Best Exhaust? Im looking into buying a new exhaust soon, I was originally looking at either a Corsa, Borla, or SLP, but I just want to know what one would provide the best performance....

Any cat-back will all give a slight increase in hp/tq, but not anything really noticeable. It all really depends on what sound you like, what look you like, and what you can afford.

It's all subjective. I think the GMMG sounds the best on an LT1, and is what I'll be getting in the future. Borla is also good. I think the SLP sounds like a Jake-Brake on a big rig, and the corsa doesn't have a good tone to it for me. Although you really can't beat an open cutout... or two

I am keeping my stock exhaust! Yes thats right! I think it sounds great! Call me crazy! However it will sound the best out of them all when I get a lumpy cam, LTs and the ORY. But the main reason I am sticking with this is b/c I will be runing dual electric 3" cut-outs right of the headers. Nothing could be louder (if your into that) or sound like a race car when you want it. I always enjoyed the stock sound of the LT1 with the factory muffler. It sounds the best with later model LT1s that have dual cats.
I think the best exhaust and the one that flows the best since it actually pulls the exhaust out of the motor would be LTs with 3" True duals using an X-pipe with the two moroso spiral flow muflers dumped before the axle. Just like what BlueB4C has on his 2002 LS1. Check him out, he has a bunch of videos with his car. I have never heard a car that sounds better than that! And I am willing to bet it will sound even better on an LT1 --> they always sounded better to me for some reason... theres my .02
