Exhaust Question

I have a'04 CompG and I want to get new exhaust. I want to have a deeper more agressive sound, but I don't want to get blown out inside the car. So I would like to hear from you all which would be the best for the CompG's. As far as price, quality, and sound. I am trying to get something decent, but not break the bank at the same time. The Corsa sounds nice, but $1129.00 is a lot of dough. And all I have is what is listed in my signature below. Thanks in advance.
 


Just replace the mufflers. Don't do a cat back. Borlas aound good. Haven't heard anything good about the flowmasters. With just swapping out the mufflers, you would be able to gat a dp and not spend as much as the cat back. You could do the dp with cat or if you can get away without one, dp without the cat. I've seen a couple people on here with magnaflow mufflers but haven't heard them yet. Seen alot that love the way Borlas sound. That's what I have so far and I'm sure someone can enlighten on this subject a little more.
 
i have heard nothing but good about borla mufflers, the way they sound. and you can get the mufflers for 160 for both on ebay. with the extra money you save you could get headers to help out with performance then.
 
hm? would these borla muff's work on a 06 grand prix. i know u guys r referring to (as ur picture) the model before mine. New GM's are a B****. I just paid $120 for an aftermarket radio wiring harness...BS since the models before 2000 just costed $20 at best buy....

Ok, well I ended up getting the Corsa exhaust system. And I must say it sounds wonderful, we installed it Friday night. She has a nice growl to her now. The tips that came with the exhaust were too big for my taste so I stuck with my SPO tips. Let me know what you guys think. Here are a couple of pic, and a sound clip.

Sorry to bring this back up so late in the thread and most of you probably know, but the reason for the expensive harness is it contains the cars door tones, beeps, etc... also I think its needed so that the Onstar will still work over the speakers

yeah but its still high-priced...I opened the box and its about the same size computer chip thats in ur TV remote!
 
^ haha funny, you know as well as I do, it doesnt cost much to manurefacture these parts! Cake-Holes come up with something new and price hits until another company makes a similuar product then it will drop =P
 
If you get some thing that is louder than stock and truly sounds good (I've never heard a 6cyl sound good) you need to post a sound clip.
