Default Which exhaust system???

Ok I totally messed up my flowmaster catback plus the quality sucks so I need to get a new catback. I've listened to billions of clips and searched thru the entire "Best Sounding Catback" thread also a billion times but I cant make up my mind I am going to put cats on so my set-up its Pacesetter LT's and catted y-pipe. I want a really mean, deep, yet loud exhaust but not too raspy and I prefer stainless. Basically I want my car to sound as good as possible with LT, and cats. Price is sorta an issue but I may just have to suck that up. Any suggestions? Im looking mainly at Magnaflow, Borla, GMMG, Corsa. Is GMMG really as nice as everyone says? and whats the difference between GMMG and Borla?
I really appreciate the help!

My vote would go to The gmmg, If I had to do it then I would get the gmmg, My car came with a flowmaster so I am not going to spend $800 on a cat back when I can get a cutout and still have the flowmaster for the better then stock sound. My buddy has the corsa with long tubes on his car but he has a 95 with a 6.0 liter ls1 with a heads and cam and that car is just down right nasty. I would have to say the best exhaust I’ve ever heard. The note between shifts is just sexy. Imo I don’t like the borla as its the same price *** the gmmg but doesn’t sound as good. I say Get the Gmmg And run, although I personally Have never heard the Gmmg in person, I have yet to hear a bad thing about it.. Its up to you in the end though, your the one that has to hear it all the time.

Try and get the Slp 2otl i saw one for sale on here for 250 it sounds awesome. Just my 2 cents. I have a sound clip with stock exhaust and just a Lt4 Hot cam kit in ti it sounds great. I cant wait to hear it with my Kooks long tubes and no cats O and a huge cam.

If you plan on spending the money for the best, I would go with Kooks LT's and a Corsa Catback, I'm a big fan of the Corsa system. I don't see the sense in running Pacesetter LT's, which are a nice budget header, with a high-performance catback like Borla. Pacesetter's and GMMG would be a nice setup, I like the Hooker myself... but that's just because of the price, and the Hooker with LT's and ORY has very little drone and what not.

Wanting stainless and price being an issue is not a good combination. And like you said, it is very difficult to pick out which exhaust system you like. Depending on the parts already installed on the car the sound will be different from one car to the next. That being said, I really like the sound of the Hooker cat-back with headers. I've also recently heard the Pypes Pro V cat-back and it sounds very aggressive and deep too.

Well I already have the Pacesetter LT's and ORY installed. Im just going to have cats installed. I do not want to get Hooker since it isn't stainless but I do like the sound. I think I should just suck up the price and go with the GMMG because of the quality, construction, and sound. I'm hearing that the Corsa sucks/rocks from different people so that is ruled out.
