Default Which one of these exhaust systems with TSP headers and ORY

you guys have any info on which system would be best sounding and best performance out of these? Borla, Corsa, Hooker Headers, or TSP true duals. I will be using TSP 1 7/8 LT headers and their ORY

I prefer the true duals myself. If you wish to go over the axle then the Hooker has a nice muscle car rumble and the Magnaflow has a mellow deep rumble that is fairly quiet in the cabin. If you have any further questions feel free to give us a call. We would be happy to help you out.

So i changed my set up; ordered Kooks LT 1 7/8 headers, kooks ORY, and borla catback exhaust. Can't wait to hear the sound difference and see the performance gains!

I'll toss another option in the ring, Stainless Works. I love the way it sounds, and I don't have any rasp at all with it.

Here is a walkaround and inside of the car idling with the Stainless works catback. I can honestly say, there is no rasp at all with this setup.

Just to follow up, there is absolutely NO rasp at all with my exhaust setup. There is a little bit of drone, but I think that's because the muffler is actually touching the heat shield on the gas tank, so I'm getting some reverb back into the cabin. Some insulation should fix that.

I know you've already made a purchase but I'll toss in my experience with my setup just for the hell of it. I have long tubes, ORY with a FM merge, and a MagnaFlow 14419 bullet style muffler with catback. It's still very loud (being that the bullet muffler is very small and non-restrictive) but actually very deep with little rasp at all. I'm sure the FM merge helped with that. All in all I love this setup as a cheap alternative to more pricey options

I heard a soundclip and watched the video of an LS1 with corsa exhaust and the system sounded like crap. Just an fyi
