Default Borla Exhaust or maybe Loudmouth

I found a used Borla Adjustable for $400. Is this worth it? I don't know much about Borla other than it's expensive. How does it sound? Is it loud? I am looking for something significantly louder than stock. What kind of gains am I going to see? I am mostly concerned with sound. Would I be better off going with a Loudmouth? Any advice or info is appreciated. Thanks.

Also, any sound clips of this setup on an unmodified car would be great. I looked on LS1Sounds and didn't find much. There's one but in the URL it says "ORY." I have a stock 2002 CETA.

Lasthawk,
That does sound good.
What would I be smarter doing, going with the borla or buying a brand new Loudmouth?
