Default Best sounding exhaust for these cars

I have noticed my magna flow cat back sounds very good, but is really quite. What are some of the louder ones? I was thinking slp loud mouth, or flow master? My older Camaro has flow masters and edel brock headers and was very annoying to say the least. Not looking to buy anything, just curious.

I like my magnaflow, but I feel like it's too reserved.

I have yet to hear some LTs on a magnaflow catback.
I'm going to be going with Pacesetter LTs, Catted Y, out to the existing magnaflow cat-back.

In my opinion, if you can swing it I would get the Corsa Cat Back especially considering the fact that you have a WS6 with the rear bumper slots. These tips look like they were created for our cars rear bumper.

My friend had Corsa with LT's and man did it EVER sound killer! I cant tell you how many times he was asked to rev it up and constant compliments on it. Not only does it sound awesome, but the clean look you get is worth the sub 800 dollar price tag for it. PM me if you are interested and I can send you to a site that sells them for 741.99. Oppose to 1,100 they go for every where else.

I have had a borla with LTs for years and still get compliments on it. I decided on these after a friend of my got them. They fit the bumper slots, like the corsa do, but the nice thing is you can switch out the adjustable plates whenever you want so you can go quieter or louder.
But I have also only heard good things about Corsa as well

check out the LS1 sounds section. they have clips of almost every kind of exhaust combo.

follow my garage link, and look at the vid clips of my dyno runs for my car. i have pacesetter LTs, TSP catted Y, and orginal loudmouth. i love it, get nothing but compliments, and really shut the ricers up when i autox or hit a track day. everyone says how good she sounds. the only thing id change is if i ever come across a GMMG chambered, and swap out the loudmouth.

I love the way my 98 sounds. I have MAC Headers, MAC Y-Pipe with cats, WS.6 Muffler with a Zed style cut out. I can put up a clip thru my digital camera but it sounds way different in person. Very mean & healthy sounding. It helps to have a 4000 Stall to go with it

No i've heard it, it sounds awesome,but ive never come across a clip or video. Closest thing is the borlamouth but its actually quite different becuase the borla mouth is still a single chamber/dual exit as opposed to true duals. There are plenty of Corvette and cobra vids though.
