What do you guys think is the best sounding and has the nicest rumble.

Best exhaust is by far LT's mated to true duals with your choice of muffler. I personally love the sound of duals with borla xr-1 mufflers but the flowmaster single chambers sound good too.

Magnaflow clip in my sig. I loved my cammed/header/ory/magnaflow setup but duals will always sound better and flow better than a y-pipe setup.

Flowmaster 10 series (single chambers) sound sick but I would be weary of running them under the axle. Id say you would be better off dumping them as you wont lose the ground clearance that you would with them under the rear axle. Another option is the vinci hi performance bassani true dual system. Its set up to run with headers (with a few modifications), runs out the back, and is over the axle not under. There is a clip too of a custom true dual system with brola xr-1's and it sounds amazing IMO.

Magnaflow on the stock y-pipe is way too quiet. I'd go with LM or Flowmaster for sound.

If i was to do bulllets I'd go with 3in X, LT's, and moroso spiral flows. Those mufflers sound sick, they are cheap, and not to many people have them so your car will def not sound like all the others.

True duals sound the best! By far.

Borla. Period. Especially with LT's, ORY, and cam. I just loved mine. Not to mention the adjustability in sound.

I have magnaflow with LT's ORY cam,heads and I don't like it. I'm switching to a borla xr-1 setup with the loudmouth. borlamouth setup. get rid of the rasp with the loudmouth and it sounds great.
