Default which exhaust is best!?

I figured with a title like that I should attract almost everyone for imput, but seriously I just purchased my second F-body (2000 WS-6) and I want a different sound than my first one. My '94 camaro just uses a simple flowmaster system and I want something that will give me as much hp as possible (obviously) while creating a sound less abnoxious than the loud mouth.

I say corsa hands down but it is expensive ($750+). If you don't want to spend as much I'd say go with magnaflow

GMMG is my $.02 Or you could go with a true dual setup w/mufflers instead of dumps.

Oh no, not this again. THERE IS NO "BEST". Search. Then check out ls1sounds.com. Check your local hangouts/buddies/regional forums to listen to as many as you can in person. Then search again.

Why less obnoxious than the loudmouth? Sound quality or quantity that bothers you about the loudmouth? Are you going to run headers in the future? If so, are you going to have to pass emissions? If so, is it OBDII plug in diagnostic or is there a sniffer/visual involved? How do you feel about running with/without cats? Would duals dumped at the axle appeal to you?

777: you still following me around the site?

My vote for best exhaust is and always will be true duals. I have speed inc's 3" dumped with dynomax bullets. Sounds incredibly nice, but I plan to switch the mufflers for sweet thunder's whenever I get around to it. And add a couple cutouts...

I believe that the best sounding catback is GMMG hands down, that is if of course you got the money. Cause the system is not cheap.

My true duals with Twister mufflers sounds great. It's the quiestest TD setup you can get and still use a small bullet style muffler, but it's still louder and deeper than my friend's 94 T/A (only way to make an LS1 sound deeper than an LT1 unless the LT1 has TD's) with a Flowmaster, no cat, and shorties.
