Default What Kinda Exhaust?

What would be a superb sounding exhaust with LT's and no cats? Personnally dig Borla. Just would like some suggestions as I want this TA to sound exotic.

I am a big fan of Magnaflow. It is pretty tame idling and driving around town, but once you give it some gas it really opens up. You also see good performance gain from magnaflow.

IMO Magnaflow is good, but gets a little high pitched in the upper RPMs. I personally like my custom 1OTL 3" offset Borla XR1.

I like the sound of my Borla with the small plate in, very little rasp and I get compliments all of the time. I still take the plates out occasionally because it sounds good and raw , but it`s to loud and raspy to drive for any distance.

LM = garbage
Magnaflo and Corsa = (Corsa wins with tips though )
GMMG = awesome with sub-400ci....over that, sounds nasty and not in a good way, imo.

Any of the above go with cats so it doesn't sound like you're in high school....rasp is not cool.

I had a GMMG and it sounded really good but IMO nothing beats a set of true duals
