I can only spreak of my exp. with pacesetter LT's great fitment tight to car with no vib.'s, rattles, or leaks. I've used them for a little over a year now.
Borla and Gmmg are to me provide the best Tone with very high decibel level but the price is just crazy, good to find these used. the loud mouth proves very loud and affordable. just my $.02.

by far the loudest catbacks are the loudmouth series but they are usually recommended against if you plan on putting LT's and ditching the cats because they get crazy loud then
i have Pacesetter LT's and like them, i've had them for a year and dont have any complaints so far
for exhaust i run the hooker catback setup (without cats) and its definitely loud at wide open and definitely still tolerable around town, hooker catbacks are on the quieter side of the spectrum, but i highly recommend it with headers (without cats) its still plenty loud. But of course thats a matter of oppinion, other people on here might think its too quiet so take everything you hear with a grain of salt

you aint got get a kit or go stainless. that ***** expensive. draw out the demensions, lengths, bends, ex. of what ever system you can think of with reason. Take it to a trusted muffler shop and have them make. cost me $250 mufflers included. And I get at least 2 people a day compliment my exaust, for $250. just a thought.

thats kinda subjective but if you got the money dont mess around and go with GMMG, on a budget Id recommend Magnaflow, I've heard and ran many catbacks and those are my favorites, if you want all out loud then Loud Mouth is for you but I think it sounds shitty.

Loads of opinions on this. Like said above, if you want just plain loud, go with an SLP loudmouth. The Magnaflow sounds great, but most of the time it is pretty quiet unless you get on it. Myself, I'm going with LTs and 3" duals dumped at the axle with short Powersticks, don't know if that's an option for you or not. If you're lowered, or plan on it I'd get a set of Pacesetter coated LTs for clearance reasons, if not I'd go with the Jet-Hots.

I run a magnaflow muffler with 3" x-piped true duals, catless and with the coated pacesetter longtubes. It is loud, and since it is dumped at the axle there is a lot of interior noise too. Sounds great, but highway trips can get annoying.

I have lts ory and a borla muffler and i like the sound. Its quiet at idle but when you get on the gas it has a nice loud tone. What i like about mine is that its quiet in the inside loud in the outside. Its always good to be able to hear the people that are trying to talk to you in the passenger seat or in the back. Or maybe listen to the radio without having it full blast

Ive got Pacesetter LT's with ORY and Magnaflow catback exhaust. It sounds great! It is quiet until you put your foot into it. This is great for me because it is rather stealthy when I want it to be.
