Default which exhaust...and then some

i know, i know, the question that's been asked 1,000 times...well, since i'm ordering one on monday, here's 1,001. I've just had the car a few weeks and i've narrowed it down to the borla, corsa, or slp loudmouth. I like a nice aggressive sound but I keep reading different adjectives like "drone," and "raspy." I also need something on the induction side and am leaning towards the MTI lid, any suggestions? Finally, to finish out the initial set of mods i'm looking at either the B&M Ripper or the Pro 5.0. My car came with the factory Hurst, and I hate it.

Any suggestions, pros, cons, etc would be greatly appreciated.

I have not yet heard a Corsa, but I have been told it has a good refined sound.

Borla is nice, but can be a bit loud depending on your taste. Loudmouth is the loudest.

MTI lid is a solid choice.

I like the Pro 5.0 just a wee bit more.

Borla has 4 adjustable plates.Basically quiet
to cutout.That was my decision.If you don't
like the sound level you can change it.
If you don't like the loudmouth, you have to buy
a new exhaust system or live with it.
Induction I originally went MTI lid w/ a K&N filter.
I recently changed to a K&N FIPK.The FIPK will
make more power.143% more surface filter,1/2 a
pound lighter,and a smooth hose connecting the
MAF to the throttle body.I'll be dyno testing it
tomorrow at Speed Inc.over a lid and K&N filter.
Another guy got 5 RWHP over that same combo.
We'll know tomorrow. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

BTW,I bought a Hurst billet shifter and I have
not missed a shift yet.I think the Ripper,pro 5.0
and hurst are all basically the same shifter.
So buy whatever is on sale.
