Catback Which sounds the best?

Hi there, I am picking up my 06 this week, I want to put an exhaust kit on it, but not sure which kit is going to give me the sound I want. I like the Flowmaster sound, But nothing available for the 06. Any comments?

The JBA catback has what looks like flowmaster mufflers,but I'm not sure what they sound like.......but the price is right $399

Thanks, maybe I can find a sound clip.

I suggest an X pipe with two Borla XR-1's or Magnaflow 4x11's.

When you put on LT's and remove the cats it'll just get better, especially with the magnaflows.

I am on my 3rd catback(Magnaflow),try to find a gto with the exhaust that you are considering to take a up close and personal listen.It will save you money and headache's,I had Corsa and Borla and did'nt like either,but I'm a 48yr. old fart so what do I know.

Love my Borla cat-back.

I've got SLP Long Tubes and a Magnaflow cat-back. Love the combo, although i didn't want it to sound real loud. IMO it's a good system and I like the sound...

I don't want mine to loud either. If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run you?

MagnaFlow catback with x-pipe is the one. I've heard that the Corsa is to raspy and sounds like it's made out of tin. Complaints about the Borla is it's too loud during normal acceleration, tolerable at cruising speeds and it has a nice aggressive sound when you step on the throttle. The MagnaFlow has a tad bit throatier (if that's a word) sound than stock. Some say it's not loud enough but I love it. But as always it depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. A few guys have gone with the muffler delete approach. So that can be an option for you as well.
