Default Exhaust 2005 C6?

I am considering a cat back or possibly even full header back exhaust for my car. Anyone have any recommendations on best sounding/performing options that are out there?

I like this combo myself.

Texas Speed long tube headers with OEM Z06 Bimode exhaust.

I have Dynatech LTs, their highflo cats and SLP LM1. Pops every time you let off. I like it.

Hard to go wrong with a used Z06/ZR1 exhaust from manis to exhaust. Respected tuners here say it's like 1/2 way to headers for the LS2/3's, and it sounds great.

I did a muffler delete and X pipe, sounds great if you don't mind it being loud.

I have kooks headers and kooks midpipes with borla stinger mufflers and it sounds amazing... a slightly crackling high pitched sound at WOT that I'd say more resembles a pissed off Ferrari sound then your normal LS... My friends always want me to lead the pack when we go on cruises because they love listening to my car...

texas speed headers, and x pipe...no cats..and i used something from ebay called nxtstep performance LOL (i literally had 500.00 to my name)... cuz after having to do a diff swap 1 week after i bought the car...i was freakin broke and just wanted to drive it...

but i like the sound..deep tone when cruising not too loud under normal driving conditions..i loooooove the popping on trailing throttle when coming to a stop.. but when you let it eat its freaking loud but no crackly ,,,

most importantly....absolutely no droning at all....zero..
