In the end its all up to what you think sounds good, but I like corsa because it doesnt drone, and is just a hair louder than stock below 2k rpm, and gets really loud when you get on it. I also think it sounds really clean. Thats just me.

This should have been a "Vote for the exhaust you have on your car" poll. Most people are pretty biased on the catback they have. I voted for GMMG BTW. Stainless Steel and AWESOME sound on stock manifolds and even better on longtubes.

I would go Hooker! I have a Borla with H/C+BOLT ONS and i think it sounds like total ****. My buddy has the Hooker and it is one of the best sounding cat-backs I have ever heard on a LS1.

Go Magnaflow, it fits all of the requirements you mentioned. Plus it's stainless steel and is priced great.

I like my magnaflow, but I hate the tips. They're way too big and they stick out like a boner in sweatpants. I've had a mufflex with a magnaflow muffler sitting in the garage for about 6 months now. It's the single outlet style with no tips. I love the way they sound. One day I'll get the thing installed.

I love my hooker exhaust system. It flows great and doesn't break the bank. If I were go get something else it would be a magnaflow for what you want. If you are spending the money on a good set of SS headers why not get a SS exhaust= magnaflow.

Flowmaster is good... if you like making less power than other catbacks.

My choice is not on there.

Spintech..

it's not as known in common circles, but pretty well known in racing circles.
