Default What are people running for Exhaust.

My car is stock. I want to know what people are running with a stock cat back.. I'm torn between Borla,B&B Tri flow,and Gmmg. Corsa doesn't sound aggressive enough. SLP loud mouth 1 sounds like crap.. What do you think?

I would go with the gmmg. I currently just have a Dynomax Ultraflow muffler welded in.

LM1 is one of the best sounding exhausts with stock manifolds. Hooker and Magnaflow sound pretty good too.

I don't know. Gmmg sounds pretty good,the thing that bothers me is that it sounds like a 70 charger and not a Trans am.. I test drove a 02 35th Anniv Camaro SS,with 6 spd. It had Gmmg on it..It sounded good. The problem is they all have their pro's and con's.. I have not heard a good clip of Corsa on a stock F-body..The clips on ls1 sounds suck. you tube doesn't have any good ones either..

I loved my adjustable Borla. You can find them on here used for under 500 too.

Corsa sounds wicked, but only if you have LT's....but from the list you have there, I would go with B&B, I have heard it only a few times, but every time it was sweet.

My brother's 05 Vette has a B&B Route 66 I ordered for him..Its sounds pretty sweet.. But it would take a month to get it. I like the throaty sound of the Borla too. I have no idea how it sounds taking off or on the highway tho..

Perfect for me.

I don't need loud. I need a good clean sound.

I have Borla on my 02 and I love the sound of it. Don't care for the tips though.
Would much rather have the Corsa tips.

I'm not 18,I'm 39.. I'm not looking for 69 chevelle sound. The Borla has a classier sound. I don't know why people hate the tips. I think they look pretty cool. Although I have not seen them in person.

No LM1.. Too loud. True duals,no.. Like I said,Gmmg,Borla or B&B.. I would like feedback on those 3. I'm not doing headers or long tubes..Stock..I want a deep note at idle.. That's more important than WOT..Also,something that will sound sweet when taking off..
