hop on youtube or the ls1 sounds page and find out what you like best. i just got done going through the exhaust comparison and for me i liked borla the best. but for the money slp loudmouth on stock car sounds pretty good to me. with exhaust it is to each his own, what sounds good to me might not trip your trigger at all

Don't go with Magnaflow, I bought a Magnaflow catback and it sounded like ****... like a damn boat IMO.

If your car is relatively stock then I think the Loudmouth 2 sounds nice...

I have flowmaster singles on my TD's right now, and its the most BLAH muffler I have ever heard. It literally has no tone at all, its just exhaust noise. My car sounded better with open headers.

I don't think you should be recommending catbacks because he has an x-pipe. So since you already have an x-pipe, I say drop the flowmasters out of there and put sweet thunders in place of them. Borla makes some pretty nice mufflers too, like the xr1

Yup. If you're talking about mufflers for TD's then I say get Sweet Thunders.

He did not specify that he wanted to keep the duals. He asked about a particular sound, so I reccomended a way to get there. Maybe OP can come back and elaborate? I have had 4 different TD setups so maybe I can help if thats what he wants. Heres a video of a TD setup with x pipe to moroso spiral flows, they sound good but I hear they don't flow that well.

I love my GMMG with LT's and no cats; before the headers it wasn't 'all that'. Good luck man.
