Default Vote on best Catback Exhaust

I still have the stock exhaust on my car, and I have nothing done but a moroso cold air intake and a hurst shifter. I really want to get my car running right so vote to help me decide and give your opinions.

My preference is the magnaflow cat back nice tone and stainless steel...

Again this is a preference and I'm in my thirties but to me the SLP lodmouth exhaust was too loud to live with on a daily basis. When I was in high school having an extra loud exhaust was more appealing funny how priorities change as you gt older...

Well that definately is true, because my buddy has a ls1 Z28 with true duels and long tubes and old people look at him like he is an idiot, but I still like the louder exhaust but i don't like it loud and raspy, more so loud and clean sounding.

From hearing exhaust notes (none of them personally, only online) I'd say GMMG is the best sounding exhaust. From what I've read they also flow very well.

I honestly like my Flowmaster set-up. i have a 40 series with a gutted cat (pipe welded in the case). It is mean as hell, but manageable.

Come on man, how can you not include corsa in this? I can tell you now that is what will win.

The Corsas sound good on everything, but it just depends on what you wanna spend

I had Corsa on my car, and it sounded great. Sold it and bought a 4" mufflex system, just never got to install it. Ive heard mufflex on my friends cars, and it sounds great, not to mention the performance gains.

Here is an idle clip of the car going through a transition of the Corsa Muffler and a QTP Cut-Out.

It really depends what your plans are for the car. Loud mouth sounds good on a stock car. Magnaflow to me is a little quiet on a stock car but sounds good with headers.

I run Corsa, it's a little spendy but worth the extra $$ imo, all polished stainless, and the tips are sweet.




Heres there site:

Corsa is the best.

Out of that list, I voted for hooker, it may not be stainless, but it is the best sounding there.

If corsa would have been there, that is where my vote would have went.
