Very subjective. But then again this entire thread is. Loudmouth was just right for me.

We have the Corsa on our Trans Am and Magnaflow on my Formula. The Corsa is a much more unrefined sound. It basically sounds more mean haha. The Magnaflow is a little bit quieter and has more of a mellow, I'd say almost European sound to it. Both are great exhaust systems. Corsa is worth the money just for the tips, those things are gorgeous.

Forget cat backs, get TD's. If you really want a cat back get GMMG or hooker.

I went with TSP Rumbler and have some spendy Kooks LT's on but I love the sound and performance with my setup... very little drone, sometimes I think I hear it but can't be sure. I went with a cheaper exhaust so I could get the nice Kooks Headers. The install on the exhaust was very easy and I got way more bang for the buck, not as loud as the loudmouth but has a loud throaty sound.

I've had my Hooker for a few months now along with the SLP Stock replacement Y-pipe and I love it. My car is an everyday driver, has to pass full emissions, and will prob. never be raced, so I have no plans to add headers. I bought the Y pipe for $100 used and it made the car sound a bit meaner, even if it doesn't really add much of a power gain. The Hooker is a good deal for under $300. It's quiet when you want it to be and sounds cool when you need it to. Chalk up another vote for the Hooker!

He already said that he purchased the Magnaflow, why is everyone still trying to give their 2 cents on what exhaust THEY think is better? Exhaust is subjective and no two people will ever think exactly the same thing. I love my TSP Rumbler, but plenty of you are happy with your catbacks as well.

It has been said that Magnaflow is a good choice and he made that choice, good for him.

Have you consider Random Technology?

Look at my dyno graph. Blue first pull cutout opened, red second pull cutout closed - no difference but even flows better up to 3500 rpm.
That's a sleeper my friend...

Until now, I don't decide to install headers, but may be ORY. If it is too loud, I will install cats to reduce the sound.
