I vote side pipes...as that's what I have and that's what I like.
That being said, there should have been a fourth option.
Stock manifolds with 2.5" true dual and Magna Flow mufflers.
That's about the best you can get without buying headers or side pipes.

Of the 4 choices I voted for the stock pipes, no cats and Magnaflows. 
Although if it were mine I would opt for duals and magnaflows.

Todd...I think exhaust plus your budget is personal preference as you can tell by all the different opinions you are getting. If your budget is limited...get a set of true dual exhaust from Corvette Central (they'll bolt up to your stock manifolds) and a pair of good flowing muffers such as Magnaflow. This will eliminate the converter, give you a good flowing exhaust, and sound good without breaking the bank. But, who am I to say, you may be a wealthy entrepreneur.

Wow….
little surprised at the results, thought that D) would have this all the way, for sound looks and performance, then C) just because of looks then B) for the sound and a little more performance.
I will be looking it to this a little more as I was going to fabricate my own side pipes and off of stock manifold into square side pipes running along just below the frame and set back just a bit for no leg burn, as well as baffles just a few to bring the sound level down.
Thanks all for your votes i may rethink this
Any thoughts
