Default Best value cat-back for L98?

I have a borla cat back and it sounds quiet to me. I want my car to sound tough. I also want the most performance gain. Any suggestions? Anyone in the Seattle area want to trade their noisy exhaust for my quiet borla?
Thanks in advance. :seeya

Borlas Quiet? Do you have the restictor plates in? If you like loud eliminate the cat. I guess muffler eliminators would be loud but borlas ive heard are loud. I like how the tri-flo sounds but untill i can afford em. :cheers:

My borlas are quite loud. Nothing like the Mustangs around here that don't have mufflers, but loud enough for me. Maybe it's a relative term "loud"?

My exhaust cost me a total of about $300, not including headers. It's loud. See sig.

I couldn't believe how loud my 85 became when I gutted the clogged cat. Resonance is absolutely terrible. Checking around for best price on Random cat... then will wait for, supposably, Corsa to come out with their L98 system. For now the MAD true dual muffs are just fine :)

My TPIS catback exhaust provides a great sounds and also frees up alot of backpressure. It comes with flowmaster mufflers.

Borlas are pretty quiet on L98 with the rest of the exhuast being stock. Adding headers and high flow cat will make it loud.

I'd go with Flomaster, it's on of the meanest sounding systems out there. The price is pretty good also. :)
