Default best sounding exhaust

i am seriously thinking about an aftermarket exhaust. i was just wandering what everyone thought was the best sounding and performing muffler - overall. i want it a little on the loud side, but nothing to make the neigbors sit up in bed! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
thanks

I went with Magnaflow. It may be quieter than what you are looking for. It is a little louder than the factory system that is on your car now, but it is much deeper. Alot of people like the Hooker system and it has a good sound. I had a hard time finding people in my area to listen to so I used this website, www.thefbodyshop.com it has a section of nothing but LS1 exhaust sounds. Good luck in finding the right system for you.

Hands down true duals are the best sounding exhaust, but you need a good exhaust guy to fab a system up for you and you are better off waiting till after you get headers so you don't have to do it twice.

I'd say you'll like the SLP Loudmouth. Go to www.slponline.com to see what it looks like.

It's the best sounding, best looking, and best performing exhaust for the money, IMO.

I have borla I think it is awsome sounding <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> . It also comes with plates that you can swap out so you can decide what plate you want for how loud you want. Its a little more then the other products but I love mine. Go to thunderracing.com if you don't have a high flow air box then spend the little extra money and buy the performance package which comes with Borla cat-back and whisper air lid.
Later,
Warren

I used to have the Loudmouth and I loved it, it was the perfect volume for me, but I like it loud. My (mustang) friends complained my car sounded like a truck. <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />
