam swap 
I got pulled over yesterday because the cop said i was "drag racing"
i didnt even have it 65% mashed... its just loud... plus the cop was a dumb **** anyways.....
any ways... im still pissed.... dont to the loudmouth if you gonna do LT's.
Just my .02$

Any catted true duals that go all the way out the back is going to be the deepest. As for a catback I would haft to say any LT's,catted Ypipe and a B&B. B&B isn't spoken about on here much but I would haft to say their about the 1st or 2nd best catback ever made. A friend of mine has the Lt's and the B&B and I'd haft to say its the nicest exhaust I've ever heard. Its deffently not the loudest but its really deap. Also like JRP stated about to go to ls1sounds.com, he made a good point but alot of the sound clips there just don't do their justice and they don't sound anything close to whats its like in real life. Also don't take other peoples word for what sounds the best. Everyone has their opinion of what sounds good and what doesn't.

i got qtp long tubes with catted y and gmmg, cant say enough about it, it really does sound amazing, quiet down low, but real mean when you hit about 3500-4000 rpm. really love my purchase, so worth the 2K+ it ended up being total. hehe

I'd put a hooker cat back up against any other any day of the week as far as power gains, and sound. It is bar none the best out there as far as a cat back. I've had/heard in person the GMMG, Corsa, Borla, Magnaflow, LM and the Hooker is unmatched and it's in most cases under $300. The tips leave a bit to be desired but... We dynoed a car with the Hooker then took the muffler off dyno'd again and no change in power. I have a Hooker on my car, ran it at the track took the hooker off and virtually no change in power. Do a search for the Hooker Aerochamber and see what you come up with.
