Best sounding/performing exhaust with STOCK y-pipe and headers

I want exhaust that sounds nice and I don't want an electric cutout, I wouldn't mind getting a manual cut-out except for the fact I want a nice tone without it being obnoxiously loud. If you could check out my last post and gimme some advice on that, it would be awesome. I know the cutout is a good and cheap way to get the most power out of the stock manifold and y-pipe but I really wanna go with a nice cat-back system instead.

i dont really understand how it would void ur warranty, its not a drive train part....if u check ur warranty thats all u have to do...one clue is, is it something they will replace? and i think they would notice a aftermarket catback just as much as a cutout

Trying to avoid a cut-out because I'm not sure what the dealer would say if I rolled in for service with a cutout on my exhaust so I wanna go with the cat-back only. Was previously thinking about the Hooker c/b but I think it's too quiet for my taste, does it get as good a flow as LM even though it's quieter? I'm leaning toward LM, but is 1 or 2 the better flowing of the systems? Also, how much is GMMG exhaust and where would I be able to find it? Thanks everyone for their help so far.
Not sure if just a Hooker cat-back is quiet.
i have the bassani tru-duals on both of my cars. the 00 formula still has the stock manifolds and cats like yours. this system bolts directly to the factory cats. i've taken mine to the dealer to replace a cat that went bad. they had no problems with it being on the car.
here's a sound clip of that car.

My magnaflow looks great and no rasp. Some people like the simplicity.
I don't like the Dual Dual because you can see the welds for the tips. I don't like that.

i've never been a big fan of magnaflow though. their tone always sounded too smooth and hollow for me, no throatyness and too much popping (rasp), and their tips are ugly as sin.

magnaflow bullet muffler in place of the LM resonator. It sound so good and is very loud.
