I’ve been reading on exhaust (muffler) systems and come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as the best system ( meaning the best) I’m talking about a full or cat back…. If I’m incorrect let’s hear it. The Best Exhaust System for a stock car

At face value, with few metrics, there are very few 'best' of anything.

Unless youre talking about the best C4 motor oil. Then there is a clear winner everytime. And that winner is.....

Problem is most people have different auditory abilities. What sounds good to one, will not sound good to others.

Most systems are garbage in my opinion.

The best I recommend is a set of headers going into the factory cat back system. If you want updated exhaust looks, my preference is a Corsa. Anything else I have heard and worked on is made of crappy materials or has the dreaded drone.

I really like my Flowmaster system, sounds awesome, no drone.
Not especially in love with the exhaust tips, but to be honest, I've never looked into replacing them.

I loved my Flowmaster system on my stock and then modified LT1.. It has zero drone, just like Corsa doesnt either. That is critical to me.
Best is subjective. I remember the 5.0 mustangs with flowmasters. Damn they sounded great. Or Ferraris with V12s. Awesome.
Its all subjective. But, I would like a Stainless Steel system as the Flowmaster is a bit rough with aluminized steel. I think they are different now..
