Default Exhaust opinion?

Hi all. I've recently bought a used/stock WS6. I want to upgrade the stock exhaust to something that sounds throaty, yet not obnoxiously loud and annoying - something middle of the road but something that still turns heads and says "here I am". I will eventually be putting on different headers too. Any suggestions or opinions?? Thanks!!

This question has been asked a million times..

Whether or not you like an exhaust is in the ear of the beholder.. The most popular catbacks around here are:

SLP Loudmouth ( Louder than what you want/ especially w/headers)
Hooker Catback
Magnaflow
GMMG

I chose the loudmouth, I think it sounds really good and felt some power gain, but it is loud.

Has anyone just installed an electric cutout on the stock exhaust? I'm assuming that it sounds like crap?

I had the same goals and magnaflow did it for me. I'd get GMMG but the price for that is

if you have the SLP dual/dual right now (thats what my buddys ws6 came with stock) i would just look into headers and ORY. dual/dual already sounds good, the LTS and ORY will just make it louder and better sounding. if you have the dual/dual catback id keep it, waste of money getting another. just my .02

I agree....I still have my stock catback, just running through a cutout.

Stainless Works headers, Random Tech Cats, with a cutout. Some Rasp at 2000 to 2500 rpm, but above that it sounds AWESOME! But it is very loud!
