Unhappy Loud and Aggressive Exhaust!

It's been on my mind all day about choosing an exhaust for my LT-1. Sound is not a problem for me but I do want an aggressive,mean and loud muscle car sound. I'm saving up on doing Pacesetter LT headers as well. I thought of doing a LT with a ORY and call it day but I've heard SLP LM II is even better but I really don't know which route to choose. I've been doing a lot of research on it all day. I'm a college student on a budget. Please share with me your thoughts and opinions and yes my '96 Trans Am is my daily.

Thank You

Screw long tubes, screw the loud mouth... get ******* zoomies! You will so loud, so cool, and so slow!

Asking a question like this really makes no sense, What one might think sounds good to them may sound like crap to another, Its the same type of question, what color should I paint my car, Best is to see if there are sound clips of the type of exhaust you want and you pick what you like...

Borla here too. I put a qtp in place of the disc on the passenger side exhaust tip. Close that baby up in the morning and the car is nice and quiet even with the cam.

95 formula lt1:

This was filmed with a potato a few years ago. May not be of any value to help you decide. Pretty crappy quality.

Edit: i dunno how to embed that. Hopefully somebody else can.

I just want it to be loud and Aggressive. Not loud and not having any taste or flavor to the sound what I meant.

It's seriously all up to you. Everyone has different tastes, especially when it comes to age. When I was 18 all I wanted was loud. Now at 24, I'm tired of it and just want some nice tone.

Exactly what I did too, now that I'm turning 25 I just want it mellow for daily use and loud for track/weekends etc. Borla is win for sure.

Exactly, if it's something I drive often, loud just gets annoying quick. If I haven't driven my car for awhile, it's okay for a little bit then it's back to annoying.

The best combo is either a Magnaflow or a Borla and have a cutout for when you want it loud.
