Don't think there really is a "best", it's all opinion. I have the Borla ATAK and love it though.

"Best" exhaust is very subjective, since everyone has a personal preference of what they would like their exhaust to sound like. I thought the factory exhaust was okay, but just a little on the quiet side for a muscle car. So, after listening to many different exhausts I opted to go with the Borla ATAK. It's loud and deep on startup and it definitely screams during WOT. There is drone to contend with, but it is bearable for me. Good luck!

Glad you mentioned that. That´s exactly what i´m looking for. A full brand new exhaust, including long tube headers, cat deleted. I´m not sure which to buy, wether or not they´ll fit together and stuff...

Suggestions would be appreciated! Maybe Kooks headers and magnaflow/borla tubes?

You won't gain much if any power from a aftermarket catback. The factory catback does a great job of everything except sounding tuff! Check out some video on ebay or go on our website. We have tons of videos up in our exhaust section. If you find something you like try to find someone on the board that lives close to you with the same system. Hearing it in person is always a good call before you buy it.

Everyone has a different opinion on catback of choice. Our full TSP systems use magnaflow mufflers because I really like the tone they produce. Honestly its best if you just listen to a few different systems in person & see what you like.
