I went with a Magnaflow system. I started out with some high-flow cats, then some 4" x 14" round resonators, and x-pipe, then back to a dual inlet/dual outlet x-muffler then dual 4" tips It looks great, especially since I used polished stainless steel on the system. I spent right at $850 installed. The sound is awesome, but had a little too much resonance at about 1,200 to 1,700 RPM. I swapped out the 4" round resonators for some 5" x 8" mufflers, and it is much quieter at that RPM range. It still turns heads, when I get on it. It sounds a lot like the LS1 in my 2000 Corvette.

I put some sound clips out on You Tube. Do a search for Q45 Exhaust and you should find it. I also posted some pictures of the system with the temporary clamps on it and the 4" resonators. Do a search of the archived posts and you should find it.

i found the clips you are talking about, just sick sounding, how about a flyby vid?

or taking off from a stop?

Have your exhaust shop run a single 3" pipe.

I think my exhaust sounds the best

Remove rear suitcase muffler, remove 2 resonators, join OEM dual exhaust after the cats, single 2.5" to the rear and my custom "muffler" on the back

Can you upload them? the old threads have dead links to "the org", and I can't find the zip file I had with everything in it.

Superglue and swarovski crystals from an arts and crafts store. I also did a 90-93 clock with crystals on the inside that looked pretty dope.
