Default Best performance muffler?

I am going to replace my stock exhaust, but now the problem is with what. I'm considering a cat back system such as Corsa but the cost is a bit high. My second option is a good quality perfomance muffler.

What I would like to find out is what's the best performance muffler for an LT1. I would like a muffler with low restriction good sound and low if no resonance, if there is such a animal. Also somthing that would be good and not become obsolete after mild performance mods, roller rockers, cam etc.

Thanks for the input.

I agree Corsa is the way to go if you don't want resonance. I've never had them but I've ridden in C4s with them and there is no resonance and they sound great

I didn't think Corsa produced and sold mufflers. I thought you could only get their product as a complete cat back system. :confused:

What is it with GM? Sports cars with fake tips. Why don't they just put fake vinyl wood on the bodies too, like mini vans or station wagons? :lol: :lol:

I am installing Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers on my 95 due to the price ($85/ea.) and they flow extremely well. They are quiet under normal cruising but get louder the more throttle you give!
