I have duals with sweet thunders and it sounds awesome. I get compliments every time I take the car out. It's LOUD, but the st's give it a nice tone... Pure muscle

I had speed inc do the exhaust... If you can find a local shop to fab a system up for you, I would go that way. A custom system is much more likely to fit well than a generic one, just make sure you have a shop that knows what they're doing.

Haha... covered all the bases pretty quick. Check out ls1sounds.com and do a search... I'm sure someone has made a poll with those three choices.

Magnaflow bullets, one right before each exhaust tip, sound great!

i'd go with single chamber flowmasters with an h-pipe. thats what i've got and i love the way they sound with my long tubes. it's really not that loud inside the car just driving around, but when you get on it, it screams muscle hehehe

I have bullets and love 'em! Mine aren't dumped, that was TOO loud so I went under-axle out the back. I've never had a person tell me they didn't like the sound of it!
