As goes for price, sound, and quality, Magnaflow is the one.

There's Magnaflow on a '98 SS w/ PaceSetter LT's (no emissions) and ORY.
I would definitely recommend this system especially if you're going w/ LT's. Sounds AMAZING! Sound clips and videos don't even do it justice!

Enjoy!!!!

I have a 4" mufflex with a straight through Magnaflow. Lil raspy on WOT but I'm pushing more cubes.

However, I still like it... Cruising, nice low rumble and it's all the way out the back, not under the car......

I really like the Magnaflow setup I have on the car. They sound awesome since I've put the Long Tubes on.

I had flowmaster, then tried loudmouth II, now have magnaflow with a cut out. Out of all three systems the magnaflow was the quietest and fit the best and quality is top notch. If you are looking for loud as F*ck go with loudmouth if looking for tame low rumble go magnaflow and if you want it to sound like crap and have poor performance go flowmaster. I would suggest if you get magnaflow get a cutout that way you can still **** the neighbors off.

I got my car with it already on, so I've never had to shop around for prices.

Might want to try Byunspeed.com - they offer free shipping.

been very happy with my magnaflow. its definitely a nice piece. just dont be shocked when u install it that its quiet as magnaflow is one of the quiest catbacks until u rip on it. even with longtubes its still pretty quiet. heck, im cammed and its still quiet.

magnaflow is more sleeper while loudmouth is heard at any throttle. if you want a loud car, dont plan on any other exhaust mods, and have an m6 and dont go much over 70 on highways than lm1 is a good choice. why i got it. otherwise stay away.

but it doesn't sound like you want it as quiet as magnaflow is. if you plan on headers its good but otherwise id look for a middle like lm2.

also i found google video better than ls1sounds which had mostly people with headers and cams and werent many videos so you cant tell how close the camera is sitting to try to see how loud it is. just my .02

no i do like the sleeper type exhaust and i am planning on putting headers on my car and y pipe. just dont know if those will pass inspection if they dont ill have to take them off for inspection then but the magnaflow should hide the sound better

DMH 3" Electric Cutout on a Flowtech unit.

Works perfectly - I highly suggest DMH.
