Your favorite cat-back exhaust? How's it going. Im debating on what type of exhaust i should get.... My options are Borla adjustable cat-back. The SLP LM1 or SLP LM2, Flowmaster, or the magnaflow. I'm looking for a deep loud sound that doesnt sound to raspy. Im also open to different types of exhausts. Let me know what you think.

I have the SLP Loudmouth 1, and on a mostly stock car, (i.e. no headers or cam) I think it sounds pretty good. Also, I've kept the cats on, removing the cats will add a lot of rasp, with them on it is just a deep sound. Also the SLP system is the cheapest, just $380. Here's a clip of it.

GMMG, Borla, SLP. Corsa is nice but SOOPER overpriced. I like Magnaflow with headers but stock cats and manifolds its so quiet.... Havent heard too many Hooker catbacks in person...

Gmmg is a real nice system....and i know there's a lot of haters on em but I love the sound of my flowmaster and won't look back. Am I losing ~5hp? Maybe but I haven't noticed it and neither had anyone else, anybody with similar mods runs right along with me..their magnaflow, borla, or LM (all nice systems) haven't made the difference IMO

GMMG, Corsa, and Borla all sound great. Although I am partial to the TSP Rumber Catback.

My response to someones question on the hooker in another thread:
I think there are 3 big things you should consider when buying a catback.
1. Down the road are you gonna go with headers and a ORY or catted-Y?
2. Are you gonna drive the car in the winter?
3. Do you like rasp?
I answered ORY, no, and no. I went with the hooker and really like the sound with LT's and ORY. After reading a lot of reviews on the hooker, and watching many videos, it seemed like the way to go for me (I HATE rasp) and as one review said: With that I was sold.
Some people say it is too quiet with stock manifolds/cats, but you say you are going to get LT's/ORY in the future, so it should be a good choice.

Well, after having the heads and cam put on a couple of weeks ago, the magnaflow that was on the SS was too raspy and too tinny sounding. So, I ordered the Hooker Catback from Speed Inc. Got here on thursday and I installed it today. Much Much better. Deeper tone, it is more quiet than the magnaflow when cruising and at WOT it screams. I read a lot of posts on this board before I bought the Hooker, and those that have it love it. While sitting at a light today, I heard a Cobra come up beside me and it had that sound only the Cobras produce. I've always said they run like sh#t, but they sound good. When I left the light, the Hooker had the same sound and growl as that Cobra, I've been looking for that for 3 years. Good fitment, only problem on installation was the passenger side tube out of the muffler had no hangers and the drivers side tube only had 1 hanger. We welded an additional hanger on each side and it looks beautiful. I've had 5 catbacks on this car since I got it 3 years ago. This is number 6, I think it's the last one. Oh and by the way, it has hardly any rasp with the cats off, it just sounds great and with the 231/237 cam, it sounds like the cars I had in the late 60's early 70's.

Yes I can confirm SLP LM 1's with long tubes and a ORY is VERY loud, and definitely raspy at points. Other than the rasp I love the pure raw, loud sound at idle and WOT
