What exhaust should I buy?

Ok, I'm looking to buy a new exhaust for my 2SS and need some suggestions. I want to get something a with a little deeper more muscle sound than the stock, but not to loud. I don't want anything that makes you have to turn the radio up to 30 just to hear a song cruising down the road. Any help would be appreciated.

Try here

I like Borla. Sounds like a big block rat motor from the late 60s, early 70s. I have heard you want to go Atak with stock exhaust manifold and stock cats. S-Type with shorty headers and hi-flow cats and Touring with long tube headers and hi-flow cats. But some people want loud, so they go with Atak and long tube headers with or without cats.

Corsa hands down. Nice and quiet highway cruising, but really wakes up when you lay into it. Just put it on my car the other day, and have Corsa on 2 SRT8 vehicles. No drone what so ever.

I vote Flowmaster American Thunder. Corsa is very high pitched... more European. Something that belongs on a Ferrari. The Borla cat back type S is also very nice. The ATAK is a bit loud and unrefined. Avoid a muffler delete or staright through system. Too much decel poping. In the end... its you car and you have to like it. I have heard TONS of cars with various exhausts... we are talking TONS. the best sounding car in my opinion is my friends car... LT headers, no cats and flowmaster american thunder cat back...

The Flowmaster american thunder sounds nice too, how loud is it going down the road?

I have also been thinking of going with the flowmaster american thunder but I wanted to see what people thought of the interior sound levels with the exhaus, how much louder is it then stock? How bad is the drone with the L99?
