Corsa hands down for looks as well as sounds....no drone, very easy to live with when cruising around, but hammer it and the whole world knows you're coming!

Before you order some new cats, just know that you can get them replaced for free since there was a recall on them

I have the same problem at the moment, the MagnaFlow Cats & LM2 muffler arent installed yet in my sig. I currently have the Flowmaster Catback w/ a broken cat. Exhaust isnt loud enough for me, so im using the broken cat as an excuse to change out the entire thing. Yess, go with Magnaflow cats & a GMMG.

I think the Magnaflow Slash-cut tips are the best looking tips. I also love the sound of Magnaflow's Cat-Back. Most people find that it's too quite.

i have the stock catback and manifolds and put on a cutout. Best sound from stock exhaust you can get i think. Isnt loud at all. probably will need a good catback for when i get headers though, cutout will b too loud

Hooker with flowmaster merge and ORY

Not too quiet, not too loud. I'm in love with the sound. No rasp.

i dont remember which years that recall covers, but i would definitely look into it. as far as exhaust, whats more important to you? sound or power? ive got borla. makes good power ands sounds alright. imo, whatever you get you will become used to it. with that in mind, if i had to do it all over again i'd get the first generation SLP loudmouth. makes hella power.

i do like the sound of the GMMG Exhaust, so where can i order them for a good price and do they make more than one style? i.e., flowmaster has the 30 40 and 50 series and so on. And where can i get some magnaflow cats, everyone seems to rave about those? Also for a good price. thanks!
