Gang,
I know that there are a lot of choices for exhaust, but I'm not sure which way to go. I have installed Kook's long tube headers, so it's time for the remaining exhaust. What are the thoughts for the headers back?
Thanks,
Scotth

After having done some looking around, I think that I have settled on the Magnaflow cat back.

Its really just a matter of personal choice on sound, the catback is only going to net around 10HP at the engine, so go with what you think sounds best.

Magnaflow seems to be suggested most.

magnaflow is a nice low key exhaust if you dont want to call attention to yourself, i prefer flowmaster for the rumble, borla supposably is best of both world so my cousin claims for his silverado trucks, but their really expensive if you can afford that try it.

Thanks to all for the response. I am looking at the Magnaflow. I'll let you all know what I decide to do. I hope everyone has a nice week.

flowmaster still hasn't came out with a package for the GTO's yet, but hearing magnaflows on their website sounds pretty good i like it a lot, wonder how it sound with headers

have you checked out the slp loudmouth I or II exhaust? They seem to have quality sounding exhaust.

the corsa exhaust is exactly what i was looking for its loud when you want it and quiet when you dont.It took 40 minutes to put on and that included unpacking it from the box it came in. exhaust tip size is only slightly larger than stock so it doesnt look like a boyracer. I wish I had an idea of what it might have added powerwise . Corsa states that this exhaust flows almost 2x as well as the stock system .This system fits exactly the same as the factory pipes did .

are you running catted midpipes and o2 sensors?Im thinking about running some headers but I dont want to use o2simulators. I also want the cats on it.

I also want the cats on it.i running slp Long tubes w/ high flow cats and corsa sport , now when i finally get the intake for it iwill get it tuned and have the two rear o2s tured off . you can have them turned off when you get your car tuned.if you run straight pipe with out cats your engine light will come on and then youll need to shut the rears off but if you have cats on you will not need to.wish i had a sound pic but i dont.

I dont mind drawing attention to myself so I got the SLP LM exhaust packaged with my SLP Mid-Length Headers. I think the LM is the best sounding exhaust, but everyone has their own preference

check out www.streetfire.net (http://www.streetfire.net) has tons of gto videos with all types of exhaust sounds. just click "GTO" into video search.

I have just intalled a cosa x-pipe and corsa performance mufflers onto the factory pipe. The exhaust guy from the shop tells me that the tips are incredible that come oem on the car. The pipe is also very good, so it is outragous. I love this sound more than anything i have ever heard, look into it on ebay they are for sale for 287.43- that is so low for Corsa!

you really should take a look under there at the pipes. the factory r/h pipe has a huge crimp in it ! I dont know what they were thinking or the reasoning behind it but I felt it had to go.
