Help! Which exhaust!?

I'm stuck, just got a Camaro on monday and can't chose which exhaust to get. I'm looking for a pretty loud, nice deep tone. stuck between a flowmaster, a corsa, or a borla atak. I plan on shutting off my AFM. What do you guys think is the louder of the 3 and best sounding!? Thanks

Your going to get just as many opinions as videos, go with the type of sound you like.

What type of exhaust , cat back, axle back, headers. ?? Your just going to get a poll of what brands everyone has . So I will recommend kooks headers / cat delete / magna flow cat back, because that's what I have. It is deep and loud. No rasp no drone lol. Someone will sidetrack your thread into the great drone debate . Can hardly wait to see this thread in a day.

Probably cat back, I don't want to do any cutting. I just want to buy an exhaust being I'm in the 1500 dollar range for right now. Just at a toss up of what to get, also what do you guys think of the 5 in tips magnaflow has on its exhaust, too big?

I almost like the s type better because it doesn't sound overly loud at idle.

I have the 5 inch tips they fill up the holes perfectly on diffuser. Good sounding system, I had it before I had headers and it sounded good then too. I did melt the diffuser do to the tips being so big but it gives it that nice road warrior look. It melted because my car is the frikin dyno too much, lol. On one of my tunes it shot flames out the exhaust, not big ones but flames none the less. Tuner did offer to buy me a new one. I declined because its barley noticeable, but i was more than happy to trade it for discounts on other work. Lol

cbakke, whatever you end up with I want to hear it in person. Videos suck, no matter how good the audio it will never sound like it does in real life. I had Pypes Violators on my Pontiac G8 GT and no video (even my own) sounded like they did in person. I want that deep rumble at idle that makes you take notice and a nice deeper tone minus rasp when you accelerate away, I have the manual so no drone issues for me (like I would care anyway).
