Default Best Flowing

I was just wondering what the best flowing exhaust set up is without being too loud.

I want my car fast. That's why I bought it. Though for the record, I want it loud as well.

get a cutout flow better than any catback and you can control it at the flick of a switch

I dunno...there's something to be said for having a fast car that isn't loud. Por ejemplo...the turbo C5 ZO6 that laid waste to the C6 ZO6 without even making a peep.

For a regular catback type of exhaust, the Hooker and SLP Dual/Dual both flow well, and are quiet (stock quiet) until you open them up. Magnaflow is pretty tame too, and a good price. Duals depend on the muffler used...mine scare women and children no matter where I go. People think I'm driving faster than I am because it is so loud...oh well

As far as flow goes, the least restrictive catback has to be SLP Loudmouth or GMMG catback. True duals are as good as it gets, but other than the loudmouth and GMMG, the only other really free flowing way to go is to have long tubes, offroad y-pipe, and a cutout, or two, however, they are all gonna be really loud.
