Default Exhaust help for Brother-in-laws C5

My brother in law just bought an 01' C5 and is looking for exhaust. When I wanted exhaust help I came on here and you guys persuaded me to get the hooker cat-back and I love it, so I thought I'd do the same for him.

He asked me about the loud-mouth from SLP and I told him that it is too loud on the f-bodys, but I don't know about the corvette. I know my hooker is one of the most free-flowing, best sounding, and reasonablly priced for my car, but what would be the like for his? He wants it loud, but I don't think too loud is the way to go and he will get tired of it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sound clips would even be better.

Don't do the LOUD MOUTH, it will sound like a Ski Nauteac (spelling?). Have a friend who did it....never has lived it down. Corsa, Borla , C5 GHL, to name a few. Can be a little on the pricey side but sound good. Corvette exhaust will always sound different then F-bodies will so your exhaust wouldn't be the same on his car...known fact.
