you already know my thoughts on this, but:

My 3.5" CMS catback outflows any catback out there and it clears just as well as or better then any catback, and even with the Y included its still cheaper then the GMMG catback. You can choose mufflers also, from mild to wild

Get some headers and go with over-the-axle true duals.

Magnaflow! As it's been said... it's not too loud when cruising.. but at WOT... it wakes up! Plus, with heads and a cam, you won't have a raspy sound and you'll maintain a nice deep sound.

i love the magnaflow with cutout that i picked up at overkill. i am constantly switching between the open cutout and closed. i really like the sound quality of the magnaflow imo it is so much better quality of sound then the flowmaster that was on it. and a good jump in power and torque also.
