I'm torn between cat-backs From anyone who has actually owned either of these, which would you say? Magnaflow vs flowmaster? Now everyone relax, not even thinking of putting flowmaster on my car but i have had the experience of having one before 
None with magnaflow. So is magnaflow a step up over flowmaster, or should i be looking else where? I'm on a budget and looking for a good cat-back to go with my LT's & catted Y. If money wasn't an issue i'd go back to the Borla exhaust.

Just dump them dude. It's a camaro! I used to be all picky about having a nice exhaust when I had my Borla, but honestly true duals is the only way to go.
You can certainly run them out the back but you're going to have to spend some time / coin to do it. You will need to relocate your stock panhard rod, or get a high clearance one. BMR makes it I think.
I use Borla Pro XS Mufflers. I researched for weeks before I bought mufflers and they are the best balance of sound, and performance on the market I truly believe. The Borla XR-1s are nice, but louder with no real performance gain.

I love my Hooker Cat-back. Plus I like that I can unbolt my muffler and tailpipes at the 3 bolt flange it has in case I need to service my fuel pump. (Trap door mod would negate this.)
I'm betting given your location that you can't get away with true duals. IF you can, they will make the most power, and can be done the cheapest if you dump them.

But I love my tsp rumbler, and it's my favorite catback, except for GMMG

I have had a Flowmaster, SLP LM and a Borla. The Loud mouth was my favorite when the car was just bolt ons with the stock cat, sounded really good. I never had it with Long tubes but I imagine it would have been really loud. The Flowmaster sounded decent, I always wanted a Borla so thats why I have it. I have seen magnaflows on a V6 Fcar, seemed like a nice exhaust system.
