Catback and TT
I used to have 2.5" system from turbo all the way back, that was
Corsa Touring and X-pipe.
Very quiet, very stealth.
In fact , every time @ track the speaker would joke about it, beeing so quiet.
He shut up once i ran
I installed 3" (stainless works) mid section and fabricated my own 3"
over the axle and use straight pipe on track , sounds VERY nice.
But cops dont like it too much.
So on street i use GHL 2.5" cat back, but still uses 3" from turbo and over axle.
This is how a V8 should sound imho.
BTW, i always knew that turbo engine like free flowing and big exhaust, but on the other hand i saw how much power LPE could muster out of their pkg. so i thoght what the he.., this is good enough.
BUT i picked up 80 rwhp across the whole RPM range , going from
2.5" to 3".
close to 800 rwhp from 3900 to 6000 RPM
unreal 1035rwtq @ 3600 RPM
So my suggestion would be , get a TT, 3.5" and a GHL cat back

IF its power you want then you want to look at the B&B bullet,GHL and Borla strait thru exhausts. THe corsa Indy pace absolutly killed power on my turbo setup.
THe Borla sounds much different, almost "euroish" vs the B&B and GHL.

the car is going to have twin turbo's with no cats and the MTI G1 cam.
to be completely honest, I want the thing to sound as stock as possible and to be really stealthy without losing TOO much hp
suggestions ?
I just sold my B&B PRT's and am going to use a stock Ti Z06 catback at 1st, but Im exploring my options.
