SLP or check out the GMMG chambered exhaust if you want better sound

Also you could try dumps after the cats, thats what i do and i LOVE it. It is the cheap solution but i can be stock quiet or very loud at my choosing.

I think performance wise every exhaust system is the same, but if you just go true duals you will get more power and its less money plus you will have a strong muscle car sound.

GMMG hands down period. It has a great tone. Now if you just want to be loud as hell and have rasp (depending on what you have done) then get a SLP Loudmouth

I love my Hooker. The sound is good, and it is less than the GMMG.

Incorrect.. Compare a 40 series to a LM. 15Rwhp I would bet.


Xpipe/1 chambers.. Loud but sounds like sex.

I like magnaflow, Its tame until you get on it then it sounds beastly and a real nice smooth sound too. If you want extremely loud just get a cutout

lol SLP LM as the best exhaust hands down? You must not have headers. LM is one of the worst, IMO, once you get headers. I enjoy my magnaflow, but there are tons of good exhausts out there.

i have magnaflow and its okay.. its very popular choice on this site as it is great quality, stainless steel for a very good price. but i would say GMMG, hooker, and duals. i also like SLP Loudmouth also.

All personal prefferance..guess the straight through mufflers (SLP LM1) would give u the most power...I like mine.

anything is going to sound better than flowmasters.

What are your future plans for the car? Keep that in mind with your decision... if you want to throw in a cam someday you will regret a decision like SLP loudmouth... depends on your budget but Corsa or Magnaflow are great systems.
