Really it's personal preference, really depends what kind of sound and look your after.

I've had GMMG on both my Bird's and wouldn't recommend anything but that.

But with a price tag just short of 1G, many people prefer something else.

Thats an extremely subjective question and you will get endless different answers but if on a budget $300-$400 for a stainless steel Magnaflow Catback is IMO the best way to go, sounds amazing. If you got the dough I would go with GMMG. Had both, loved both, Magnaflow was the better deal though because half as much $$ and sounded better in some aspects and worse in others but overall I liked the GMMG sound wise just a little more.

yeah its really a personal opinion. If you were on a budget and wanted a nice exhaust i would go with magnaflow. But personally i think i would buy a universal x pipe and some flowmaster single chambered mufflers and dump them at the axle if my car didnt already have and exhaust on it when i bought it.

Borla adjustable if you had the extra $ or you could find one used. Check the parts classifieds someone had one for sale I think $400. IMO it sounds awsome and you can adjust the exhaust (sound and flow). The muffler is a straight through muffler not a cross flow. The passanger side pipe flows straight through (no muffler) and the driver side flows through the muffler.

because it makes the car sound like a tractor IMO it pops, and is to loud. I would ditch the flowmaster idea also. I would recommend magnaflow, hooker, or find someone selling a used borla.

It was way too raspy and had no real tone to it. Just beligerant noise. After I took it off to install the Corsa I started it up with no cat back on and it sounded exactly the same, just made noise further forward on the car.
I had Flowmaster before that and i'll agree with the other statements that it's junk.
If your on a budjet I would suggest Magnaflow, most seem to like it and I believe it is stainless steel also. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong.

I had a flowmaster on my car with no cat and i think it sounded pretty good. It was just VERY drony in the car . It wasnt much better than my dumped dual setup i have now. THe main thing with the flowmaster muffler is that it doesnt flow much better than stock.
