Which exhaust is best is subjective. There is no right answer, only personal preference. It all depends on what kind of sound you are after. Something like the Corsa's will be not so loud at idle, but scream at WOT. Borla's are loud and mean sounding but sometimes drone can be experienced. There are many different exhaust systems out there. I recommend spending some time on http://www.ls1sounds.com/ and see what sounds the best for yourself. Personally I love my stock exhaust, but I have an Z.

Loud is going to be Stingers or one of the muffler-less systems like the SLP Loudmouth or B&B Bullets.

No cat back will give a stock car any more power but I love my Magnaflow.
